[Lisaloo82]

So chuffed u got some answers. It's not best news of course but at least now u have a helping hand. Hope u don't have to wait long for ur BFP huni xx

How is everyone doing? Gone a bit quiet again x

 

[anniepie]

Glad you've got answers and a plan Laura-the worst thing is being in limbo...

I had a lovely busy but relaxing weekend with DH but can't believe its Monday again (boo hiss)...

I'm in no-mans land...AF over and now just the long wait to O...hate late O's...

Calling the docs Wednesday for results from my bloods (progesterone, FSH, LH) and hoping DH will go do his SA deposit tomorrow...

 

[Lisaloo82]

Fingers crossed for weds Annie x

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Well at least you know what's wrong now Laura.
Been away for a while because I've been quite ill, kidney infection. Really not fun at all, it's going but slowly.

 

[laurac1988]

Glad you and bump are ok mrs bump

I have an issue. Doc says I'm not ovulating as that's what bloods say. But bloods were done two days pot +opk. When I told the doc that he said that wouldn't affect the results. Then I said I thought it had to be done 7dpo... He said no.

Should I ask to see another doctor? I need to know if I'm ovulating or not. The fact I had a chemical pregnancy says I am...

 

[Jo_Bean]

We don't always ovulate every month Laura. I would ask for repeat tests next month. They can't say someone isn't ovulating based on one months blood test. It could just have been a duff month.

 

[anniepie]

I saw the GP who is the fertility specialist at our docs- she said the progesterone levels need to be tested 7 days before AF- I asked how many days post O as I have a short LP, and she said it doesn't matter how many days post O as long as it's 7 days before AF. She said people often have to go back for multiple tests to catch the right day...

But I agree, the fact that you had a chemical means you MUST Ovulate at least some times. Perhaps it's worth repeating it anyway because it could be that you had an anovulatory cycle, or at the wrong time

did you have the test cd21? That's often a mistake as it's rely on 'textbook' cycles, which we all know are rare!

 

[Jo_Bean]

I have 'normal' cycles and LP and I had to have 3 lots of tests to confirm ov. So I think it's just wrong to diagnose based on one set of tests.

Ask for a repeat and if you don't like the doc, ask for another doc

 

[anniepie]

Definitely agree with Jo

So I'm calling for my results in 15 mins- progesterone, FSH and LH...

DH tried to do his SA deposit yesteday, but got stuck in traffic for over an hour on the way to the hospital so (a) the sample would have been no good (need to deliver within the hour) and (b) the path lab was closed when he got there I've now got to request another sample pot. He has to not ejactulate for 3 days prior to sample. And next week we're likely approaching fertile period, so I'm not wasting any of his little guys to a pot

 

[anniepie]

Bloods back as 'normal' for all...they couldn't/wouldn't give me numbers, though Hate not having numbers...

 

[StefanieC]

anniepie, that's what they did for my results a few months ago - just told me they were all 'normal' so annoying!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Glad you're back to normal Annie.

Laura, agree with the others here in that all that test proves is you may not of ovulated this cycle, provided they tested at the right times. Lots of .if.

 

[anniepie]

No 'back to' Mrs B...just normal

Guess the next step is to try and get DH's SA done in a more successful way than this week...

Part of my was hoping for the bloods to show something that could give us a reason why we've not fallen pregnant in over a year of trying- some quick fix reason...

 

[laurac1988]

Happy everything is normal for you Annie. Appreciate must be frustrating, though.

I think I will wait it out and see...

Not looking forward to the metformin side effects

 

[laurac1988]

In other news... I'm booking our Florida holiday tomorrow

 

[MrsSmartie]

Hooray for Florida! I nearly cried when we went to the Harry Potter part coz it was so amazing and magical! Lol x

 

[laurac1988]

Yeah it should be cool. We're going with DPs mum and sis and her sis won't know we're going until Christmas... Maybe later if we can keep our gobs shut haha

 

[anniepie]

Oh that's so exciting Laura!

 

[MrsSmartie]

Aw that's nice x

 

[Lisaloo82]

Hey lau, I would defo ask for the tests to be redone. Mine we abnormal 1st as did it at wrong time. Then when we did it 7dpo using ff as guidance it was all good, showed good strong O. My doc is pretty good tho. He goes with me, I'm pretty pushy tho. I waited til I though o was near then when ff confirmed it I booked bloods for the right time. But there is a walk in clinic so u can go same day not sure what appointments r like where u r.
