Im not telling u not to be monitored or not do what the doctors want u to do, but I did my clomid cycles without blood work or ultrasounds or triggers and I O'd everytime and knew when it was happening. If ur positive u want to do it unmonitored then I would suggest temping, tracking cm and using opk's to foresee and confirm the entire process.

Again, not suggesting that u dont listen to ur dr, just answering ur question from my unmonitored p.o.v.

Best of luck! =))

I was put on Clomid without being monitored, did an Ultra sound which showed a 2x1cm fibroid. I took clomid on day 5 to 9 and ovulated on Cd14 or 15. 14 dpo today and got a BFN. Doctor told me the fibroid would give me problems because of its location. So the next thing now is getting it removed soon than get back to ttc. to you.

Thanks for the advice. I have been tracking cm, temping and doing opk's for months now and I do know when I ovulate every month. My doctor thought my charts were a little sporadic but they were always biphasic and in December they checked a progesterone and I had ovulated that particular month which gave me some confidence on my charts. I'm also not too excited about the trigger shot because I already do what it's made to do, so why put it in my system when it's not needed. I picked up my Clomid prescription today, so I have it. I just don't have the doctor's permission to use it unmonitored...which means I could do it unmonitored for at least one month :) I understand why they want to check on things, but I, personally, would just like to try Clomid alone without monitoring for 2-3 months before caving to ultrasounds and blood work. Especially since my insurance won't cover a darn thing!!
