Day 21 Blood Test
Hi Ladies
Well tomorrow I go to have my Day 21 blood test to see if my progesterone levels have risen since I have been on the clomid. I also wondered if they would be able to see if we have conceived already and whether it is worth asking the nurse when I see her if they could test for this as well. ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sarah

The 21 day test only measures Progesterone which should have peaked if you have ovulated. The only way they would be able to tell if we've conceived is if they do a hcg level, which they most likely wouldn't do this early on as it's not likely to be up yet.
Hope this helps. Wouldn't it save so much agony every month if we could POAS the day after ovulation and get a reliable YES/NO!!! ?
Thanks for all your replies. I am just too impatient and keen to know if the clomid has worked first time. Oh well, back to waiting for 1 more week. hopefully it will fly by.
Fingers crossed that we get our BFP's soon.

When I had my 21 day bloods done I did actually conceive that cycle. They couldn't tell if I was pregnant at the time (and didn't think I would be). So sorry, they won't be able to pick it up. I also didn't get a BFP until 14 days after the blood were taken. We sadly lost our bean at 9wks though. Fingers crossed that you get your BFP soon.

Thanks for your message and sorry for your loss.
Fingers crossed for a BFP, I will try and hold out until testing next Tuesday 3rd March!

I have been feeling quite queasy today since I had my breakfast and not sure if it is just wishful thinking.
Will try to hold off until Tuesday 3rd March to test.

Anything over 30 means ovulation has taken place.
Not sure of a BFP, have been having spotting and a dull achey pain so decided to POAS on CD 24 and it was a BFN. Will now try and hold out until next Tuesday as think it may have been too early to show.
