Will a clinic do a blood test?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

As you can see my chart is a hot mess.  If I don't get a positive HPT result by Friday I want to go in and get a blood test.  Do any of you ladies know how one goes about doing this?

Opinions on my chart/whether I didn't O yet or need to cool my jets are welcome.

    How long ago did you get off of BC?

    The general "rule of thumb" is test once/week until you hit CD 60, get a + HPT, or start your period.  SO I guess I'm leaning towards "cool your jets"

    I agree - if you are not getting + HPT's, it's unlikely that a blood test will come up positive. Possible, but unlikely. Being that this is your second month off BC, I would hold off and keep testing, like PP said, once per week.

    From your chart, I am not totally convinced that you ovulated yet. You do have a temp rise, but a 19 day LP is a little long without a + test.

     I agree - it's a long time - and if O hasn't happened yet then its fine by me because then we still have a chance!

    True or false  - you would not have creamy CM while ovulating.

    False.  You can have any type of CM at various points in your cycle.  With it only being month two off of BC I would not call your DR until you've hit CD 60

    Ok - jets are cooled.  I really appreciate your honest advice ladies.

    Yes 

    Don't jump the gun quite yet.  I would wait it out a little longer.

    :(

    I feel for ya. I'm gonna call my gyno if I don't get my period by the end of the week. I think I'll test on Thurs if my temps are still up.

    I have a feeling my period is going to start tomorrow. No symptoms...just a 'feeling'. Yes, I'm uber lame.

    GL!

    I just tried with a non-IC - negative.  I went running to try and start my period.  H is all convinced now that I'm KU - telling me doctor like things that I don't need to hear.

    Let's keep each other updated.

    Sounds good. MH switches from me being KU to this being a fluke...he can't make up his mind lol. I feel bad b/c I don't want him to get his hopes up. I'm feeling more crampy today, so I'm 99% sure I'll wake up with AF tomorrow. Err...I just want this to end one way or another.

    Not that I'm glad you're going through this, but I'm glad I'm not alone.

    FX for you, girl. I hope this ends well for ya!
