Went to the GP today, she told me I need to wait another 2-3 months before a referral to FA but that's what I expected, got all the blood test forms and everything else,
She had a hard time understanding my irregular cycles though and didn't quite understand BBT charting, asking me how I knew I was actually ovulating, and couldn't quite understand how I knew when to expect my period just based on charting, but at the end of the day she is just a GP,
Do you have to have Day 21 bloods in the same cycle as the day 2 bloods? because technically today I am 8DPO which on a "normal" persons cycle would be about CD22 so the right time to check progesterone levels.

A specialist would definitely be able to tell you more KP06 about your cycles. I don't think you have to have the blood tests on the same cycle. Its up to you. Also if you really want to see a specialist earlier, you can phone and make an appointment. We never had a referral for our first ever appointment and this time I just phoned and made another appointment - 5 years later. I was never told I had to have a referral, so hope that helps

You get your progesterone levels tested at 7dpo no matter how long your cycle is. day 21 blood are base of a 28 day cycle and not everyone has a 28 days cycle.

I think I might as well wait for the referral at this stage and just get all the usual tests done before I go there, I expect it's what FA would want done at the start anyway, GP said they would refer me in 2-3 months if still no luck. Hopefully I don't have to go that far and get a BFP before then.

Having such a shtty day today. Emotions all over the show. Tearful and sad and angry as a bull at other times for the stupidest littliest things. I don’t usually get bad PMS/cycle moods but man, all I wanna do is go home and drink some wine. Work is boring and I just ate too much red liquorice. Ahhh anyone else suffer from bad moods etc from time to time? I had a bit of bad news earlier in the week about my dad so could be manifesting today?!

Hoping to add to our family of 3 in 2017!!

Vitex is amazing! Completely fixed my cycle from 43 days to 28 days in just one month.

Oh Sarzy I really hope this is it for you. Have you had cramping before? and do you usually get spotting or cramping right before AF like you are experiencing now?

I've never ever had spotting before and don't usually get cramping either so I'm in new territory this month. Thanks so much, really trying hard not to get hopes up but so difficult when it's so different from normal.

Wow very intresting. Have you had cramping with the spotting? Do you have anything planned over the next few days to take your mind off of it Sarzy? I know it will be hard, but trying to stay sane is so important. I am a shocker for impatience. I couldn't sleep last cycle not knowing why on earth my af was so late and had all these random symptoms.

I wouldn't call it cramping, more like a bit uncomfortable, but nothing now. I've got a friend staying at the moment so that will hopefully keep me occupied for the next couple of days! Unless AF shows up of course :)
Yeah when my cycle was 43 days it was horrible!
