I was hoping that I Oed yesterday but my temps just creeped up a bit today so I can't tell yet (and FF isn't letting me input anything right now). I HOPE to goodness that I Oed yesterday or that I will today. We BDed again last night....that is 3 DAYS IN A ROW. That is a whole heck of a lot for us and although it's fun, we'd like to be done for now!!!

Oh and I think I might have the beginnings of a UTI.

I know exactly what you mean. I just charted my temp today, and I gave myself the trigger injection saturday morning around 11am. So I know I released the egg between 11pm Saturday and 11am on Sunday. I stopped doing opk's because they never show anything when I am on clomid. I have an off timed temperature on CD 11 which is a dip. Pre O I am around 96.8 to 07, post O I am usually greater then 97.2 (typically 97.6) Today, my temp is 97.2. Argggh!

I think that 4 of us should be testing around the same day (babyblue, you, me, angela P). Exciting times

UTIs suck!! But.. 3 days in a row is a lot! I am kind of glad to feel like the pressure is off for a while and we don't HAVE to do it on any certain day right now.

This was my first month to temp, and I only made it about 13 days.. then I stopped. I need to get a basal thermometer.. but my temps were all over the place I think b/c of the clomid.. I will try again next month if I'm not pregnant.

Yeah for all of us testing at the same time! I am thinking I can start testing in a week- I will be 10DPO then!!

I think I read that there can be a lag sometimes between when you O and when your progesterone starts to make your temp rise. So maybe that's what's happening to both of us on the temps Steph.

All I know is there there will be NO sex today.

I was planning on testing around April 3.

I will can't test as early as 10 days because of the hcg injection. It takes atleast 10-11 days to get out of your system. I told myself that this time I wouldn't test until 13 DPO which is April 4th. I could maybe test on April 2nd. That was my mother's birthday. Maybe she will send me a present from heaven.

Shannon, I think I should have sex one more time tonight for good measure. All though I think that my egg is already over the viable period. UTI, start drinking plain cranberry juice. Lots of it and water to flush your system. I hate UTI's. I never had one until I became a nurse.

Yucky, UTI's are the WORST!!! Lot's of cranberry juice and water. Take care, hope you see your BFP soon!!!

[keekopeeko]

3 days in a row can be a lot of work when you are TTC... Good luck! i cant wait to see your BFP!

[Melanie0507]

Here's some higher line dust for you Shannon!!! I hope your temps skyrocket, you get CH's, and then a beautiful BFP when you test!

[victorialv]

You are a champ girl!! Wow, I am impressed, 3 days in a row.....no wonder you have a UTI!! I have a suggestion for that too - have you tried AZO? It is super concentrated cranberry extract, you can buy it in the grocery store, and it starts working in a matter of minutes/hours. It always works for me almost immediately.

I hope this is your month sweetie. I will be rooting for you!!

[ShannonMVT]

I may have to try the AZO. I hate to drink too much cranberry juice, it's so acidic and I know if your CM is too acidic it can kill the sperm.
I have been chugging water since I don't have any cranberry juice anyway, and it seems like things are more back to normal and hopefully they stay that way!

I doubt the 3 days in a row would have happened if it had not been a long weekend. But hopefully it will all pay off with a BFP!

Thanks for the well wishes ladies.

shannon, I had my temp spike this morning... how about you?

[ShannonMVT]

Whoo hoo! Glad you had your temp spike!

Click on my stork ticker, mine went up quite a bit today too. The only thing I'm not sure about is why I had that bunch of high-ish temps earlier this month.
