OK, so I have been VERY good and not thought about my cycle TOO much (I've even struggled to remember what dpo I am at) but this morning I thought I'd do an odd temp check.

1ed85b Ovulation Charts

Still not sure if I ovulated CD12 as shown or if stress delayed it, despite what FF says, because the CD13-CD14 temps were not that raised and if I hadn't had the CD12 dip probably FF would have said CD14.....but, anyhoo.....think things are looking pretty good right now (famous last words! )

I was surprised to see I was upto 8dpo already! My boobs have been properly sore since Sun/Mon and I just need to get to saturday to have an OK luteal phase or Monday for even better (and to gurantee that if I DID ovulate CD14 not 12 it would still be a min 10day LP)

Anyhoo, all's good on the symptom front (as in none) and I'm not looking too hard anyways, but no cramping yet.

Well thats me....so where in your cycles are you and how are you all feeling about your cycles?

Your chart looks good! I hope maybe you get a very pleasant surprise very soon!

I am on CD25 and 11dpo not feeling it at all. I would love to be optimistic and say that my BFP is just a day or two away, but I think AF will be joining us for Thanksgiving dinner. My hope now is just that I get my BFP BEFORE I get to the 4th anniversary of TTC in March.

I don't know about surprises, I just would be happy to have a correct length LP on a non-medicated cycle! That would be amazing!

[BornAgainRenee]

Wow Jo, your chart is looking pretty good! I hope that you get a good LP this time. Maybe things are starting to even out in your system. That would be nice if it just took care of itself huh!

[Mommy2Dakota]

It would mean admitting the docs were right the whole time... or I could put it down to not-over-thinking so much this cycle (thanks to you ladies and dieting giving me a new focus) or to drinking more water and eating less sugar? Who knows eh? But I guess I'm not 'there' yet so shouldn't really be talking like this!
But I do feel positive in the respect that I don't FEEL like AF is around the corner?

CD 4 here. Feelings not good since we're NT/NP right now till we meet with the RE. BTW, my appt is the 7th & right now the 7th is my predicted O.

[Mommy2Dakota]

Oh? What does that mean Amanda? Do you have Clomid to take next cycle too or do you have to get it from the RE?



Hmmm, btw, just wondering whether to temp tomorrow or keep having faith and waiting? Getting nervous now!

Oh, did you not hear? http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f5...-x-posted.html You didn't reply to the thread & I did think that was a bit curious but I figured you just got too busy or something. Basically last cycle was my last cycle of Clomid... my progesterone went the wrong direction & my OB won't prescribe me anymore. BUT... he did refer me to a specialist, a Reproductive Endocrinologist which I'll see for the first time on Dec 7th so we're not trying/not preventing till we know what the RE thinks. I'm not sure what's in store for me but my honest feelings is that I'm on the verge of doing injectables which I've always felt like I was going to end up doing. My emotions were all over the place in the beginning... I was scared to death b/c I've heard that injectables can get pricey but I think I have got a handle on all that now... praise the Lord. God will provide & He did promise me a child so I'm waiting & having faith.

Just me but I'd wait!

I remember seeing the title to that now! Was working my way to it through other toopics but guess got distracted or missed it! Sorry!

I still can't believe you weren't given progesterone AS WELL AS the Clomid

I know the basic theory is low progesterone means you didn't ovulate or it was ' a weak egg' - well, thats what my doc tried telling me ....but (as you know) I've found articles that say yes that can be the case OR you CAN ovulate normal but the corpus lutem doesn't produce enough progesterone (ie the fault is after ovulation and not with the egg itself) and therefore some progesterone treatment is all you would need. grrr!

Anyhoo, I know we have little say in what our docs believe and prescibe! maybe the RE will do a more pinpointed search into where exactly you need 'fixing'.... They do seem to throw Clomid at any fertility problems first then ask questions later!

Sorry you are going through this still. At least the Lord is giving you great comfort and your time WILL come.

[Mommy2Dakota]

Well, totally took me by surprise...started spotting! I feel really sad now. Its still early (11am) so its very likely to turn to full flow my this evening and that puts my LP at 9 days (or 7 if CD14 was O day) both of which are in my normal range. Soooo sure i was gonna get a 10 dayer at last!

And worse....means I can't go swimming as planned this afternoon.

feel like rubbish now. Even my cycle length is gonna be 21days - shortest ever!



My boobs are still sore though? Bit weird? Shouldn't they have stopped now?

[Mommy2Dakota]

Thanks Amanda...*deep breathe* at least I should have my maca root to try next cycle!
