egg count question
How does your RE know how many eggs you are producing when you are on Clomid or other meds like that?
When I had my last sono he said the eggs were too small to see, so how do they know?

They measure the eggs via internal sonos and monitor the growth.

Re: egg count question
It probably was a very early sono.
When they start developing, they will estimate a count. When it's really early, they see lots of small "bubbles" (follicles): not all will grow.

Re: egg count question
he did the internal sono looked at my ovaries said you are going to ovulate soon, got the smiley that night, went back next day and he said looked like it happened. Never said he could see the egg. I feel like maybe hes missing something now. I dont want to ask him again when I go back for the f/u to my clomid. How am i going to know i didnt do this cycle for nothing?

they can tell after you ovulate too. I think a corpus luteus (or something like that) forms. I am sure he saw an egg if he told you you were going to ovulate.

Re: egg count question
When you go for your sonos, does your doctor talk to you about what he's seeing and the next steps? Whenever I have an internal sono done, the technician talks to me the entire time and keeps me informed of the progress that I am making. I would DEFINITELY ask your doctor exactly what happened. He should be ready and willing to provide you with all the details. If not, I would maybe consider looking into another doctor.

He does the sono himself and now that you mention it he doesnt rally explain step by step. I have been asking questions but I guess I was thinking hes been doing this for as long as I am alive so he must know what hes doing. I should know better though. I will definetly ask for more details.
