Cycle Day 21 blood test

[natp18]

Hello Lovely Ladys

Just looking for some advice please

I have recently been diagnoised with PCOS and after a few ,day 21 blood tests I was told I was not ovulating,even though I was having normal 28day cycles. I have lost 12% of my body weight within the last 2 months and was hoping that I would ovulate naturally this month,so did another day 21 blood test...............gutted I have my progestion was still low at 3.9....

I was just thinking what happened if I didnt Ovulate at cd14 but later lets say cd 18 would this reflect on a Day21 blood test?????

Any advice much needed please

Oh I m starting clomid of 50mg on my next cycle but was so hopefully for BFP this month given how much weight i have lost arghhhhh

thanks for reading
hug
Nat xx

Hi Nat,

If you ovulate later than cd14 then your progesterone levels will not be as high. These peak midway between ovulating and having your period, hence on the "typical" 28 day cycle if ovulating at cd 14 then cd 21 is when projesterone levels should be at a peak.

You mentioned that your cycles are 28 days but that doesnt necesarily mean you O at cd 14. You may O at a later day and have a slightly shorter luteal phase / second phase of your cycle. If you use an ovulation predictor kit or learn to chart your temperatures then this can help determine what cd you ovulate.

I hope that helps

Love fluffy xx
