Question about my cycle and cd 3 blood work

brandimomof2 · #1 May 3rd, 2010, 08:26 AM

I started spotting on sat and sun I had some to. I have nothing today. I am on 13 dpo right now. I am pretty sure I dont count cd 1 till I have a full flow right? I am suppose to call the Dr on the first day of af but havent really considered the spotting the first day. What do you guys think? Should I just wait till I see a full flow to call them?

Thanks

My Dr told me.. CD3 was to be counted after you had a full flow day... Spotting didn't count. And than some people... even break it down that they don't call it CD1 if the start bleeding after 5pm... that would be the next day of CD1... I didn't go that far.. Good Luck!!!

Sorry I don't have an answer for you hun. But was curious and hope you don't mind me asking. What is CD3 Bloodwork? What tests does it consist of and what does it test for? I have only had one loss, but have been having problems getting AF. Is it to check your hormone levels? Would it shed some light on if my problems with no AF is hormonal?

CD3 blood-work checks your FSH, Estrogen, and Progesterone levels. It can tell your estimated egg reserves through FSH as well as your other girly hormones.
