dr. b girls who go to the city office for monitoring

so i am going for monitoring at AFS for the first time on friday. the ladies at woodbury told me there is no specific appointment time - just 8am-11am for monitoring - first come first serve. is that accurate?

if so, is the wait long? i obviously have to go to work right after so im trying to see how much time i should be prepared to give myself.

dr. b said most of the monitoring is done by someone named olga? anyone have experience with her or with AFS monitoring in general? how long does it take for dr. b to get back to you afterwards? he said to call in the late afternoon if i havent heard from him yet.

im in the middle of an ovulation induction stim/time intercourse cycle. i did femara cd2-6, follistim 75ius cd2,4,6,9. today is cd10 and i had monitoring with dr. b. i had two follies about 13/14mm - one on each side, and some smaller ones. he told me to do follistim 75ius every night until my friday appointment. its good news so far cause in my other two similar protocol cycles i hyperstimmed (150iu follistim) and then the next cycle took 21 days of stims (a mix of 37.5 and 75 ius of gonal-f and follistim towards the tail end) to get two ripe follies. so its slow and steady cooking for eggs for me these day

sorry this became long-winded - just mainly looking for experiences of those that see dr. b and get monitored at AFS.

THANKS!

Love love love Olga she is so sweet. I am usually there between 8-815 and out by 9. I will be there Fri too! Good luck !

If you get there before 7:45 you can get in and out. They open at 7:45 and you get a number. Last time I went I got there at 7:30 and I was the second one in. I had to wait because the person who does the intake was out and they had to call someone else in but being #2 on a regular day without staffing issues is pretty good.

ok thanks girls!! so it will benefit me to go in as early as possible then?
also does olga show you the screen and tell you whats going on? how does the info get to dr. b and when does he usually call you back??

thanks!!
