To help your physician time the IUI with when you will be ovulating, you’ll visit their office two to three times over the course of your cycle.
Your doctor will conduct ultrasounds and blood tests to monitor your estrogen levels, uterine lining, and egg (follicle) growth. If your cycle is longer, you may have to go in for an additional visit. Your last visit, usually the fourth one, will be for the IUI.
