Starting to wonder

Ash · #1 September 19th, 2009, 08:41 AM

I am really starting to wonder if I am going to O at all the cycle. This is getting so frustrating it is unreal. My body is giving me major mixed signals but i am sure I haven't O'd yet. My fm strips seem to be going the opposite direction as far as progression as they normally do. Ugh! CD like 33 or something and still no sign of O!! Grrrrr

did you get a high again on your monitor? what do the monitor's sticks look like, are they getting darker? (the monitors sticks work just like opks) - did you change anything this cycle? clomid? maca? when i tried a cycle using maca powder, it delayed my O for over a week.

ugh, how annoying! I hope it happens soon!

Lynda, I did get another high. My first line is really dark and the second line is practically nonexistent. A couple of days ago the second line was lighter. That's what has me stressed.

I'm so sorry.

I really hope you O soon!

ok i'm just trying to help here, but do you test with opks too? i use both cause sometimes i get my surge in the early afternoon and it is gone by the next morning. so i would never know if i didn't cross test with opks. is there any chance you could have missed it if you didn't use opks? have you been BDing? what CD do you normally O on? i know lots of questions, sorry!!!!

After 3 days of high readings, I'll bet you get a peak tomorrow (or Monday at the latest). Hang in there. We all know how frustrating it can be!

I don't test with OPKs also. I did the first cycle that I used the FM, but haven't since. I don't "feel" like I have gotten my surge because my body is pretty predictable with other signs. That's why I am so confused. We have been BDing, but I was kind of waiting these last couple of days for a peak because we try not to do it for days and days on end. Off of Clomid, I O somewhere from CD 20-28, so I am still in that window.

Ok, here's the deal though...I do not have EWCM anymore. I had two days of NO CM at all and now creamy. That is typical for me in the TWW. However, I am still getting a high on my FM and none of my other body signs make me think that I O'd. I am really wondering if this is an anovulatory cycle.

your fertility monitor will continue to read high, once it picks up a high. it's not horribly scientific... once it picks up a high, it will continue to register a high until it gets a peak, you stop testing and let the cycle run out, or you push the "m" button. I have experimented with that machine many times to figure it out. I took a stick that registered Peak and after having two peak readings on the monitor, i used the same peak stick 3dpo and it registered high. so once it picks up readings it goes on autodrive. i also tested while i was still on clomid and it gave me a high reading forever - even with sticks i knew were low... i tested too early after the clomid and it picked up a false high, then it just kept giving me high readings till the peak came. so it is possible the monitor missed it.

BUT now you said your body signals were off, so that throws me off. do you temp? i always temp till i get 3 raised temps. then i usually stop. keep us posted on you hun!!
