Hi:
I have to do my day 21 test (progesterone level) check after 10-12 days of Ovulation and I was wondering if the result would still be accurate..
would that be too late?.I know they usually wanna test after 7 days of O ,but I will be in vacation and will not be able to perform the test earlier...
Thnx

Hi!
Yes, it will probably be too late. You might get away with 10 days, but 12 days is really pushing it. Its probably better to wait until next cycle.
Good luck!

I have irregular and heavy periods all my life and it is not usual for me to be a week or so late. This month I am 10 days and I know I am not pregnant as I have not had intercourse for several months. However, I had unprotected sex a few days ago (8th day of being late) as I am late and waiting for my period to begin I figured that my most fertile days were past. However, I am now wondering whether this is true or if I could still be able to get pregnant?
Thanks
