I need some advice. My chart doesn't seem to know when i ovulated. Fertility Awareness Method says CD10, but Advanced Method says CD12. I was super excited thinking I had an implantation dip a few days ago when my temp went back up yesterday, but now it's down again. If I O'd on CD10, then i'm 13dpo day. If I O'd on CD12, then I'm 11DPO. I don't know what to think at this point.

 

[stuckinoki]

I think you od on the 12th Hun. I agree with ff

 

[brittany12]

thanks ladies! I noticed that a few days ago! Hope that means something special will come out of it for me! Although, I dont think it will since I dont think i've ovulated yet!

popchick I still say you ovulated on cd12

 

[brittany12]

ok just looked at my chart again and i believe like yall said the flu shot had something to do with that huge temp spike i had earlier in my cycle so i disregarded it and it moved my coverline down to 98.1 which is much more normal and still says i ovulated on cd21 which isn't unusual.. i still have two temps below coverline, but i'm just going to hope it means there is a bean getting nice and snug! I am going to stay positive because if you believe it wont then it wont, but if you really truely believe it will then you have no other choice but to except that it will! so positive thinking ladies! I'm still early so hopefully in the next few days i'll start to get a positive

Has anyone else tested?

 

[~Brandy~]

Today was my testing day... BFN but no AF yet

 

[bella21]

sorry brandy...hopefully AF stays away and its just a shy little bean!

 

[rain31]

I m 4 days late with BFN ( tested with HPT 25 miu ) ! Whatever AF signs were there have all gone . What happend to my regular AF cycle ? Why is it playing hide nd seek with me ??

If AF has to start it shud start , I can have a peaceful mind knowing that I have to gear up for the nxt month !

 

[stuckinoki]

Rain, your chart is out of date!! I just glanced at it and thought, that your were only cd19!!!

Sorry about your bfn though

This is off topic, but, DH has been walking the dogs in the woods and even though they've got flea and tick on, Sticks still came home with a tick.

I tried hot matches, alcohol and tweezers and all I manage to do was squish out the ticks innards and then break the body off the head

The was is still buried in her.

Help, how do I get it out.

 

[bazzb]

I think there is a flea and tick shampoo that you can use? but im not 100%

 

[brittany12]

im not sure stucki, but i think you can clean it with peroxide and then put neosporin (not sure how to spell that) on it to make sure it doesn't get infected, but not sure what else you could do

 

[popchick75]

Clean the area with rubbing alcohol and then leave it alone....it will heal by itself. If you want to speed up the healing process put a little vitamin E (pop a vit E pill) on it.

I have a question I'm hoping some of you can answer.

It seems like my temps stay high until about 8dpo and then drop pretty low. Do you think this could mean a problem with low progesterone? When i was pg with dd way back when I had low progesterone and had to take pill during the first few months. When I asked the RE if he thought I should be taking progesterone during my lp because of this, he said 'you got pregnant before you started taking the extra progesterone so you should be fine.' I was never a fan of that answer...yes, i did get pregnant, but how do you know i didn't have low progesterone at that time also?

 

[brittany12]

Have you had your levels tested?

 

[popchick75]

Yes, but it has been quite a while ago. I talked to my regular obgyn last week when i was there and he said that he would do blood tests and ultrasounds on days 3 and 21 if i wanted. Our vacation falls right in the middle of my next cycle (of course) so i'll have to wait until we get back.

I actually like my obgyn better than the REs i have seen. He's a lot more agreeable to running tests and doing blood work if i want it done. He'll suggest several options and say what he thinks would be best, but in the end he lets us choose what we want to do.

 

[stuckinoki]

That's good. My re isn't really helping me or running any more tests...we've kind of hit a brick wall, and I'm frustrated about it.

I just want a doc that's open to trying new things.
