Willow we all have everything crossed for you
I finally have news - my doctor called about my blood tests yesterday.. He spoke very quickly and I had a noisy DS in the background but here goes:
* Thyroid, liver, kidneys, blood count, electrolytes, diabetes, bone density/calcium, FSH, LSH, testosterone, prolactin, ESR, lipids - all normal (hope I haven't missed one but he did talk fast)
* Sex hormone-binding globulin - high - he said this was normally low and mine is high
* progesterone was low, I think he said 6.8. He said this test is normally done on the second half of the cycle but as we don't know where I am in the cycle it's difficult to conclude.
He feels this warrants further investigation and is sending me for an ultrasound. Once we have the ultrasound results he will ask a gynaecologist for their opinion on how we move forward. I asked how long and he said a couple of weeks.
And I am so happy to report I had slight spotting last night which has turned into AF today!! Probably breakthrough bleeding rather than from O but I will take what I can get...

I don't think my doctor knows what he is talking about but he has recommended an ultrasound and a gynaecologist opinion. I'm just glad something is happening. Hopefully the gynaecologist will know what they are talking about! I am not telling the doc about this AF as I want the ultrasound and expert opinion. I will tell them obviously. Dreaming, it's great that you are having regular tests, let's hope we all get our BFPs soon x
