blood tests

July 23, 2008

ive had a blood tests today on the cd19,they are testing me for loads of different things like prolatin,fsh,progesterone,pco,and others how do they do this when i thought the progesterone had to be done on cd21,and the fsh on cd 3 can anyone help me out thanks

Yes Donna these need to be done on CD 3. But if u didnt have a true period for a while n the Drs dont know when to start, they may do it on a random date to know where u r in ur cycle.

But yes FSH need to be done on CD3 to determine ovarian reserve
