This whole process..UGH..help

Month after month...so draining.

So today is CD 30 (13DPO) and I have been getting AF usually between 28-30 days since going off the pill in October. There was one month where AF came CD 33. Usually, starting at CD24 or 25, I get a redish/brownish light flow and then AF comes.

This month...nothing. No spotting, no light flow. I have had that pain in my side, period cramps, & the sorest boobs ever! I thought maybe this could be it...tested with a digital this morining and a BFN. ***??? I am so confused.

I have my normal 6 month Gyno appointment scheduled for August. Should I just try until then & peak to my doctor at that appointment?

I really want DH tested...can I do that without seeing my Gyno? I just want to make sure his 'guys' are good to go.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

My husband and I went to an RE before my gyn appt. I didn't want to wait anymore. The reproductive doctor said the first thing that they want to check is my husband's guys. She said that is the easiest thing to check. She also gave us advice and did an internal sono on me. I felt better seeing her then my gyn. I hope this helps... but you are not out yet..

I would go to CVS and get a FRER test. It may be that the hormones are too low in your body for the digital to pick up. The digitals are the least sensitive. Good Luck!

Re: This whole process..UGH..help

ITA with PPs. Get a regular test, like FRER and test with that since digital tests are much less sensitive.

Also, my DH was able to get his SA done through our regular doctor.

Best of luck!

I got a script for a SA from my regular OBGYN, but he can inquire about it from his regular dr as well
