Seeking information!

My DH (dear husband) & I have been TTC for almost 5 years now. We have seen 2 separate fertility specialists, tried all sorts of OTC options, had 3 failed IUI attempts, and have had LOTS of sex trying to time it to hit the proper window. Currently we are trying at home insemination. We tried out first round last month which was also a dud and didn't work. We have read quite a bit on at home insemination and seen that couples had pretty good results in 1-5 rounds so we are going to continue giving it a shot.

So this cycle has been a bit odd. We starting using the Clear Blue Ovulation kits. The ones that give you a blank circle if you're not fertile, a flashing smiley face if your surging, & a solid smiley face if your at your peak. Last month we got our peak on day 15. However, today is day 18 and had yet another flashing smiley face. Is it possible that I am just ovulating later this month?

Would love ANY insight on the ovulation topic, home insemination tips/success stories, or any other suggestions from those who are TTC or had for a long time and then found success.

For reference I attached my BBT temp chart as well.



Thank you so much in advance for all the responses!

Yes I think it's quite possible that you are just ovulating later this month. How consistent are your cycles? Mine range from 27-32 so naturally my ovulation date is anywhere from CD13 to CD18. From your BBT or send you haven't had your surge yet so I don't think you've missed your O date yet.

I never did home insemination so I can't offer any advice there but I home you get some advice from others!

Good luck

I have never had a home insemination, but this blog is very helpful.

You can still o without a solid smiley. I had it happen.
