My fiance and I are currently going through some fertility tests. I have had 2 miscarriages just over 2 years ago but not have not been able to conceive again since. I have had scans, swabs, blood tests, a hsg and everything is looking ok so far. The fertility clinic want to repeat my day 21 and 28 blood tests because of my 'low normal' progesterone results. My problem with this is that my cycle can vary anywhere between 28-35 days, so accurately getting day 21 and 28 is difficult. I can usually tell when I ovulate, but the time between ovulation and af varies. I have just had my day 21 test done on Thursday, basing it on a 32 day cycle, and sodding af has arrived this afternoon, so where my day 28 blood test should be taken next Thursday, I'm now all out of sync. I'm really upset now because I've missed it, and I'm guessing I'll have to ring to cancel my consultant appointment because the results will be useless? I wish I had a regular 28 day cycle. Feels like I cant even get the basics right :(
Should I attempt another lot of day 21/28 tests next month? If I always get them wrong I could be doing this forever. Should I just go to my appointment anyway (not til a few weeks time but not enough time to fit in more tests) or should I call and ask what to do?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
