CD3

CD3 is a pretty common term once you start down the infertility route.  It stands for Cycle Day 3.  It goes off of when your period starts.  The first day you have full bleeding is cycle day 1.  This means if your period starts on Monday, your CD3 is on Wednesday.  This is a common time for you to have bloodwork done.  At my clinic, I've had many CD3 blood draws.  I'm not a doctor and don't understand all they look for at this time, so you can do your own research as to why this is important if you're curious!

My CD3 fell on June 4th.  Perfect timing since my insurance just kicked in on June 1st!  I waste no time.  I called my clinic on the 2nd and they scheduled me to come in today.  My clinic does bloodwork and ultrasounds from 7-8:30 am.  This is so they can process the bloodwork and let you know your next steps by later in the afternoon.  I would think most clinics would have a similar process.

They called this afternoon and said everything looked great and I can start birth control tonight!
