(that's apparantly what they do, they rest and build up strength in the fallopian tube while waiting for the egg, the wonder of mother nature!!!!) I would explain to the donor how you chart looks and continue with the OPK's if you can. Maybe if you don't want to put the donor out, get a donation every other day til your temps confirm ov, with your fertile cm, I'd think this would still have you covered. Having said that, if you explain to him, he may just understand and be willing to donate until OV is confirmed. GL, hope you OV soon and heaps of 
to you 
I am ridiculous. Every little twinge near my uterus, cramps, gas, or whatnot, I think "Is that implantation?" I tell myself, "Breathe Deep. It will happen when it happens." My breasts are sore and I can't remember them being sore for this length of time before AF, but I also don't remember them being sore in the first few weeks of my last pregnancy. I should have kept a pregnancy journal. I do remember them being very sore (it even hurt to take my bra off) during the first trimester. I'd like to say I'm just more in-tune to my body but I am pretty sure all of my "symptoms" are only felt because I want this so badly.
I never got a positive OPK this month even though I took the Clomid. I did get EWCM and my cervix was open. The likelihood that I am pregnant is slim to none. We decided to go ahead and insem this month on the slight chance that something actually did happen. We chalked it up to "practice" for both us and our donor who is shipping from Ohio. I figured it was best for all of us to have a nice practice round even if the chances are pretty low.
Speaking of shipping, it was only $34 for overnight shipping. That made my day. I was expecting no less than $60. We just have to keep him supplied with TYB and I feel we can keep inseminating until, a.) We give up or b.) he wants to stop.
Regarding not ovulating, I started using progesterone cream. I have read loads about it. When my OB calls to talk about my cd21 day progesterone test, which I am taking on day 23 (tomorrow), I hope to discuss this too. I don't think I O'd (if I did at all) until day cd18 anyway which means that checking my progesterone on day cd21 would not be accurate. Right?
The TWW sucks.

I don't have an answer for you, but I feel your pain! I'm not even positive I'm ov'ing. I think my body is betraying me! And while I'm not having to ship it seems even more difficult to ask him to keep coming over to my house! Gosh I hope this will be our month. I start AI a week from Monday.
As for symptom spotting... STOP! It will make you batty. The same hormones that give you preg symptoms are the same ones that give you PMS symptoms. There's nothing that is sure fire early symptom, so don't get too worked up about it. I know that's easier said than done. I am guilty of all these things because we both have so much at stake during this process. Just try to take it easy and one day at a time.
I know one thing... the one time I didn't try to get preg was the only time I got pregnant. I was having fun and being care-free. I think this plays a huge roll in that sperm catching the egg. Just go with the flow to try to avoid aunt flo... that's how I think about it.
For the rest of it, it sounds like you have it all worked out, except the testing part. That I have no idea. I'm almost to the point of going to the Dr. to try to figure out my endocrine issues. I'm just gonna keep praying for a miracle until then.
FX for you!!
Mama is no fun when she is crabby. 
only have to live in the TYB for 12 hours! I had all the tests and my progesterone is very low:5.58ng/mL at cd21. What trigger my realization of this and prompted me to talk to my OB was that my CBFM never gave me a peak reading. I was testing for 20 days and had only high readings for most of that time. It was weird. Since then, I've had a bunch of blood work and two vaginal ultrasounds. There was a cyst on my right ovary but it is now gone. I started Clomid with this cycle. I still only had high readings on the monitor but I started checking my cervix and CM daily. I wasn't doing this before. I started temping this month too. If I only went by my body signals and temp, I would swear I ovulated around cd 18 but the monitor says otherwise.
Maybe you'll get lucky and you actually did!
Jury, I see you've had a temp rise so you should get your crosshairs soon
Ticking, when I come into the thread, a post from you is the first thing I see and i saw your ticker, happy 1 month Aubree
My 4d scan is on Wednesday and I am ever so slightly excited
