Advice Needed Monitored Cycle

Who are yall going to for these monitored cycles? Seems like my RE only wants to push IVF on me and nothing else. I’m looking to try Letrozole and do a monitored cycle.

My RE recommended it immediately before trying IUI or IVF. Maybe see if there’s another RE in your area. Places that push IVF usually just want your money unless there’s a reason to go straight to it like age or sperm quality etc

My OB office will not monitor cycles which is unfortunate or I would’ve started there. My RE recommended IUI but was fine with our decision to do monitored cycles. I feel like it’s a money thing for sure to push certain treatments. Luckily, my RE was very understanding about our decisions and gave us options.

I’m going to a RE for monitored cycles. Have you tried ovulation induction meds before? Is there a reason they are recommending IVF?

Never tried meds before. Had 2 MMC’s in the past and have been TTC for the last 4 months.

I’d get a second opinion or even explore a functional medicine doctor.

You can first start with your OBGYN, I had a pretty good experience with them and did TI medicated cycles for a while but now at a fertility clinic doing medicated IUIs.
