43 years old and ttc

March 13, 2008

I'v recently had some blood tests at CD 11 to check my fertility. I haven't called for the results because I'm not sure what any result will mean. What is being tested at this time? I can't find anyone else being tested at that time - normally only CD3 or CD 21?

i have no idea what they would test you for on day 11? Thats weird. Do you have a really longor short cycle?

March 13, 2008

No - 26/27 day. The doctor said that they used to check CD21 but recently he had attended a conference that said CD11 was best.

Can't find any info on this new thinking anywhere!

I'm going to go back tomorrow and ask for an explanation. Clock ticking far too loud not to understand what's happening!

Thank you for replying - first time I've ever posted a question.

Probably he wants to check ur progesterone on CD 11 prior to ovulation to see if its high that its blocking ur ovulation..Cant think of anything else?

yeah, thats weird cuz on day 11 your eggies are already growing but havnt ovulated yet so dont know what in the world they are checkin for! HopeN could be right but then wouldnt they check on day 21 aslo to see if she is ovulating? he is a doc so maybe he knows what he is doing - LOL!

Maybe a doc on here could shed some light on it????

Yes, I just have CD21 test and result is good. I am still ovulating normally even I am 49. I had one son 14 years old and now I am going for one more kid. I tried 12 years but did not happen. My doctoc think that I had IUD before, even already took it out but maybe tube infection . Now I have to see specialist to test my tube, but I don't think naturel will be my solution. I need help from IVF
