Day 21 Blood Test Results.......

[a1b2c3]

Got my first lot of blood results from my first round of chlomid. I got a level of 76.

My gp told me that that is very good, but he also told me to drink tequilla and have lots of sex (I think he's a bit of a hippy!), so I thought I'd ask you ladies if it was a good result?

Additional info, is that I actually had it done on day 20.... and if I've got my O day correct it was either cd 16 or 17. I don't know if that helps, but hey ho, just in case!

Thanks in advance ladies.

I can not be any help. But I am going to get my bloods from my first clomid cycle today.

It sounds good!

A CD21 blood test of 76 for progesterone is great x

I think thats great, take it the units are in nmol/l?

I didn't get monitored on my clomid cycle. Hmpf

Oh Good Luck wiht your test. You'll have to let me know what the results are when you get them.

Hi I don't know what the units etc were, I was just told that it was 76.

my results came back at 24.6

pre-clomid it was 12.9

so I guess it is helping

They tell me the doctor will have the results the next day. So I usually call before they even get a chance to look at them. . .

Sometimes I just cant wait for them to call me

I know that feeling. When I was having the bloods done on the friday, I asked how long until my fs got the results.... I was told a coupel of hours. So that afternoon I phoned the fs secretary. The FS was on holiday so couldn't give me the results (and the secretary isnt' allowed) not to mention the secretary said that they hadnt' received them. On Monday I phoned again.... results but no doctor to give them to me. so I had the secretary fax it to my gp. I phoned my gp.... and in the end, I think it was either Tuesday or Wednesday before i found out..... It felt like a life time!

That sounds like an excellent result, especially for only about 4dpo. Wow! Doesn't sound your progesterone levels are a concern.

My level, definitely mid-LP, was 19 If I remember correctly, above 30 at 7dpo means definitely ovulation, and 16 and above means 'possible' - so your level means you've well and truly ovulated, and got lots of progesterone.

I found this graph really interesting... 76 on that is amazingly high. Do you know if you're pregnant yet?!

Hi 254.

The charts seem interesting. I will def have a better look tomorrow.

This was the first ovulation I have ever had confirmed. To be honest, this cycle was only the second time in almost 18 months I have had positive opks. So far, I LOVE chlomid!

I haven't taken a test yet..... I know it sounds silly but I want to hold on to the hope for as long as possible. To be honest, I am also just so happy I ovulated!

People on here though keep saying to test. Tomorrow will be cd 30 (if I calculated it properly, I can't seem to think straight at the moment) so maybe I will give in and test tomorrow.

Doesn't sound silly at all! I tend to feel just the same... I don't test until my period is very late (with my early MC in Oct my period was due 9dpo - I have a very short LP - and I tested at 13dpo) - I find a BFN very disheartening... for me it's marginally less disappointing to realise my period is here.

People on here though keep saying to test. Tomorrow will be cd 30 (if I calculated it properly, I can't seem to think straight at the moment) so maybe I will give in and test tomorrow.

I reckon the longer you can wait, the better... well done for the willpower! And fingers crossed for you!

Well I annoyingly tested this morning. Now I am confused.

I had a very very very faint second line. It was hardly visible, but I swear I could see it? Is that even possible? Do you think I am out this month? I think I am now. I am so angry at myself for not waiting a bit longer.

 

[254]

What sort of test did you use? I've found that the way to know for sure is to use a 'decent brand' (like first response) as internet cheapy ones can give false positives, evaporation lines and false negatives.

I guess you'll know for sure in the next couple of days! Good luck...

Hi ladies, Well i'm not on Clomid yet but im on Metformin and i have been for 4 months now. the first time i have my progesterone levels done was Dec 2010 which came 7. i was over weight then. i have lost 2 stone and being on the metformin has helped my cycles come down from 60+ days to 33 days on the dot. i ask my GP to do bloods last cycle and they came bk 30.7 i think it was.
I have just had a letter from FS asking for me to have CD 21 bloods done for the next 3 months. the only thing is i find i ovulate on day 18 and would i have them done on CD21 or CD25? i'm confused lol

thanks xx

Day 21 bloods really should be done at around 7dpo, or 'mid luteal phase'... but the problem is many docs and even some specialists seem to think that every woman has a textbook 14 day cycle, so think 7dpo is always CD21... which we all know it isn't. If I were you I'd be getting them done 7 days after I ovulated as that would give an accurate reading (your progesterone at 3dpo will obviously be far lower than at 7dpo)... but it's your choice!

 

[Becci_Boo86]

I called the hospital and they got my FS to call me and she said to have them done on day 26 so that is around 7dpo

so roll on 30th dec for my bloods. i'm doing opks to make sure i ovulating

thank you xx
