Hi all.
I'm only 3 months in to ttc, but as the overthinker and planner that I am, I was thinking about getting some home fertility blood tests to put my mind at rest and just to know what I'm dealing with and if I need to tweak anything earlier on etc?
Do any of you know which tests the GP's refer you for? I would normally go to the GP but I don't meet the criteria currently and they are seeing urgent cases only. Due to the timing of getting the initial appt with the GP and then blood tests on specific days of my cycle, it could be a longgg wait!
The 2 tests I have been looking at from Medicheck test for:
Advanced Female Hormone Blood Test:(taken 2-5 days of period)
LH, Oestradiol, Testosterone, FSH, Prolactin, Free Androgen Index, SHBG (protein), thyroglobulin antibodies, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, Free thyroxine, free T3 and TSH
Ovulation progesterone test (taken 7 days before period due)
Is there anything else I should be checking for on blood tests? We will be sorting tests for my partner too.
Sorry I'm still getting in to all of this and check BBT daily and use ovulation strips etc. I know it can take 1-2 years anyway but would just be good to know if there's specific things I need to focus on!
Thanks so much for reading - any advice greatly received! x
