Question about progesterone test
1
Mon, 11-10-2008 - 11:31pm
Okay I know that the progesterone test is supposed to be 7dpo, but I was wondering what the "grace period" is. Can I go in 6 or 8dpo? Because my O seems to be either on cd16 or cd18, and I don't know whether I should go in for the test on cd23 or cd25. Or should I just compromise and go in on cd24 and hope for the best? I don't wanna screw up the test b/c I went in on the wrong day, kwim?
Any help would be great!

Hi!


I had mine done at CD21 (I was only 3/4 DPO) and came back +20. I have been told that CD21 is generally the best but anywa not later than 7 DPO as after (unles you are pregnant) the progesteron level goes back down and you wouldnt understand if you O'd. So if I were you I wouldnt wait. I wish you luck!!!!!
