Am very confused! Having been ttc for 8 cycles but nothing happening I went to see my GP who requested Day 3 & Day 21 tests. The Day 3 tests all came back fine but the progesterone test is low & my GP said it looked like I hadn't ovulated! My confusion surrounds whether I actually got tested for progesterone on the right day! My GP said that you only have the progesterone test on day 21 if you have a 28 day cycle but mine ranges from 25 to 28 days. I do OPK & so can predict the length of my cycle from the day I get my positive OPK result. Last cycle I knew I was going to have a 25 day cycle so took the progesterone test on cd17 (For 28 day cycle you take it on CD21 ie 8 days before so I figured for a 25 day cycle you take it on CD18). As CD18 was a Saturday I had to get it done on CD17.
My GP has said I should have actually had it done on CD19 but I think this is not right ?
Has anyone else had a similar issue with variable cycles? - Sorry for the long post.
