Varying O Dates

MamaAnna · #1 June 6th, 2008, 07:49 AM

I usually have a 33 day cycle on average with an LP of about 14 days, give or take a day. Now here I am, CD 22, and I still haven't O'd yet. My temp isn't going outside of the norm and has actually been steady for the most part. I had a higher temp yesterday and thought FINALLY! Then today it was down within the norm again. Argh! I'm not under any stress, it's actually been very easy going lately. DD is graduating Pre-K next week, we both had our birthdays, we went to the zoo, etc. We've been really good about staying relaxed lately. I have had longer cycles, but now I'm starting to wonder if they're annovulatory. We BD'd on what should have been the right days and now with DH's schedule we're just too tired to keep that up.

What I'm wondering is what a normal variance is and when you need to worry. I read something once that if you hit CD 40 a cycle is considered probably annovulatory unless you have something to prove otherwise. Do you think my O date insanity could be what's costing us our BFP?

I'm not really sure. I know I always o'd a few days different each month. I hope you o soon. G/L

I looked at your charts - it looks like this cycle is alot like your March cycle. I would wait a few more days and see if your temp goes up.

Has your CM been fertile??

Your temp did go up & down quite a lot during the follicular phase. That could be a hormonal thing or something else. Your temp did go up yesterday & while it went down today, it wasn't an awful lot. I'd bet you that if it was around the same tomorrow, FF would draw your CHs & show you O'd. I hope you'll have a higher temp tomorrow to put your mind at ease though. Good luck!!

Forgot to add: Have you tried OPKs? That could help give you an idea of whether or not you're getting close to Oing or not.

I had watery CM which is the best I usually get on CDs 15-18 and again on CD 20. I haven't been using OPKs because I usually stress out about them for some weird reason. We've put everything we can into DD's birthday or I would've gone ahead and bought some yesterday. I think next cycle though I'll go back to using them. I have dealt with a hormonal imbalance since puberty that they tried to correct at one point with Yaz. Big mistake! It made everything 100x worse. They never did any tests though to see what the precise problem is.
