Fertility Friend is not my friend at the moment...

So my chart has me super confused, I thought I O'ed on CD14 ... but that would be too perfect right? Exactly, it appears as it was, I have not had a significant temp rise to confirm ovulation... all I need is one stupid temp, but then if I get that temp and a few others, FF will put my crosshairs around CD25/26. Either CD is fine with me, all I want is some crosshairs dang it ... is that too much to ask?

Also, hypothetically speaking if FF puts my crosshairs at CD14, I would have two dips below my coverline on 9DPO and 12DPO, I got a - blood test yesterday "11DPO", does that mean I am out if I did O on CD14?

Sorry this is so long, I have tried to let this play out and be patient, but I can't take it anymore!

My Ovulation Chart

Not much advice sorry but on a posative note the month my ff messed about like this and gave me a no chance type chart was the month I got my bfp, I felt very smug about putting my +hpg in that month

Thank you, that makes me feel some what better. I just hate the guessing game and it is starting to drive my DH crazy as well. Yesterday he said, one day you think you are ovulating, then the next you don't, make up your mind... dang men, they will never understand how complex the female body is!

 

[BearsMummy]

FF is confusing me this month as well!!

Hopefully that a good sign as smokey said!!

I'm sorry, I have no advice RE your chart though, I'm not very good at reading other peoples!!

You sound like me! I have been banging my head against the wall this month. First I thought I ov'd on day 22, then day 26, and in the end it turned out to be day 33. I would say if you're still not sure and have no cross hairs yet it's likely to be CD 25/26 depending on the next few days' temps. I really, really wanted to have ov'd earlier than I did and was analysing my chart, asking other ppl's opinions, even temping 2-3 times a day (even though I know that's pointless!). Once I did ov, it all became so much clearer. From your cm pattern, looks like perhaps your body tried to ov around day 14 but failed. This happens to me all the time. Have you been checked for hormonal problems?

I don't know how sensitive blood tests are - say you implanted at 9 dpo I have no idea if a blood test would pick up any hcg by 11 dpo. As always, it is just a waiting game!!

Good luck, it's so frustrating when you don't know what's what isn't it x

 

[ittybittycoy]

Thank you everyone for your responses, it seems like only people here on BNB can relate... unfortunately I think I am out though, I started spotting today, not AF flow but since she is so close I think she will arrive. I could be optimistic and say it is implantation spotting, but at 12DPO and how rare implantation spotting is I think I am just kidding myself saying that. But, as with anything when TTC, only time will tell.

 

[smokey]

Theres still a chance, its not over yet

I appreciate how optimistic you are, because I sure am not... FX'ed that you are right. The weird thing is I have no cramping, I mean zero and I typically get cramps with AF... plus the spotting isn't bright red. Ok, so maybe I am a little optimistic, just really trying not to get my hopes up because then it makes a or AF that much worse . Dang our bodies, I wish we would all just get our 's the first go around. to everyone!

 

[ittybittycoy]

So I am spotting again this morning, still not bright red or enough to make it to my panties... it is only there when I check my cervix . Would you ladies count this as CD1 or am I still alright?

Also, oddly enough, my temps are doing exactly what they did from CD13 to CD14, maybe another shot at the big O? I sure hope so, FX'ed.

 

[Smiler82]

Nope, don't count it. FF says to count CD1 as the first day you get a proper flow. Could be ov spotting then...fingers crossed for more high temps over the next few days and you should get your crosshairs x

 

[ittybittycoy]

Thanks, I didn't count it... this is so frustrating! I am to the point where I just want something, be it AF, BFP, or crosshairs. I am trying my best to be patient though, I know we have all been at points like these, so I am not alone. I just tend to sit here, driving myself crazy with what if's... why does TTC have to be so difficult ?

 

[Smiler82]

Aww I know exactly how you feel, I am like this every cycle and drive myself round the bend with all the wondering and waiting. Do you usually ov around day 25/26? I have quite irregular cycles so I'm always watching out for ov and to be honest I sometimes find that harder than the 2WW since you don't have the luxury of a cut-off date, you just have to wait indefinitely...how long have you been ttc?

 

[ittybittycoy]

I am not too sure when I O, I just started charting last month and at CD29 the doc put me on NuvaRing because he said that cycle was anovulatory and I was also having a HSG done. Well after my HSG, I took out the NuvaRing and started my cycle 3 days later, took soy from CD2-CD6 and here I am now CD27 with no confirmed O .

As for my history, we started TTC in March of this year, but then in May I had a cyst rupture on my ovary and nothing has been the same since. After not seeing AF for almost 4 months I took Provera, that is when things went crazy and I was bleeding every 2 to 3 weeks. On the NuvaRing my cycle was 38 days, so far this cycle is 27 and I will just have to wait and see what happens.

 

[LizziesMama]

Sounds like you maybe be anovulatory. Have you asked about clomid?

 

[ittybittycoy]

I was not happy with my doctor's office, so I haven't gone back, they were persistant that I stay on the NuvaRing longer, but my DH is deploying next year so I don't have time to waste. They had talked about Letrezole (sp), but like I said I didn't go back, the RE was frustrating me and I was becoming overwhelmed, that's never good when TTC. My DH wanted me to try soy this cycle and see what happens, if nothing I will consider going back but I don't want the dang NuvaRing... I am thinking of seeing a different doctor.

Sorry if that came across rude, I was kind of venting .

 

[ittybittycoy]

I forgot to mention we have 2 children already, so I know I can ovulate, it is just a matter of when I will.

 

[NorthStar]

Sorry but I think your chart looks annovulatory this month, and I'm wondering about the soy, as some people find that it delays Ov. I think that until things settle down for you that adding soy might not be such a great idea.

You don't have to say sorry, I am thinking the same thing. I am just frustrated cause I want to know something. I truly HATE the unknown, the good news is the spotting has stopped, so it might not be AF, but the bad news is I still have no idea what is going on with my body, grrr! Hoping tomorrow's temp may give me something.

 

[LizziesMama]

Well for what it's worth I wouldn't want to do the nuvaring either. Hormone bc shuts down your ovaries and unless it's done a cycle prior to clomid or injectibles then I think it actually makes things worse.

 

[taylorxx]

It doesn't look like you've ovulated yet hun :/ It's probably from the nuvaring. There is no temp rise and your temps are lower than ever at the moment. I noticed your "post o" temps from your previous chart is around 98.5. Your pre o and post o temps are generally the same each cycle. It actually looks like you may be ovulating very soon, have you taken an opk? xx
