My temps are awfully close to my cover line this month.

I'm wondering if I should pull out my progesterone cream again...

[Miss. Impatient Bevis]

I would defiantly try it. It couldn’t hurt right.

[Coley]

That's kinda what I was thinking...

It's just so funny because when I got my cover line I remember being afraid, and I don't know why, that my body might have trouble keeping my temp that high.

My only concern was whether it would interfere with any tests they might do at my OB appt on Monday, ya know?

[CandaceDianne]

I would call you OB and see what their recommendation is.

[Admin-pattyandthemoos]

Hmm... my first thought was pull it out. But, I can see your reasons on waiting. If you wait then be demanding about running the tests because I would hate for you to have waited and then not have them run tests. Or option B, wait till Monday if they don't do any tests start using it the second you get out of your appt. I think it would still be early enough to help.

I take prometrium supplements when I am pregnant and I usually don't start taking them till I get my bfp.

[Coley]

I think I'm with you Patty. I will make sure that I get a progesterone draw done on Monday, unless she tells me that it's the wrong time of my cycle to have it done, ya know? Then I'll start it as soon as I get home.

I've never seen my temps struggle to stay above the cover line like this before. This is definitely another cycle full of things that are different. Two days of + OPKs now these temps... very curious.

[Lucy & Nathan's Mommy]

I agree with waiting until after your appt. Good Luck!

[Coley]

Thanks...

Who knows... maybe tomorrow morning my temps will surprise me and start going up properly.

[Coley]

I wonder if sitting by the fire in the living room at night and then going to sleep in the cooler bedroom is having anything to do with my temps being lower.

[forest]

My temps were really close to my cover line right after O on my last cycle. I'm wondering if it was part of the weather change too. Weird.

[Coley]

Oh yeah, I see that.

That was my original thought... that my body was adjusting to the change in seasons... and I'm on the East Coast, so we get all the seasons! LOL!

[TeresaSuperMama]

Under the circumstances I would wait. I think your chart still looks pretty good anyway. I hope your appt goes very well and can't wait to hear about it.

[Coley]

Thanks Teresa!!

[kiwigirl]

I agree. Maybe wait. Good luck!

[AngelM82]

Nikki, I am there with you... I am at a loss with these low temps and progesterone would make sense from everything I've read so far... Where do you get the cream?

Anyway, I finally called and made an appt today... They may not talk to me about much yet but at least they can try and help me regulate my cycles and maybe, just maybe, the rest will follow? lol

[Coley]

Angel - You can get natural progesterone cream online.

Here's the link for the one Danny bought for me... Shop On-line at The Natural Hormone Institute of America.

I'm kinda like you... not sure what the doc is gonna say or wanna do, because this is my first time going to talk about TTC.

[AngelM82]

How long have you been trying, Nikki? I'm sure I've read it already but couldn't remember.

So you appt is actually about TTC alone? I was nervous what to ask for and afraid they'd tell em no so I just said it was about my cycle length and possibly not O'ing... I figured once I get in there I would lay it all out there and make 'em feel sorry for me!

Good luck at yours!!!!

[Coley]

This is our 8th month of actively TTC. I know just about everyone else waits a year, but I'm also 35... so the rules kinda change a bit.

I told them that I needed my annual and that we had been TTC and not having any luck, so I wanted to get things checked out. They said "No problem" and set the appointment for me.

Basically, I'm gonna lay it all out for her and let her know that I feel the clock bearing down on me and I need to get this done. I mean, we are hoping to have two kids. Time keeps on tickin' and I don't have much to waste, ya know?

I hope it goes well. I hope she looks at my charts, I hope she understands them and I hope she's able to come up with a plan of action because it's enough already, ya know?

[AngelM82]

Well that is great that they're getting you in, you are absolutely right that you should be able to be seen. I would feel exactly how you do about it all and would demand to be seen. I thought I read somewhere that over a certain age they will look at fertility stuff if you've been trying for at least 6 months. And I definitely hope you see someone who will be able to understand your charts and go from there. Enough is enough already, I have high hopes that they will do something for you after this visit! Good Luck, I can't wait to hear how it goes!!
