Thank you all for the very kind words, made me feel so much better reading them.
to all!!
Kitty, how long are your average cycles? I have seen charts where AF would start with a high temp but would then drop as expected on cd 2 or cd3, so that is a possibility. But I really hope AF stays away and those temps stay nice and high! I know it's frustrating to be in limbo with no BFP and no AF. Hope you get your answer one way or the other soon (but I know which way I'm hoping for!!)
Fifi, thanks for the tip on the Bean books, adding them to my wishlist now! I bet DH loved getting the Ender book for Christmas.
Ablack, you def could have ovulated on CD 12 or 13, however even though on this chart your temp today looks high, compared to your post ovulation temps last cycle, you're still below your coverline. I know temps can change cycle to cycle of course, but just wanted to try to give you some perspective. If you did ovulate on CD 12 or 13 then you're still in the running, you got some BD'ing in at a good time. I would def keep up with the BD'ing though in case you haven't yet ovulated.
DH and I met with the fertility specialist today. We were told the results of all of our blood tests were normal (genetic testing for both of us, day 3 egg age test for me, and some other autoimmune tests for me). So that is good news. I brought up my spotting and he said that based on the cd 11 scan he did last month that it would appear I have a hormone imbalance. I asked if I had a progesterone problem and he said most likely I have a problem with estrogen and progesterone in both phases of my cycle. He said very rarely do women have one or the other as they are both dependent upon each other. He indicated that this could indeed be the reason for all of my mid cycle bleeding. I'll get more into the spotting and his recommendations regarding that in a minute.
As for the uterine septum he told me it's about 3/4" and goes about 1/3 of the way down. DH and I decided to go ahead with scheduling the surgery which should be at the end of January. I reluctantly agreed to go on birth control pills for no more than 14 days after he explained how they help to reduce bleeding and the uterine lining so that he can get a much better view of what's going on. I was originally very against this idea but after a bit more reading and talking to the DR I do believe there is a valid reason for doing so. So I get to start those lovely things on cd 1. The procedure will be done at an outpatient surgery center and I will be under general anesthesia. They'll go in through my cervix in a procedure called metroplasty. Should just be normal period cramping for recovery and then after 1 normal period we can start ttc again
As for the hormone imbalance he suggested a round of clomid on my first cycle after the surgery. I'm still thinking if I want to do that, but I definitely need to do something about the darn spotting and to make sure I put out nice ripe eggs!
So that's my long story, thanks for taking the time to read. We're still going to try this month and I'll be temping and charting all throughout the next few months. Will be very interesting to see if/how the clomid adjusts my cycle. If any of you lovely ladies have experience with clomid I'd love to hear how it worked (or didn't work) for you. Thanks again!!!!
I forgot to add the best part! I pointed out to the dr that all of my spotting problems started when I switched from a generic prenatal to a fancy one with a separate DHA capsule. I asked if I could get a script to go back on the generics. He said I should pop a Flintstones vitamin instead! I totally thought he was joking but he said that it has everything that is needed (including iron and folic acid) and even the resident sitting with us said that's what she used during her pregnancy!! How funny is that. For those outside the US Flintstones vitamins are chewables that are given to children and are known for tasting really really good, especially the purple Dino dinosaur shaped ones!
over the year lots of love to you all. xX
not something I do normally, esp as I have been totally off sex the past couple of weeks, sensitive sense of smell, sore legs, sore back, not sleeping well. 
gag they taste is different. Steak sauce last night 
Looking forward to seeing lots of BFPs!
