I am wondering if i should exclude this cycle from.TTC.I am.now not stressing over making sure we BD at the right, time now its all about what does this temp mean and did I wake up in the middle of the night and affect this temp, what consistancy is my Cm maybe its this or maybe it could be that, how much did taking provera help /hurt my cycle and o, if I haven't o'd yet and my cycles have been 28 days lately does this mean I didn't o or is my lp going to be really short or is this a long cycle ( I think u understand my point :-)).....agghhhh.... I am so used to the Dr watching everything and telling me what to do this is frustrating. Thank yiu :-)

Sorry you're so frustrated! I took a cycle 'off' a couple of months ago, and I thought it was great. It depends so much on our personalities - I know some girls feel more stressed if they are not tracking every detail, and there are some girls where the opposite is true. I guess it's just finding the balance that works for you! It can get very frustrating that's for sure!

After looking at your chart, it doesn't look like you ovulated. I'm sorry. It doesn't even look like you have a coverline or anything yet. I would just keep waiting and hopefully this just means you are having a long cycle. I know it can be so frustrating. I had a 90-day long cycle once. Did the provera cause you to have a period? Did your doctor also put you on Clomid? From your chart I can't really tell what is going on or why your doctor prescribed you the meds he did, but hopefully it will work. Sometimes it just takes a little longer. Good luck!!

She prescribed it on cd2 so it was supposed to make that period heavy and then should go back to normal. 7 months ago I miscarried and ever since my periods were sooo heavy so to try and help that she had me start the meds during the beginning of my cycle. Well that is this cycle so i don't know if i should just think that's why I haven't o'ed.yet.... Maybe? I guess instead of. D &c she gave me this. My lining was really really thick they said.

I'm sorry you're so frustrated! When we hit the about 2 year mark of TTC, I stopped temping, charting, tracking everything and just played it natural. It did WONDERS for me at that time. But then of course, I went back to the fun of charting But, I know that even one month off of tracking everything helped me a great deal.

Thank you :-) I guess just not knowing is the frustrating part. I was telling myself I would just stop but then how will i know how this cycle ends :-) you ladies are all so strong and helpful

I know exactly how you feel. This is my first cycle TTC and something happened and I didnt O when I was supposed to, instead I'm spotting. I have no clue why and it's driving me insane!

Looking at your chart no O yet, but your temp is pretty low so hopefully it's going to spike and you will have Oed tonight. Good luck, keep BD! You never know.

I don't think you've O'd yet and I googled taking Provera at the beginning of a cycle and didn't find 1 page that had information about taking it that early. Normally it's taken to bring on a period and will usually come 10 days after taking the last pill, but since you took it at the beginning of your cycle I'm not sure what it will do. I'd wait it out a bit longer as your temps have really dropped and that can happen pre O. Then depending on your doc and what she thinks is a long cycle if you hit that time period without AF I'd give her a call and see what she suggests.

Have you started taking baby aspirin?

Your temps are dropping nicely and you've charted some EWCM, so that's a good sign. Definitely keep BD'ing... I've O'd as late as CD 24 before, so it's possible it's getting ready.

I'm with you on the 'needing to know'. I've been temping, charting, checking CM, CP and every **** thing else every single day for 3 years now! I'm so looking forward to the day when I can pack my BBT because of my BFP.

But until then... I'd be without my daily temp!

You are great mothers, very glad to know you！

Sometimes it's good to take a break. TTC wears us all out and sometimes we need to focus on other things. Good luck!
