When checking your progesterone levels then give you three blood tests after ovulation...mine were tested on day 19...21...day 23 I believe...

Is this a family doctor or a gyno? I went to see a gyno who was able to help with this stuff as my family doctor really didn't specialize in this area.

 

[genesismarie]

Yes its my gyno she hasn't really helped at all this whole year & I'm starting to fear something is wrong. She didn't give me copy of results just called & said everything came back just fine beside I need more omega 3 that's it ultrasound she called & said everything was good I had a little cyst from ovulating that's it

 

[missjenn]

You should ask her what your progesterone levels are? And what days of your cycle they were checked on. Sorry...she doesnt seem to be very helpful for a year of you guys trying.

 

[genesismarie]

She took the bloods on a random day I requested my hormones to be tested & to be tested for Ovid so she told me she ran everything. But another weird thing I have ovulation pain today I usually get it on day 14 so far today is day 16? I feel like what next lol? This cycle is all wonky but the new normal cycle so idk

 

[missjenn]

I never got any kind of ovulation pain or any signals for that matter....my boobs would get sore a couple days after ovulation and remember...when charting...its not always right...said I was going to ovulate on Day 16 and im pretty sure I did in the 12th or 13th day. I only knew I ovulated from the affects in the following days. My gyno said testing on random days does nothing...it takes 4-5 days after ovulation to test the increase in progesterone.

Me & hubby bd atlease once a day we have only missed three days since the end of af. So I'm ike what is it going to take lol. I really hope we get it right soon because honestly I don't know much more I can take mentally & emotionally. I just broke down the other day when I had a perfectly wonderful day & hubby said he was to tired to bd &I just lost it & was balling. I don't even know how many months I can go through stuff like that

 

[missjenn]

I know what you mean...I wanted to have a baby so badly that if we missed a day I would fall apart and act like a crazy person!!!!

Doing it every day will take the fun out of it and it will become a job...so be careful!

I would seriously ask your gyno to test you progesterone levels properly. Have they done the dye test on your ovaries to make sure they arent blocked? I was scheduled for that test and found out I was pregnant 3 days before.

My gyno told me it was very common for women to have their fallopian tubes blocked....easy to correct. So if for some reason they were...all the sex in the world wont result in anything because the sperm have nowhere to go.

I really dont think she has done much for you at this point...I would start asking for stuff.

But my gyno did say a year was normal.

 

[genesismarie]

She keeps saying the same thing. Which to her means one year to me me means too. Because since it took a year to get semi normal I'm guessing she wants me to wait another year & I'm totally not feeling that lol

 

[missjenn]

Two years is too long for not doing any kind of tests. How old are you? If you are in your 30's they should be pushing this along for you.

 

[genesismarie]

I'm 21. & have a son so think that's why they act like I'm overreacting

Hi

Time on depo: Just the one shot in November 2012, so 12 weeks.
End date: February 2012
Time it took AF to come back: on and off since March 2013
Time it took to regulate: Havent had a proper period since March, have had spotting for last 13 days :/

Good afternoon ladies,
My last Depo was due September 2011, I only had one shot. Then i whent on the patch for a month in October to regulate my crazy AF. Had an irregular pap and had to have a LEEP on November. I have been ttc and nothing yet. It will be 2 years in Sept since depo shot was due. Has anyone been able to conceive after 2 years off depo? Or does anyone have a similar story?

 

[Nane]

I have a 2 year old son too im 23 years old and my af have been a little off. Right now im 22mo. since depo shot was due and my cycles are running on a 29 days. So maybe they will go back to 28 day and i can get a BFP soon. How regular are your cycles?

 

[genesismarie]

Ny cycle are super regular they are currently 26 days but before depo I was 28days think I ovulated on cd 16 this cycle so I think this maybe the cycle I go back to 28days

How long have you been off Depo?

 

[genesismarie]

This month makes a year since my shot ran out only got one shot in march of 2012.

 

[sherylb]

I had leep before I got pregnant. I was miserable waiting for the ok from my doctor that my paps were coming back clear. He told me a year after my last shot was long enough though and then he would help me. I was pregnant like 11 months after my last shot.

 

[esmeralda74]

My last shot was this time last year. Due to age & waiting list my doctor referred me to a fs, who we saw last month (may) she has sent us for every test possible. Me = blood, ultra sound, HSG etc and OH = Urine, ultra sound and sperm test etc. Anyway my point is at my appointment with FS, my first question was "is it or could it be the fact I had the depo???" Her answer was "NO, it's long gone out of your system, most of the time there is a under lying reason elsewhere, blocked tubes, pp, sperm mobility etc or the simple thing of patience"

So far all the tests are coming back normal, so fingers crossed for OH sperm test and my 21 day blood and ultra sound.

Oh and before I forget, if any of you ladies get sent for a HSG, don't worry about it, it's painless, yes you can feel it, but its the most amazing thing to see I was totally gob smacked and you can see for yourself there and then if there is any problems, love tests you get the same day (hate waiting).

Love and baby dust to all x

 

[genesismarie]

My doctors or not doing anything they haven't even DID day 21 blood and ultrasound. I don't even know what else to do

 

[genesismarie]
