Blythe, I am coping below my notes and responses of other ladies from FF on scans. I used ultrasound direct it's 99 per scan and I found them efficient. However, the lady who did my scan told me I had two follicles: one on each ovary while when I had an actual EC, both follicles were on the same left ovary. but in the scheme of things you only need to know follicles size and lining and that's not that hard.
re meds, they are definitely cheaper in CR but adding flights and hotel to get there might add a lot to the cost, also this medication may not be readily available. in Brno, there were only two pharmacies that could potentially have that and one required at least 1 day notice and the other luckily had the meds but we waited half day. Brno's clinic pharmacy can also post your meds to the UK (which might be cheaper than buying it here). also with Czech prescription there are only a few pharmacies in London that can accept it and the prices go up for this service. let me know if I can post you some of my meds, I am not sure if I will ever agree to do a stim cycle again and by that time they may expire anyway.
scan in London:
Rachel, have had all my recent UK scans done at the Birth Co on Harley Street, London:

baby bird - I get my scans done at ultrasound direct, and my gp did my bloods. It's worth a try? Even if he won't - he should be able to refer you to a walk in phlebotomy service who'd do them via the nhs for a small fee.

Daisy: use my local fertility clinic, for all of my bloodwork, scans and hcg tests. They are the closest NHS fertility clinic to me, although I pay privately for the treatment. They just have a set package price for initial consultation, scans, writing prescriptions, and bloods to confirm hcg levels at the end of the cycle. The BEST part is that when you get pg, you are already in their books as a fertility patient, so once your pg, you just slot right into the system, so your six week scan is free, as once you are pregnant you become an NHS patient......no discrimination as your pregnancy is not classified as a private pregnancy and the little one growing inside is an NHS patient in their own right. This also goes for meds, as once I was pregnant, my progesterone and estrogen was paid for by the NHS, so it may be worth checking this out if you need any meds post pregnancy. I had a lot of bleeding issues and was scanned every two weeks in the early days, however as a fertility patient, I wasn't signed off into the mainstream pg clinic until the fertility clinic were satisfied that the pg was on going and that I was OK.
re clomid, it has the same effect as tamaxofen, increases male hormones and as a side effect sex drive
also Thai massage was fantastic, I had it every day
