Hi! I am NOT asking for a diagnosis, or anything on this. Just trying to learn how to track my menstrual cycle and figure out what phase I am in and when. Had questions about the recent hormonal bloodwork I had drawn, so I posted here, hoping someone would reply and help out. Question: How do dr's figure out, when hormonal bloodwork is drawn, in which phase the woman was in when she had it drawn? Specifically for tests that allow for follicular, mid-cycle, and luteal phases. Is it crucial to know when ovulation occurs to come up with this information? And, what are the symptoms of ovulation, if any? I have been told that some experience a sharp pain in the ovary area, while some others also experience a thick, white vaginal discharge. Correct me if I am wrong on this one. I am trying to learn how to do this, as I said. I want to know my cycles well enough to be able to best tell at what point I am in. The only way to learn is to ask questions. So, that's what I am doing. Sorry for being so persistent, but I do not understand this all that well, and want to learn. Any replies will be greatly appreciated!! Thank You!! Cheryl :o)
