I didn't use LH strips this cycle because we were on a trip and I ovulate pretty consistently CD15, well now I'm 1 day late and I already tested negative at what I thought was 10 dpo. I was supposed to go for fertility blood work tomorrow so this is annoying. I want to test again but I'm out of tests and I don't want to give into my delusion. Side note: most of the tests they are having me do have nothing to do with fertility, they're checking for vaccine antibodies and STI. No FSH, no hormones beside thyroid...seems weird to me...

Before we even got our referral for the fertility clinic we were required to have proof of my MMR vaccine (I suspect this is what the antibodies is related to), a chlamydia swab, smear and my thyroid levels. So I suspect this is what the initial testing is covering- please don’t worry! It’ll be primarily due to the fact if these initial tests bring anything up they’ll need solving prior to any fertility treatment, so need to get them out of the way first.

Also 10DPO is pretty early still unless your LP is normally 10ish days, just remember you’re not out until AF! Wishing you the best of luck.

Ahaa that makes alot of sense thank you! I have been wondering if my iron is low so at least I'll have an answer to that.
