that tests the quality of your eggs? Anyone ever have it done? If so, what is involved. If/when af arrives, I may ask my dr about doing the test. Any opinions?

TIA

Hi Shannon,

Do you mean FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) that you take on day 3 of your cycle?

I'm not sure what I mean!LOL

I've just heard other people talking about it. I have no idea what its called or what is done.

Is that what the FSH test is for?

Thanks for any info you can provide!

Hi Shannon,

I think the test you are talking about is a blood test for FSH and estradiol levels. Here's a good website with some information. I've also heard about the Clomiphene Challenge Test, but haven't done that myself.

Good luck!

Thanks Gwen!

I've had those tests before, I just didn't know all that info!!LOL

I was just trying to grasp at something. Oh well, I guess I can try to figure out some other reason why I'm not getting pg.

Thanks again for the info!

(((HUGS))) & Best of Luck to you!

I have heard of what you are talking about, a friend had her eggs tested

and found out she only had a 5% chance of getting pregnant but she

was within that 5% and had a healthy baby boy. I don't know the name

of the test but one does exist. Good Luck
