TTC'rs ,Charters and Chart Cheerleaders! 2010~

Thats not a big dip, especially when looking at the overlay! My temp went down on 14 DPO after I got my , it freaked me out that much that I put my thermometer away and havn't temped since! lol!

Thanks ladies for your words! I will just try and take things as they come and see what tomorrow brings. It is not a HUGE dip in the grand scheme of things, but it could definitely still go down tomorrow too. We shall see. Thanks for all your support!! xoxo

p.s. Beth I love that you are giving me a hard time about my temp and you don't have one entered for today!! LOL

Oh, and I just looked at my chart from last month and I am happy that my LP is better this time and that the actual chart looks better. Although a lot of it is the clomid creating higher temps I am sure.

Bleh!! I am REALLY hoping for good news and a temp that is still up tomorrow!!

LOL! I noticed earlier today that I forgot to input it! It's in there now....but mine isn't as critical as yours!

Well, onto the next month....

*Sigh....*

sorry boo! HUgs xxxx

DAMNIT! I was hoping for you, Lindzee (and was looking for a temp earlier today too -- been earnestly stalking you).

I'm CD9 today and of course hoping for a reasonable ovulation day, NOT CD10. But I've been seeing some CM on the TP after a ....you know...... mel says that can push it out so that's why I usually see it then. Anyway, I've been seeing it the past, maybe 3 days now. Monday, Tuesday, and today. I tested it today and even saw some stretch to it. So I'm pleased but hope it holds off a few days. Hubby and I haven't done anything in over a week (*grumble, grumble*) and I still feel I need a later O day for a chance at a better, more mature, more viable egg. I've been wondering more and more if I really do have a blocked tube, but just not sure I really want to go through the struggle of trying to see/convince doctors anymore to try and "fix" me. It's mentally and emotionally draining.

Yeah, it sucks.

I was expecting it though, unfortunately. I just feel like I don't have a lot more left in me. CD 1 is always so depressing.

BUT I am trying to be positive and am thinking of other things to do this cycle....I am thinking about NOT temping, using OPKs, staying with the clomid, using preseed and crossing my fingers. What do you think?

As for you, I REALLY hope you O later, but I do think it is a good sign that you are getting some EWCM. And that really is the best time to check for it, LOL!! I really hope it continues for a few more days so that that egg can grow and mature! I wonder if you should try to go back to the doctor/ OB/ FS? I know you sure don't want another HSG probably!!

This whole process is SO draining - with or without doctors. I really wish this was easier for us because sometimes it sure is hard to keep going and not give up hope.

I removed my our 2010 baby blinkie and it made me sad!

Lindzee I'm so sorry hun, CD1 is always horrible and nothing anyone says can ever make it any better

Beth CM is a good sign! I remember the nurse last year talking about more investigations into the blocked tube possibility. Could you not go back to her and see what she suggests? I know you are weary of surgery but as you know I am a BIG fan of the lap procedure, but if you think thats going too far then maybe try the dreaded HSG again? I think I said before but lap's are always performed in the UK when a blocked tube is suspected, it's automatic.

Well it is after nine pm and still no ? Must be on the way tomorrow instead.... Come on already!!

Oh Lindzee that sucks......I hate it when starts playing hide and seek! Hey listen though a 'January' baby ain't have bad cos after all the excitement of Christmas and New Year you still have the most amazing thing to look forward to plus by the time it's Christmas again they are that much more aware as they are nearly 1 just highlighting the silver lining for ya! x

Thanks Mel and Georgi, I really appreciate the posts and the silver lining. Well, still no yet today?! I have NO idea what is going on?? I usually get on 14 DPO around 10 or 11 am. This cycle is throwing me for a loop. I am just ready to move on already, you know? My temps indicate is on the way so where is it? I have had terrible sleeps [especially last night - I swear to God I woke up about ten times or more] the last two nights, but not enough to alter my temp that much I wouldn't think.

Still no temp rise, Beth, that is good! I hope the rise holds off for a few more days!

Lindzee, not trying to throw a monkey wrench into the works, but if I remember correctly, Clomid did lengthen my LP a bit.

Hubby and I got busy last night! I mentioned it tonight but he said I was pushing it, lol.

You are SO right about that Beth!! I just read that not too long ago in TCOYF, and completely forgot about clomid lengthening your LP as well. It is not used just for ovulation but for short LPs too. Thank you for reminding me of this and helping to ease my slight insanity! Spotting has finally started tonight. Onwards and upwards to my plan for next cycle.

Tell DH too bad!! LOL. Maybe aim for every other night until confirmed temp rise?? You have to seduce him with your wily feminine ways! Have fun!!

FF offered me a few VIP days this morning so I, of course, accepted. Look at all the fertile days they gave me! Ridiculous. If I actually was fertile, I wouldn't still be doing this! LOL!

Still a low temp for me so I hope hubby and I can get busy again. He kinda ticked me off the other day when I said we need to start having sex again. "Oh, you're still trying for a baby?" Grrrrrr. He said I hadn't mentioned in a long time. Whatever.

YAY for free VIP. I just had it too. It is fun to get, but I don't think I will ever spend money on it.

Tell DH to suck it up and get on it! I would be ticked off if my DH said something like that to me too. That probably hurt a bit. Did you give any more thought to going back to the doctor? I think it is a great sign that you have EWCM this cycle! Always thinking of you, Beth!

AFM, is definitely here now today. And you would not believe the rough night I had last night- my cramps were horrible and I thought my uterus was going to fall right out. Let's not talk about the diarrhea either. Bad, bad night.
But I am trying to chin up because I went and got my clomid today and my prenatals, so I am on my way to [another!] new cycle. I am trying to be hopeful even though I have been feeling very alone and like no one IRL understands.

I am also off to buy some OPKs online, but need to set up a PAyPal account, which I've never done. All these things I need to learn to do! Well, if it helps in the end, then here's to it!

Lindzee,sorry you had such a rough CD1. That sucks. Have you had that problem before? I guess I'm pretty fortunate in that my periods are never really bad, not even when I was younger.

Slight temp rise today but nothing definitive.

CD 1 one was bad but then the rest has been just fine? And it seems as if is almost done, just very light so far today. Only three days this cycle... Weird. Who knows how things will be anymore? You just can't rely on any one thing to stay or be the same, can you?

I saw the slight rise today too in your chart. Have to wait to see what tomorrow brings! Can you coerce DH again tonight??!

I'm gonna try with hubby -- we'll see what happens.

Do you start clomid tonight? 50mg, CD3-7 again?

Yes, go get on that DH of yours and then he can't say no!!! LOL!!!

AFM, I started the clomid last night - 50 mg CD 2-6 as per my doc. I haven't heard of a lot of people taking it CD 2-6 but it is supposed to help me to O earlier/on time. I don't know? My was not very long this cycle so I am thinking that is probably not the best thing. I don't know?

Sometimes I think the dosing days is just a guess! But yeah, I guess in theory CD2-6 might help your O be earlier. Heck, moving my soy to CD5-9 seems to have pushed my O day back, so who knows?

Hoping for a good early O day for you! Did you get your OPKs ordered?

WTF happened to my chart this morning??

OH! But I did see a tiny bit of stretchy CM yesterday!

Still alive Net was down whilst we changed providers! Will catch up soon x

Bethie,

I say Pre O dip!! Get Dh into bed for SURE tonight!! Coerce him if you have to!! And YAY for more EWCM - again. What are you doing differently - anything? I sure could use some more of that! The cycle I had my miscarriage I had a lot of EWCM, which i think was due in part to the HSG. Can't be having one of those every month! Here's to hoping your temp spikes up tomorrow!

Welcome back Toffee! update us when you can!!

AFM, Yes I did order my OPKs. They should be here in about four days or so I think. What CD should I start using them? And i think you are supposed to use mid afternoon pee? [Which is a PITA!] Also, I booked an appt with my OB for Apr 29 to get a referral to the FS which got put on hold after the miscarriage. So quite a few things on the go for me, I guess?! LOL!
