Apparently I know nothing *warning huge vent and swearing *

I just got my day 21 (7dpo) blood test results back.

Progesterone was 27
Oestrogen was 564

With progesterone, they consider anything above 10 as meaning you have ovulated, but on clomid I have read a good reading is above 30. It is better than last cycle. Oestrogen was about the same as last cycle.

Last cycle:

Progesterone was 16.5
Oestrogen was 562

When I got pregnant with Tukka my day 21 results were:

Progesterone 50.9
Oestrogen 421

So who knows. I suspect that this means I am not pregnant this cycle although my progesterone is better than last cycle. It isn't as good as when I got pregnant with Tukka. The only difference is that Tukka's cycle results were done at Monash IVF and the other two were done at Gribbles pathology through my GP. I have read that there have been pregnancies with low progesterone that have survived, so there is still hope, but I think I just know that it isn't good.

But - and this is the best part. I got a 20 minute lecture on the menstrual cycle from my GP.

Did you know that usually women have a 28 day cycle?
He also said that sometimes women have a slightly longer cycle. Really? How fascinating.
And - You always Ovulate 14 days before your expected period.
To achieve pregnancy all you have to do is babydance days 11 and 13 and that's it!

Oh - all this time and I got it wrong. NOT!

I was so F'n angry. I was at work, so couldn't let loose on him, but I couldn't believe that after nearly 3.5 years of trying for a baby, that he would think that we just weren't "doing it" at the right time. What the F does he think I have been doing all this time? How dare he even sprout such crap that isn't even true. Yes a perfect cycle is 28 days and in a perfect cycle you would ovulate 14 days before your expected period. But I don't have a perfect cycle. I have PCOS! My cycles vary. Not only that, but my luteal phase varies. It is never 14 days! Never. It goes between 10 and 12 days. Once it was 13.

Does he think we just have no idea??? He is the one with no idea. After so long trying. After all I have read. After seeing specialist after specialist after specialist. After test after test after F'n test. After surgery to check my tubes, etc etc. Does he seriously think our "infertility" will be solved by just a basic understanding of how a perfect menstrual cycle is? By just "babydancing" on the right days? Is he serious?

I was the one who told him what blood tests I wanted done. I even told him the damn pathology codes. Does he not remember that?

It made me feel like he thought I was overreacting by asking for the day 21 tests. Like I should just be patient and F'n babydance on days 11 and 13 and it will just happen. He said it in that gentle little voice adults reserve for the complete idiot. I know he meant well, but I felt like a total fool.

I won't be going back there for my blood tests. I will go through Monash IVF instead from now on. It may cost me A$105 for them, but I don't care. At least they don't treat me like some hypocondriac dickwadd that doesn't understand basic fertility.

I am so angry. So hurt.

Not only were the results telling me that I am most likely not pregnant, but he was telling me that I know nothing.

Well screw you Mr GP. Believe me, I know my body a hell of a lot more than you do. F. I probably know more about fertility than you do if your stupid comments were any indication.

ok time to calm down. As you can tell by my mood, AF is surely on it's way.

I am pre-menstrual. Don't mess with me.
