Re: cd3 bloodwork
Before every cycle, whether IUI or IVF, I always had to get blood taken on day 3. Before we started anything and I just began with my RE, I had blood taken on day 3 and then on day 21 to see if I ovulated.

Re: cd3 bloodwork
Normally they are looking at Estrogen, Progesterone, FSH and LH each cycle. Helps them determine meds and stuff. Did they tell you about CD 3 sonos yet? Those are every cycle too.
You'll get the hang of it, we all do.

Re: cd3 bloodwork
Yes they do both bloodwork and sono's around CD 3 depending on when it falls on. I am going to specifically ask to see a doctor before I start a new cycle since I need a plan.
Good luck!!!

Re: cd3 bloodwork
To check your hormone level; not sure if you are doing IUI or IVF but if you will be starting meds they want to make sure your hormones are within a range to begin the meds. Good Luck

Like pp's said CD3 is pretty routine, and helps give an idea of what meds, if any are needed, and what dose, length, etc.
That stinks that no one has gotten back to you. 
Have you spoken to your RE about this? He/she should have at least gone over your inital blood work, u/s and discussed a game plan.

the plan (if dh is ok with it) is
cd-3,4 or 5 blood work
clomid
cd 8, 9 or 10 hsg test
iui
pretty simple right?

I would actually have the hsg done before you move to IUI's because if there is an issue you want to know beforehand...also has your DH had a SA...thats also important to rule out other things.

They do the hsg before the IUIs. I actually got pregnant the month i did my HSG.

Re: cd3 bloodwork
I'm confused, I did my first IUI earlier this month (BFN) but they never made me get an HSG done, should I ask the next time I go in? My CD 3 appt is tomorrow and thank goodness the doc will be in on that day.

Funny, the same thing happpend to me. I had to ask for it. I guess he already knew he was dealing with PCOS, so they didnt do an HSG (or a SA) until I asked for it. Both were normal, thankfully.

she said to help with more follicles to up our chances for the iui.
mama2b
hsg was a must for me before iui
doc agreed as well. since we have limited re coverage she thought it was best to make sure my tubes were good before moving to iui
oh and dh did get his sa taken care of

Oh good...I know some docs who dont require an hsg or SA before jumping into clomid & IUI's!!! I wish you lots of luck this cycle

You def should ask to have an HSG done as well as if dh hasnt had a SA that should be done to...it might rule out any issues you may have.
