I usually just lurk on this board, and not sure if anyone here other than Sarah even remembers me, but I've gotten back int charting the past few cycles (after a much needed break from temping!) and I got my CH's today! YAY! Our timing sucks, and we probably didn't catch it this time, but I ovulated earlier (only by a few days, but still earlier) than I have in over a year! I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy early this cycle which is why I had 9 days of bleeding and didn't start temping until day 13. Next cycle the RE wants to put me on Clomid and/or Femara and possibly progesterone too, because I've ovulated as late as CD 26 and it doesn't extend my LP at all. I still have a 30 - 32 day cycle regardless of when I O.

Sorry to ramble, but after 2 1/2 years this is cycle 30) I am so excited that things appear to be changing! It kind of feels like a fresh start thanks to my RE and the surgery, and I can't help but finally feel hopeful again!

I remember ya And don't count yourself out!! Your timing ROCKS!! It's absolutely perfect.

Your CM would indicate you Od a little earlier, which still gives great BD timing. I'll be stalking ya!! May I add your ticker to the stalking thread which is stickied here?

[MountainMomma]

Sure can. I'm actually wondering if maybe I O'ed on CD 17 (which makes more sense from CM and CP, plus I had O pains then) and just had a slow rise this time. IF that's the case, then I think my chances are much better.

Good luck

Hey Stephanie! Glad to have you back over here, but I hope it's not for long, if you know what I mean!

[MountainMomma]

Thanks. My temp did drop a bit today, but if I am right, and actually ovulated on CD 17 I would be at 6 dpo today instead of 4 dpo, so it could be a very good sign! I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I am also not going to stress out over one temp drop either. You know.....some people talk about lucky number 3.....Maybe I just needed to multiply that by 10. Maybe this is finally....LUCKY cycle 30!! LOL

I was thinking CD17 as well when I posted. KUP and we'll be stalking!

[MountainMomma]

It went back up! Please oh please let this be it!

[MountainMomma]

After recovering nicely yesterday, it dipped back down today. I got to thinking though.... last night I was in bed by 9:30, and I normally don't go to bed until closer to midnight. Could getting that much extra sleep have affected my temps? I mean...that's like 3 extra hours! I was just soooo exhausted that I couldn't stay up any longer. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I haven't ovulated before CD 20 in over a year, so I can't help but be excited! I think I'll test with a $ store test tomorrow just to feed the urge to POAS. I'm fully prepared for it to be a BFN, but I have had clear BFP's at 10 dpo, so it is possible that I *might* see something tomorrow. Dust would be appreciated!

I wouldn't have thought more sleep would affect it but I'm no expert! It is normal to fluctuate post O though.

Sending you

Thanks Fiona!

I won't be surprised it I wake up to a completely screwy chart tomorrow. Both of my kids are sick, my FIL is sick, 2 of the cousins are sick, and of course I was around all of them today. It just figures! I rarely ever get sick anymore, but when I do, it's ALWAYS in the 2ww!

Arghhh! How annoying! My temps used to do the whole up/down thing a lot in the 2WW.

I hope you don't get sick!

[MountainMomma]

I didn't get sick, but my temp went down more. I tested...not with FMU, but it was a stark white BFN. I'm sure I'm just waiting on AF now. Hopefully the RE has a brilliant plan with meds to help me next cycle.

Nice rise today Will keep my fingers crossed!
