Grrr... (doctor's office vent)

So I posted yesterday about CD 21 progesterone testing for luteal phase deficiency, and you ladies said you also were under the impression that this should be done 7 DPO, not necessarily ON CD 21.

Doctor's nurse just called back and said doctor wants it done today (CD 21) because regardless of how long my cycles are, I "should ovulate around day 14 or 15." WHAT?! I've been charting for three years now and have NEVER O'd that early.

They ordered the labwork, but I don't want to have it done if it's going to tell me nothing. I hate to second-guess the doc, but should I ask for a second opinion? This is a regular OB, not an RE. WWYD?

?

BTW- Still haven't O'd yet this cycle.?

I would do the test and when the results come in tell them what day you typically O, etc. I have found that the nurses often don't trust our charting. The idea that someone knows what their body is doing is not something they readily accept b/c they meet so many people that don't have a clue. Sorry you have to deal with the hassle but I would probably follow their advise and go from there.

If you do it prior to ovulation, all it will tell you is "you haven't' ovulated."  I might shop for a new OB if I were you.

I wouldn't waste the money.  All it's going to tell you is that you haven't ovulated.  I would find a new OB.

Thanks ladies! I think I will be shopping. I was already headed that direction due to some issues after my MC with this office.
