Progesterone Blood test at 8dpo?

[mommyluv02]

I called the doc today because it is 7dpo and i wanted to get my progesterone checked to see if i did indeed ovulate. they want me to check it tomorrow at 8dpo is this normal? i have low progesterone so maybe they are waiting an extra day for it to build but i havent heard of anyone else doing it a 8 dpo. any answers are much appreciated. thanks

me too! It is so great to have you going through the same **** I am :) Well, I am not glad you aren't getting preggo - oh hell, you know what I mean :)

yeah who knows.... It would be a great b-day present. its a good idea to exhaust all your options before going with the more invasive stuff. if we dont get pregnant this month i think the doc will want to go on to iui so i hope we get preg this month. but i guess we will see:) i have heard that preseed is great and many women swear by it. but then there are some that say not to use it because it gives them too much "juice" and the spermies cant swim through it all so if you are naturally lubed enough then i would suggest not using it.

I am praying - I keep reading that people sometimes get preggo right after the HSG, so maybe it will be worth it. My birthday is in Feb so maybe I will get a great bday present? Who knows. According to the RE, my hubby should be able to look at me and get me pregnant :) So, we obviously know it is me :(

Oh I hope they give you the HCG shot - then you know when the eggies will pop and you can time everything accordingly. YAY!!!

Weirdly enough I am not too disappointed that I am not on meds this month - well besides the metformin I just started - to get me preggo. My husband and I really want to try everything else before going to IUI's. I have the BBT, fertility monitor (which is already driving me nuts), and the metformin now. I haven't started that spray that the weird pharmasist - still feel like an idiot for buying it but I said I would try anything and I will. :) Think I will buy Pre-seed if I don't get preggo this month. Supposed to be a great lube that is safe and actually seems to pH balance everything and give them some swimming juice :) Who knows.....
