^Not a problem. Maybe don't approach it w/ saying anything about PCOS. Just say something about you think your hormones aren't right and you don't think you're ovulating like you should. Ask for LH, FSH, testosterone, and thyroid. They're supposed to be done on day 3 of your cycle. Then, if your LH happens to come back elevated, maybe the doc. will take you seriously. If not, then hey...never hurts to check! P.S. here is a link to a thread I started re: where to buy OPK's and HPT's. cjlevett.proboards33.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=infertility&thread=1164082200&page=1

^Oh yah, Apple. To answer the question about when to take the hormone tests, here is a GREAT link to a page on fertility bloodwork! Shows you what the tests are for, the viable ranges, and when during the cycle they are supposed to be performed. www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hormonelevels.html

Great! Thanks so much both link are quite useful!! . I really appreciate you are taking the time to posting them. The second one about the fertility bloodwork (quite cool again) it says for Progesterone time to test 7 dpo?? Do you know what they mean by dpo? the paper work I got from y Dr says to get Progesterone tested on day 21, so I guess 7 dpo it will mean 7 days after ovulation? (based on day 14 as ovulation day). Also I called the clinic to ask for copy of my test and can use this table to check on results, hope they send the copy pretty soon. Thanks again ouchy!
