Hi everyone, my doctor has kindly got some blood tests forms for me to do as we are hitting the one year mark trying for no. 2 post-miscarriage. (Trying casually as I am away a lot due to work etc and it has been a very stressful year).
There are three forms, one is lots of stuff for days 3-5 of my cycle, another the expected progesterone day 21 test. Lastly a strange one that just says ‘C’ on it. Also a transvaginal ultrasound as I had a nightmare extra heavy period with huge clotting unexpectedly this month for 10 days with a migraine (don’t normally get migraines only once on the pill).
My confusion arises here:
- what is ‘C’ testing?
- why does she want the progesterone test 7 days before my expected period, my cycles are 26 days so that makes it day 19 which for me is only 5 days post ovulation. I thought it needs to be 7 days post ovulation.
- shall i go for the ultrasound after ovulation? Just curious as i read they can tell if you have ovulated, also it is easier to insert so less painful when i am most fertile so seems wiser?
Any help will be appreciated and I will update in case it helps anyone.
Thanks in advance
