Beaglemom, on to the next cycle, and yay for IUI!!! You said you got your clomid, right? I'm getting so excited! Can't wait to hear about that bfp!! It's gonna be happening really soon, I can feel it.
misaacs, how's the opk going? Still neg? Is the saliva still pos? I agree that you should just keep BDing and assume you're at ovulation time, but maybe just keep testing, like you said, for a few more days. I use the CB digital with smilies, and I'll use a cheapie in the evenings too, basically same as savvy. If I were to see a pos on the cheapie at night, then I'd use the CB to back it up at night too. But this month, I got my smiley around 1pm (I was waiting for a new kit to come in the mail from amazon). And I tested again the next morning with fmu, and it was still a smiley. I've had real good luck with the CB in most cycles. I've always been curious about the saliva test. I'm just so fascinated at what our bodies do, and the ways we can detect it! I also temp, and I'm always amazed when my temp jumps the next day, even though I've been doing it for months, lol!
When I entered my temp this morning, FF changed my O day to cd16. Which makes more sense to me anyway. My coverline seemed a bit low when comparing to my other charts. And my post-O temps are more consistent with my other charts now too. Thank goodness I was feeling cramps that day and thinking I might O that day (since my temps weren't as high as usual). If I hadn't had a suspicion, we may not have BD that day. But I had told DH I thought the egg might be taking its sweet time, so we did BD that evening when I got home from work. And the next morning was when my temp went up to my more typical post-O temp. So I at least feel better about our bd schedule than I did before. We got some spermies in there 2 days prior (since DH rushed home), and then on the day of.
Feeling better about that.
would have been nice, but I am now on the countdown to IUI!!! Also, with her being early, I do not have to be as concerned about an early O...my luteal phase was 15-16 days which is good. Also I have today & tomorrow to get the bad cramps out of the way for smooth sailing on vacation. I am also relieved the fertilitea did not mess up my cycle. It can screw it up for some people. So a very weird 1st cycle after clomid with 26 days as opposed to 28 - 29 days before clomid. The tea could have affected that as well. Early O at CD 11. I feel so great right now, I can't even tell you! Of course, I also feel AF about to turn her wrath on me, so I will get my usual ibprofen now & some mt dew & a hershey's at lunch. Then tonight I will bring home some take out, take a hot showr, put on some comfy warm pjs, & relax on my couch with my husband & 3 pups. February is going to be a great month for us, ladies! I hope my positive vibes really rub off on everyone else.
