Yesssss - fern I was stalking your charts just before you took them out of your siggy. I suspected you had a temp shift last month after surgery which ff didn't pick up and that this months temp was rising. Didn't want to get your hopes up if they didn't stay high. So so glad you have crosshairs. Fx'd hun xx

 

[Fern81]

Lol K4th you are just as much a chart stalker as I am. I keep trying to get everyone to add their charts to their signatures. (HINT, HINT!)

Here is a link to this month's strangeness:

My Ovulation Chart

Feel free to take a look. Looks weird to me. BTW I added in EWCM on CD15 but there was just a little in the morning; it dried up very quickly after that. And one teeny tiny spot of blood in that CM. What will be, will be

 

[k4th]

I love a good look at a chart fern!! I'd say your chart is right based on your symptoms. If you had a little ewcm that morning, plus a little blood, I'd say you ov'd that morning! And as your temps were much lower this month after your lap, but have now gone pretty high - I'm hoping you have excellent progesterone.

Now I'll go back to "normal" stalking

Hi Fern! That's great that you ovulated! My fingers are crossed for you!
We haven't gone on vacation, yet. We might not though. We really want to but are nervous to spend money when we might have to start spending our savings on iui. Just found out we would have to do an additional semen analysis that will cost a few hundred.
Just waiting to ovulate again! Currently cd11, so 7 days to go!
Pumped hubby full of vitamins that are supposed to help his swimmers, and I'm tracking my nutrition and trying to be more active.

Just popping in to say Hi! Watching you ladies.

Hi everyone

Thanks for asking how I'm doing.

I'm feeling pretty confused to be honest. Temp did a little drop yesterday but still way above cover line, and stayed about the same today. No BFP for me yet, but also no spotting or other signs of AF (I think I read a little too much into those cramps the other evening!)

17Dpo now, going to wait a few days and see what happens, and test if AF still hasn't shown. Keeping positive until I'm confirmed out!

Fern - I've got my fx for you! You've had a hell of a time recently, hope you get your (surprise) BFP this month!

 

[lace&pearls]

Aro - ohhhh that's interesting PMA!

Girly hope you got on OK at the doctor's.

Thanks Pinkee hope you are getting on ok! x

Fern - glad to hear that it looks like you may have ovulated that's great! I see what you mean about the relief of not trying so hard. I think that's how I will hopefully feel in the months to come. At least this way your tww won't seem as long as normal

I think I will probably cancel my HSG tbh. I was thinking the same - get it out of the way - but I think I would really regret it if I ovulated, missed the chance as can't DTD before the procedure and then after this month my cycles went all doo-lally again, my cycles were anywhere from 27 - 60 days before so I don't know if I was ovulating or anything. (This is an improvement on when I was ttc DD though as I had absolutely no periods at all for 10 months, until I was put on provera) I prob won't cancel it just yet just incase it turns out I don't O or something...

Hope everyone is ok! x

 

[Fern81]

Pinkee - nice to hear from you and from your ticker I'm assuming all is well!

Lace&pearls - that actually sounds like a great idea. Keeping your options open. Hope you do ovulate and catch it so that you don't even have to go for the horrid hsg

K4th - I don't think my progesterone levels are that high. Haven't had ANY progesterone symptoms the past 2 cycles with these low temps. But to be honest the more I think about it, the more I don't mind a bfn for a few months yet... Sept-Nov are my busiest months at work since it is year-end exams. Seeing as I work for myself I won't be getting any maternity leave/pay during that time if I don't work, and that time is when I earn the most money; money that is supposed to carry me financially through the quiet months (Dec and Jan). DH's salary is not enough to carry both of us. TBH after this cycle I think I will actively prevent during Feb and March, and then start up the clomid again in April. (That also figured into our plan on taking a break). So all in all a bfn now will NOT be too heartbreaking! Sept is the last month that I would plan to have a baby... but having a Dec or next year Jan baby would actually be perfect.

Arohanui - Ohhhhhhh I'm chewing my nails with anticipation for your sake! Really really hope this is your bfp!!!

Timetotry - are you using opk's? I know a lot of ladies ovulate the same time each month even on clomid but my cycles have been all over the place. From 28ish to 35 and longer (all on clomid)! So I don't want to see you miss a bd day like I did last year when I had an unexpected ovulation during the "wrong" time of my cycle! That happened to be the ONLY time in the month when we didn't bd for a couple of days since my DH's best friend had passed away and we just weren't in the mood; also happened to be a textbook perfect O with progesterone of over 100..... Also, I think I have asked you before but I'm curious: which country are you from? Just because you said you wanted to go to the beach for holiday so I'm wondering if you are a fellow Southern Hemisphere girl

[Liovec]

First cycle of clomid day 3 have all the charming side effects please tell me this is a good sign?? Ttc 18 months pcos x

 

[Timetotry]

Fern- yes I use opks, last 2 cycles I got positives on day 17 and had ov pains on day 18, changes in cm on day 19. I stopped temping since I don't get up the same time every day (shift work).
Unfortunately I'm not in the southern hemisphere. I wish though! I'm in Canada. 'enjoying' a pile of snow today. I'm a beach girl though, love the sun and water. Usually quite a trek to get to the ocean!

Liovec - what side effects are you having?

 

[Arohanui]

A little update - I'm out Woke up to a real drop in BBT and spotting, then AF arrived a few hours ago. Her arrival coincided with yet ANOTHER pregnancy announcement from a close friend. That makes six very close friends and family members all due in June or July. I'm really gutted today.

Aw I'm so sorry Arohanui.
Announcements are so painful, especially at the same time as AF.

Do you have more clomid cycles planned?

 

[Arohanui]

Thanks Timetotry.

I have one more clomid cycle left to try, and I have an appointment with my specialist in Feb to find out what we're moving on to next. I'm just feeling fed up and sorry for myself today!

I'm so sorry ! You have every right to feel sorry for yourself and you are WELCOME to rant or vent here!!

I know this probably won't make you feel better but at least you had a great lp. Hope that helps you get your bfp soon!

hot flushes headache bad dreams fatique and can't sleep at night it sucks! X

 

[jaybee927]

Liovec- I just noticed about your symptoms with the hot flashes and not being able to sleep! Last night I took my first dose of clomid 50mg and I woke up with a really bad hot flash and was sweating so much! I also had nightmares the whole night about having even worse symptoms and I was not able to stay asleep and I couldn't tell if it was reality or just a dream! When I woke up this morning I feel okay just tired no more hot flashes.

Yes! I was searching everywhere to see if this was a common side effect!! I took my dose last night at 10pm because I was a little nervous. My OB told me to take it before bedtime because it causes headaches. What time do you take yours? I almost just want to go home after work and take a nap! And I am trying not to have any caffeine so it is really hard to be at work

Sorry just seen u take yours in the evening perhaps that's why the hot flushes are happening in the evening maybe we should try morning although are you allowed to change the times u take them? X
