Day 21?????

[juveen]

Hello Mumsnetters it my first post . Been TTC for about a year and Panicking here!! I am supposed to be having blood test day 21 but that makes it a Saturday and the hospital clinic is closed then . My cycle is 27 days anyway should I get the test tommorrow day 20, wait for Monday day 23 or do it next month ???

Hi there, my cycle is slightly eratic sometimes 28,29,30,31 days, my doctor said it didn't matter a great deal, I tested on day 20 and still got a positive ovualtion result. If the results come back as negative then they would repeat them anyway, so I would just have them done. X

My clinic told me if it falls on a weekend go with the Monday as then you can b sure it's at least 7 days post ov
