My doctor prescribed Nolvadex. Does it sway for girl?

you have probably realized this but doctors don't need to know everything. If they're giving you bad information that you aren't following because it's bad information (like telling you to take too high a dose of Femara) it's ok to keep that to yourself.

Next time just tell her you came on CD 9 or whatever day she says. Unless you've specifically told her the day your period starts she won't be able to know what cycle day it is.

I would seriously consider getting a new doctor because it is completely normal for women to ovulate different days after the Femara. If you stopped the Femara CD 7 there is no way you could have been about to ovulate by CD 9, and that would have been a useless and expensive visit.

They can't tell stuff like this from ultrasounds or blood tests.

I learned a lot of things from you, Atomic and I am following your advice. I didn't like the idea of taking Femara twice a day because you have never suggested that.
yes, she knows when my period started because I went to get femara on cd 2.
She was planning to give a trigger shot. I felt that she does that with all her patients

I've never heard of any doctor having people take it 2x a day.

Hopefully next month we can do things differently so she is out of the loop.

You MUST NOT start Duphaston until you have ovulated. Telling you to start Duphaston a certain day without even confirming you have ovulated is questionable medical advice. While some people can ovulate despite taking Duphaston, for others it will stop ovulation in its tracks because rising progesterone stops the development of an egg. The doctors who start Duphaston just "whenever" on CD 15 rather than 1-3 days past ovulation like most docs do, are banking on that you are just about to release the egg and so the process can't be stopped, but if they're wrong they can end up stopping O in its tracks.

She said if I get pregnant this cycle, Duphaston will prevent miscarriage. I will not take it and I will change this doctor. Unfortunately all doctors follow the same thing.

what should I do now?

she was very mad because I didn't listen to her so she refused to do the scan

I'm totally fine with you taking the Duphaston if you want, just be sure you wait till after ovulation to start it. Even though it hasn't been shown to help anyone get or stay pregnant, a lot of doctors do still use it and I don't think it hurts anything to try it if you want to. We just have to be sure to take it in a safe way and that is by starting it after ovulation.

How do I know if I ovulated? Last Friday, I got positive OPKS. Yesterday, I had some cramps, backache, and ewcm. Do you think that was ovulation?

[atomic sagebrush]

That would be my assumption, but the surefire way is to take a blood test - is that possible?

What is the name of this blood test? so I ask directly for it

Serum progesterone level. You should see a higher number if you have ovulated.

and don't worry about not starting the Duphaston soon enough. Healthy pregnancies should make enough progesterone on their own without the Duphaston.

Great
I am not going to take Duphaston until I get the test or a scan may be next cycle
Thank you so much
