So I started to sit down and count it out, and I think the nurse told me the wrong date to come in for my first sonogram. I started Clomid on Monday, 7/27, without a bleed, so I am assuming that is CD1. She told me to come in for a sono on Wednesday, 8/5, which is CD10. I think the confusion was that originally I was supposed to start the Clomid on Saturday 7/25, but I couldn't get the prescription right away, so I told her I would start two days later, but she never adjusted the date of the sonogram, which I'm pretty sure they want you to do on CD12. Oh well. I'm going back on Saturday which will be CD13. I don't mind the extra time, its more of a cost annoyance, but hopefully with insurance it wont be more than a $50 or $100 mistake.
The RE practice that I go to is like a factory in every way. There are 4 or 5 big RE practices in NYC, and everyone I've spoken to refers to all of them as factories. It has its advantages-- monitoring available 7 days a week, blood test results same day, open every day but Xmas, always a dr. on call.
What I'm realizing is that I have to be an advocate for myself. Ask questions, confirm everything, etc. Who cares if they think I'm an annoyance!

I think this could go either way - usually you start Clomid on CD3, so if you did count your first day as that, 8/5 was right for a CD12 u/s... not that it matters :-) I think you're absolutely right that you have to ask questions, make SURE you understand what's being done and why, and don't let annoyance on their part stop you!
