f*** f*** f***!!!!!

Finally ... the bloody dr has called me about my CD21 blood test results ... panicing ... me ... hell yeh!

He said that my progesterone levels were below the lower limit f***kity f***kity f***!!!

He said that although my bloods were take last cycle on CD22 (on a Monday, as they are obv not open on a Sunday ), and I confirmed that I ovulated (through an LH test followed by x3 temperature rises as confirmation; that I should get them done again on CD19 ... so basically saying I could be oving earlier than I think.

Question: So how does that work when Im getting opk+'s then?

Question: with below the lower limit progesterone, this means I wont implant properly ... thats right isnt it?

I also said that I poas opk/LH last night and had a faint line, and as Ive never tested this early before, then maybe I am oving earlier ... to which he said might be true, so keep testing! But then Im confuzed.com as I always get an opk+ mid cycle too!

Sorry ... had to blurt this out ... any advice welcome!

 

[HoneySunshine]

Babe, I know its not ideal but this is a positive step now as you have some answers, which are treatable - DaisyDuke had the same, she is now 19 weeks pregnant. The dr can give you progesterone to take to boost your levels....but try speaking to her, Im sure she wont mind

 

[LittleMermaid]

Thanks HS! Just been doing the proverbial googlefest ...

Dr didnt seem keen on doing anything yet though, said I need to have bloods done again this cycle and maybe next one too to see if results are the same - bah bloody drs! Tick tock, body clock and and all that! Hmmm ... I just read you can get progesterone cream ... does it have to be prescribed?

 

[HoneySunshine]

I dont know darling, google is brilliant!!

Its worth a try though. It may have to be a fertility specialist who prescribe progesterone. Im sure the dr just wants to explore everything with the new bloods before he takes action. Gets a proper diagnosis etc.

Its positive babe!! Youre actually getting somewhere and the Dr's are taking you seriously xx

 

[Lyns]

Deep breath....calm down.

Now you know from eveything you have read on here that one blood test does not a full diagnosis give! Now looking back at your temp charts (I don;t go by OPK's.....I get +OPK 2 to 3 days before I ov) you do tend to Ov CD13 or 14, so occasionally slightly early. Now add to that a day on for your bloods being a day later and you have 9 days after Ov as opposed to 7 (CD21 tests are only called that presuming you do OV on CD14 - they should actually be in essence 7dpo tests, but as most women don;t know when they ov (yes we are the minority), GP's call them CD21 tests.

So the main thing is to see what the repeat tests say....and lets face it, you are having these tests to find out why you ahven't gotten pregnant, and low progesterone, is one of the easist things to correct, so it could be all you need to know to change things for a prety quick BFP!

Please don't panic and try and look at this as positive!

 

[LittleMermaid]

... breathing and breathing ...

Thanks HS and Lyns too ... yes I agree, its a positive step as now I know this could be the problem ... as there had to be something going on!

Im going to continue poas opk-style to see if anything crops up earlier than expected, and if so, then I will schedule an earlier appt for bloods this cycle!

Thanks heaps girls ... xxx

Hi Love,

The advice and reassurance Lyns and HS have already given you is really positive and while I know as much about it as you do so will be useless on advice, I can give you a huge RL hug (and it goes without saying my ever continuing support) as soon as we next meet up or chat on the phone.

I have been with you every step of the way on your TTC journey and know how hard it has been doing all the right things and still not getting a BFP, at least now they can isolate the problem, treat it and resolve it so that you get your long awaited BFP!!

Lots of hun xxxx

Hey Pingu girls (and Pingu baba's! of course!)

Just to let you know our illustrious Pingu leader Nicky had a fab day at her new job today and asked me to let you all know that whilst she's decided on a wee BnB break, she especially misses you all, and sends tons of love n hugs xx

So lets make sure we all behave in her absence and get lots of nice BFP's for her!!! xxx

 

[LittleMermaid]
