Would it be crazy to test anyway

[lostittoday]

Hi
Alot of you probably know my predicament by now.
ttc 2nd dc but I have been having irregular cycles.
I have had a day 21 progesterone test on this cycle which showed extremely low progesterone.
Currently on cd 34 with the same cycle and no period.

Maybe its wishful thinking, or desperation, but I still feel the need to take a pregnancy test.
I feel the need even though I know it must be impossible with such low prgesterone, I mean for gods sake with such low prgesterone I can't have ovulated and be pregnant, so what is wrong with my way of thinking.
Crazy I know but do you think I should test anyway.
I mean maybe I ovulated much earlier in my cycle and the test didn,t pick that up.
Maybe I had not ovulated yet when the test was done.
Oh god I just don,t know anymore.

Did they not advise you of the course of action when giving you the results of your test?

I would not test in such circumstances.

Attila I'm agreeing with you a lot these days.
I think you have spooky mind control lol.

I have to wait for my appointment at the fertility clinic on the 27th of June to find out what happens next.

The thing is atm I don,t feel right at all with sympotms such as nausea, feeling weak etc.
I am also quite moody and even though I have had the usual feelings as though af is on its way there is no sign of it.
What is it all about.

I suppose its my shitty thyroid again.
Its so cruel at this stage in my life wanting another baby and having this condition which is probably preventing it.
Sorry feeling sorry for myself and very angry.

Some symptoms of hypothyroidism:-

Feeling tired and sleeping a lot

feeling the cold easily

dry and/or pale skin

coarse, thinning hair and brittle nails

sore muscles, slow movements and weakness

a hoarse or croaky voice

a change in facial expression

depression

problems with memory and concentration

weight gain

constipation

fertility problems and increased risk of miscarriage

heavy, irregular or prolonged menstrual periods

a slow heart rate

I would be phoning that clinic to see if there are any cancellation appointments going. If there are you may well get seen before June 27th.

Yes I would like to be seen before the 27th of June and have thought about phoning to get in earlier.
The only thing is that I would like to have my day 2 test done first so they can see those results as well.

However I haven't been able to get this done yet as no sign of my af.
Maybe whenever af decides to turn up I will manage to get it done in time for the 27th of June.
Maybe if I did get in earlier they may say they want this test doing first anyway.
I am on thyroxine my thyroid isn,t untreated I am currently taking 75mg and then 50mg alternate days.
I have to phone up my doctor on Tuesday to get the results of a latest check on it.
I feel as though time is running out with all of this messing around.
Don,t know what else I can do really.

Another thing that is bugging me is the fact that my doctor had done several hormone tests on me and always told me that they were all okay including progesterone.
Maybe I have wasted the last 9 months listening to her.

I realise that these results can depend on where they were done in a cycle, of course I have no idea of where they were done now.
I feel annoyed that my doctor didn,t instruct me properly and just did them at random I didn,t realise at the time these tests had to be done day 21 2 etc.
If my progesterone was low on the day 21 test would it not have been low on all the other tests as well regardless of where they were done.
Sorry I know I am rambling.

Do phone the clinic earlier to see if there are any cancellation appointments. You may be lucky.

If your periods are irregular blood tests can be done according to calendar days e.g the 3rd and 21st of the month. Mine were done then and it caused no problems.

When were your thyroxine dosages last looked at properly?. It may need changing again.

Usually a day 21 test measures the level of progesterone; other hormone levels are tested earlier in the cycle around day 3. Your LH and FSH should have been looked at and compared with each other at that time. TSH is also measured on day 3 I think. Progesterone levels are not normally looked at prior to day 21.

Hope this helps and good luck with phoning on Tuesday. You should be seen regularly now by a specialist, not your GP. Such problems are often outside a GPs remit.

I suppose I could try and get in earlier and see what they suggest.
My thyroxine was last checked on the 11th of April after a blood test showed my tsh to be 19, it was upped from 50mg and then 25mg to 75 and then 50 alternate days.
I am still feeling tired, lacking in energy though.
