Blood tests

[Lilli79]

Hi all, so I've got the list of blood tests required for next (private) round. I've booked in at my GP for the usual ones but I'm wondering about the LSH/FH and Progesterone. They need to be done at certain times on my cycle and whilst I'm hoping my cycle will be back to regular I don't think I'll be able to get the blood tests done for these at the right time. I previously got bloods done at a hospital which was just a case of turning up (so didn't need to book an appointment) but I'm just wondering if I can get this done again, particularly for LH & FSH on Day 1-3. The receptionists at my GP practice don't have a clue which might mean I have to speak to GP again but last time I had to wait a week just for phone appointment! Do you think I can call the hospital, get them to confirm they can do it, then just ask my GP to refer me? Sorry I could get done in clinic but trying to save the pennies!!

Hi Lilli79. Your GP should be able to give you a form to go "wherever" on Day 2 or 3 of your next cycle, probably at your local hospital or clinic. Good luck. Diane
