I just had basic blood tests done by my GP. My day 3 tests all came back normal (I double checked the values) but my CD21 came back at 28.05nmol.
I say CD21 - I've been charting for 7 years and I know I ovulate late, so this was CD26 or something and 7dpo.. I didn't see the point in wasting everyone's time by going on the real CD21 which would have been 2dpo.
The GP has said this value is "normal" but a brief search online (and even their own ranges) say they like to see it above 30nmol to confirm ovulation.
I've been feeling so nauseated/metal mouth etc since 6dpo this cycle, so I was sure it was going to be a high value so I was quite stunned to find out it was that low and already feel like I'm out with a crap value like that (am 8dpo now)
I have a short LP of around 10-12 days (usually 11) and spot for a few days beforehand and have a lot of cramps. I've always been like this though, and have conceived (successfully and unsuccessfully) in the past. I've never had a "CD21" test before so I don't know what value is "normal" for me.
This is the part where I want you to share your sub 30nmol CD21 success stories with me. Or tell me I should go back to my GP and say this is not acceptable it is considered "normal"!
Thanks!!
