I had a day 21 test done last week and spoke to a doctor (not the original one I saw who ordered the test) over the phone for the results. She said I had low luteinising hormone, and recommended referral to fertility clinic (age 35, ttc 10months).
Anyway, I came off the phone and realised I had forgotten to ask about my progesterone levels (and she never mentioned it) - I thought that was the whole point of the test??? I had also asked was is worth repeating the test and she said no. Have to get DH to go to his doctor to get a semen analysis done then go see my (original) doctor together, to discuss further (will most likely to be referred).
I'd like to know a bit more about the breakdown of my bloods, so phoned surgery again today, but have to wait to speak to a doctor/have a phone consultation, which won't be until Monday now. What questions should I be asking (want to get is right this time!)? I would go see my doctor about it but can't get an appoinment with her until the 21st!
Is it normal to refer on just one test? And I'm a bit dubious now as to whether the doc I spoke to on the phone knew what she was on about (I'm sure she's a competent GP, but...), as she talked about LH and never mentioned my progesterone results!
