So there is no danger that the follicles grow too large and cause issues without the trigger shot?

Brief Answer:
Monitoring is better.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Clomid is used in an infertility treatment as an ovulation induction drug.
It is better to use ultrasound monitoring and blood testing during clomiphene treatment for better results.
