Uterine Evaluation and Sounding: In order to make sure that the uterine cavity is normal, you will have either a sonohysterogram (visualization of the uterus with ultrasound while infusing a small amount of fluid through a small catheter), a hysterosalpingogram (a dye test to examine the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes), or a hysteroscopy (looking inside the uterus using a small camera). A pelvic exam will be performed to record the uterine depth and position (“sounding”).
“Mock Cycle”: Prior to the actual treatment cycle, you will be given estrogen for approximately two weeks followed by an ultrasound to evaluate the development of the uterine lining. This will help to determine whether you require any adjustment of the estrogen dose or duration for the actual treatment cycle. (Takes 3-4 weeks to complete).
