Hi Hun,
I'm okay-trying very hard to pray for acceptance and not just trust God's will but find joy in it-much easier said then done-how about you???

Im just like you. Trying to find the joy in it! Keep on trusting and believing!

 

[Titi]

yeah I had an awful time of it the bfn this cycle but now am feeling better and just waiting for af to get here today or tomorrow.......I don't think I will cry this time as I know its coming and have made peace with it over the past few days.........not sure I can continue to actively give ttc my all though anymore. I have done so much more than most people ttc ever have to do (naturally that is) and it has made no difference. If it isn't God's will than nothing I do will help and I am missing out in whatever joy life has in the meantime......so.........trying to come up with a plan for next cycle that is not really NTNP (I mean-I would never in my heart "not" be trying!) but not the crazy of hard core ttc either-I just don't know!!!!

 

[Titi]

I'm out.

blame it on my new fertility monitor-b/c it said I was going to ov on cd15 we figured maybe that was the reason we haven't been getting pg and waited until later to bd. We didn't want to just do it for a longer period of time b/c we have motility issues and really have been trying to "save up". Anyhow now that my cycle is over, and I have correlated all the data I am positive I OV on cd11 so didn't bd enough (or at all) before ov.


Going to just plan on OVing cd11 this month and do everything I did this cycle the same except the bd dates. Wish me luck. A few more cycles of this and then I'm just going to NTNP.

I can understand that you need to regain your life. Its so hard to do once your heart gets set on TTC. Yes it is God's will and not our will. So we can do what we can but until God see fit for us to conceive we wont. His timing! Not ours...thats the difficult part. Will you seek the help of a DR or are you totally against it? Hope all is well!

Hi Hun,

I'm not totally against Dr.....we have already had some testing-it's just difficult b/c in our religion we can only take meds/have surgery that would restore normal bodily functions-like if I wasn't oving or something. Most meds and IVF, etc. are not allowed.

So far I have had a normal ultrasound and cd21 blood tests that confirmed I am ovulating, have a good reserve, fine hormone/thyroid levels and no cysts or anything. DH had an SA in the fall which showed normal count but a higher percentage dead than alive. : ( He since quit smoking, started taking male reproductive supplements and has improved his diet. Since it takes 3-4 months for sperm to "regenerate" he wanted to give it about six months before making another apt. to see if that would work.

At this moment, think we will wait a little bit longer, and then probably book with an RE or an FS at least to see about some more testing, HSG, etc. We've only done all the other tests through our primary and OB/gyn.

How about you?

Yes we've done all the tests. Last summer we found out that I have PCOS, so the DR put me on metformin + clomid to make me ovulate and regulate my cycles. I have been ovulating since last sept every month. Prior to this, I had no cycles or barely cycles which essentially meant I wasnt ovulating. After finally getting regular cycles I didnt know my length and was missing my time of ovulation.

My DH has low morphology, which are abnormal forms but they have gotten better in his second SA. The first one was 2% and the second one was 6%.

Since I have began charting, I now know that I O around CD 19. Last month FF had me at CD 15 and thus I didnt BD enough. I have a 34 day cycle.

It looks like you would O around CD 11 because your cycles are short. This month, BD like every other day during that week so that you dont miss it. I understand your religious reasons and respect that.

Question: Looking at my chart, I can see I O'd about CD19 but FF hasnt given me cross hairs???? Is that normal?

 

[Titi]

yeah-ff won't give you crosshairs til it gets 3 consecutive temp rises.

Sounds like so much has improved with you-you must be well on your way to a bfp! That would be lovely if we got them the same cycle! Did dh do anything to improve them?

Mrs Brown, I think it looks more likely that you OV on CD20 FXed for your crosshairs tomorrow.

Thanks JJay. Yeah I figured it was CD 19 or CD 20. I got + on CD19 but felt those naggy O pains on CD20.

@Titi: He didnt do anything differently surprisingly. I think different things happen at different SA's! Weird I know.

 

[jam-on-toast]

Hi, I just realised I posted in the Old Thread! Ha on me.

Could someone please tell me how do I share my FF BBT chart - I mean how I get the code/link from FF to post here? (I don't have a premium account with FF as of yet but planning on doing so).

Many Thanks!

Mrs Brown, I think it looks more likely that you OV on CD20 FXed for your crosshairs tomorrow.

No cross hairs, in fact temp is going down. Maybe implantation dip, maybe faulty cycle, but I know for sure I ovulated. I know my body and those monthly pains I get. Last month FF was so wrong on my ovulation date. Clearly I ovulated on CD19.
So in order to get CH tomorrow I need to get 97.97 farenheit

 

[mrskcbrown]

FF finallly gave me cross hairs
Gotta get happy over the small things right?

 

[Titi]

WOW Mrskcbrown-WHAT is going on with your chart this cycle??????

 

[mrskcbrown]

WOW Mrskcbrown-WHAT is going on with your chart this cycle??????

Umm yeah Im not too sure. Hopefully its a positive thing? Not sure at all. All I can do is trust God.

 

[Titi]

ha ha-yeah lets hope!!!!!!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Temp keeps going up, so for that I am grateful. I am happy over the small things now

I'm not very good at keeping up with threads anymore.. In fact I log on a lot less until my anxiety takes over! I am 9 dpo and my luteal temps are lower than they were last cycle. Not sure if that means anything this is only my second cycle charting. All that said, I'd like to keep up with this thread as much as possible and learn something from others' charts and maybe not stress over mine as much. Mrs Kc you have some nice high temps going hun! Fxed for your bfp this cycle!!

Hi Titi! :wave:

Hi Titi! :wave:

Thanks hun. I hope they stay up a few more days. My temps started out kinda low too. Not sure why? I have to stop logging in so much and stop stalking my chart so often because any dip drives me. Does it do that to anyone else or is it just me?

 

[Whitbit22]

Yes I do that too! Thats why I barely get on like I used to. However at 10dpo Im getting a little anxious, and yes every little raise/dip gets me on edge. I am planning not to test until after AF is due, which could be about 5 days.
