I'm not sure if they can tell when you will ovulate by blood test, but I think they can tell round about when you might ovulate by the ultrasound. Blood tests are usually done to confirm that ovulation has occurred.
Just don't look! I NEVER look when they are taking blood. Plus I have crap veins, they are all "jelly" like the nurses always tell me. So I just have to put both my arms out and get them to try both.
Let us know how you go
thanks tasha.
i didn't look last time they took the blood but i just get all lightheaded at the thought of them taking the blood and the needle in my arm. gives me shivers just thinking about it! i know its all in my head but i cant help it.
will check in on wed. thanks.
Hi ladies. u/s went well. she lady that did it said it all looked normal and that i prob didn't have PCOS, but that i should get a blood test to rule it out. so off to the docs tomorrow for that. she said it is prob just my body regulating itself from being on the pill for 10 years.
not looking forward to blood test but it has to be done. ugh.
anyway i'm really happy with the results. she said there were lots of little follicles there but no dominant one at this stage so O wont be for a while. not sure how long in advance they can tell this though.
will let u know how i go with BT.
bad news today. i have polycystic ovaries and so probably PCOS. had blood tests today. go back for results monday probably. or tuesday. booked in to see gyno tuesday week.
GP said the gyno would probably put me on metformin or clomid.
i cried and cried and cried. but now i'm feeling a bit better. its not the end of the world i know, but i was so excited to get pregnant soon, and now it will be harder than i thought.
Oh no, don't be upset Mitch83
There are PLENTY of ladies that have happy healthy babies with PCOS. I recommend you post in the PCOS threads to get some inspiration from other members there, you will be surprised.
Unfortunately, OPK's may not work for you though. Are you temping? I don't, but it may be a good idea. And when your on metformin/clomid you can join that thread, the ladies are great support.
so blood test came back normal. no insulin resistance or hormone problems. woo hooo!!
going to see a better gp (as i only went to a medical centre) and see what they suggest for me.
still temping but been waking up different times (started new job) so my chart lookes crazy. plus i missed a day. it'll be more regular now that i'm settling into my new job and new waking time.
opks worked for me last time i used them. been getting lots of negatives lately which is a bit sad but hopefully a positive is around the corner
