Your Chart...Part 2!!!!!!!!!!

Beth, You must be getting so frustrated with this cycle! Don't give up on it yet though, you might just be ovulating later than normal. Keep watching out for signs, ewcm, pain and let's just see when your temp will go up. I don't think this cycle is annovulatory - not yet! Keep hanging in there!

Skyllar, Any sign of yet today?? Tomorrow sounds like a good day to test. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

AFM, I *think* I am going to test on Monday.... or maybe not at all. LOL! We'll see. So far, my temps are looking good, but it is only CD 10 which is still early. However, last time I O'ed in May I only had an 11 day LP. The time before that was 13 days, so we'll see what this month brings.
Oh and Beth, I tried to look up stuff about a higher progesterone level, but I couldn't really find anything either. All I could find was that they like it to be over 10 in a natural cycle and over 15 in a medicated. I wasn't ovulating for months and then I get this strong, high number? Seems crazy to me?? Let's hope it is part of meaning something good!

Sky,
I got some dollar store tests from Dollarama here in Canada. Do you have that dollar store in the US?

Lindzee, that's exactly what I'm talking about! Annovulatory cycles and then bounce right back with evidently a very strong ovulation? Strange to me, but I'll won't argue with it when you get your !

Skyllar, I've gotten them at Dollar Tree before. Not really been to the other dollar stores before -- Dollar Tree just happens to be closest to my work.

This is a guide to Progesterone levels:-

1-28 ng/ml Mid Luteal Phase (CD21) (Average is over 10 for un-medicated cycles and over 15 with medication use)

If you are pregnant guide to levels:-
• 9-47 ng/ml First trimester
• 17-146 ng/ml Second Trimester
• 49-300 ng/ml Third Trimester

So as you can see your numbers can be on the lower side on a cycle, but the higher the number the more chance of it being a cycle....it's only a guide though it is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

Thanks for looking this up for me Georgi. I was trying to find something like that, not that it really makes a difference since I am not pregnant - at least not yet! I am trying not to get tied up with the number, just the fact that i actually O'ed this cycle. Here's to hoping it will lead to higher numbers!

Sorry guys, haven't got long to post as am off to work soon. Just wanted to say Lindzee, you should be testing hun, anything over 40 should should suggest possible pregnancy, well where I have worked anyway! Have you tested yet?

Awwwww sorry hunny! Sorry! have some chocolate and a glass of wine tonight,maybe watch a movie! (is it a teacher workday there tommorow? It is here) Anyway,hope you can chill and mope for a day,then back on the plan! hugs xxx

Emma, didn't know that either about the Lindzee's high progesterone level. Lindzee, I told you earlier I had a feeling about this cycle!

Skyllar, sorry showed for you. (((HUGS)))

My temp went up some today but I'm not putting a lot of faith in it. We were at a wedding last night and I only had two drinks (just wasn't tasting good) but had several diet Cokes. I think the caffeine disrupted my sleep, and woke up twice with more crazy dreams (got up once). Anyway, we'll see.

Sky,
I am SO sorry to hear that showed!! What a little biotch, trying to trick you by arriving late!! I hope you are doing okay. I am thinking of you. I agree with Angel, eat some chocolate and have a nice big glass of wine tonight! Try and relax before back to school tomorrow!!

Beth,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! And i see that your temp went up this am! Any feelings of O?? Hope you're doing okay! Okay, so I see we just posted at the same time and i just read about the drinks and the interrupted sleep. do you know what's weird? i find my temp goes down when I have interrupted sleep! Crazy! Well, i guess we will see what tomorrow brings. I hope you had fun last night!! Oh, I HATE crazy dreams, I have had some the last few nights too!

AFM,
Emma, does that a high progesterone over 40 mean possible pregnancy? I couldn't seem to find anything that showed that that I googled? I kind of have a feeling that I am going to be joining Sky in the club in a couple days. I have really no symptoms to tell me either way though. i am happy my temps are still up and my BBs are still tender and sore. I don't know if I will test or not. FF is telling me I could test on Tuesday, so maybe if doesn't show by then I will. Beth, what's your expert testing opinion? [added: I just read you still have a good feeling about this cycle, LOL!!] I just hate seeing a BFN.

Happy Sunday ladies!

Skyllar

Lindzee, do a test hun! Sorry you couldn't find anything on progesterone levels, it's just what I know from my gynae experience that we would be looking looking at possible pregnancy for levels above 40 but then there is a lot of overlap too between ovulation levels and pregnancy levels if that makes sense. I would definitely test though if I were you and wouldn't worry about symptoms as such as they really don't start until about 6 weeks I think, well at least they didn't for me. Also, it is common to feel that is coming when it is due.

Sorry but I have to quote myself here, as you can see by the chart I quoted, a progesterone test result of 46+ fits in VERY nicely with the First Trimester result, I was trying to point out that the higher the number the MORE likelyhood of it being a cycle HOWEVER numbers do not have to be really high to = pregnancy. Lindzee your chart looks really good aswell...personally at 12dpo I would test (considering test result & chart), it might be faint but it's possible to see a this early!

Sky - So sorry to hear that arrived honey so reading between the lines are you saying that you can't over the next few cycles or that it's not ideal (time wise)??

So what did you decide Lindzee?

Hi Girls,

Beth, good to see you got your GBF [that term just TOTALLY cracked me up!! LOL!] in last night. Teehee. Damn your chart, it is trying to throw us for a loop! Our bodies and our charts sure do like to do that to us from time to time, don't they???

Sky, I am sorry that you felt this was it for your window. I know how difficult it can be when money is a factor and you want to stay home. Do you think you will reconsider or wait for another time? I hope you are okay and that you did have a BIG glass of red and a nice hot bubble bath. You deserve it. Hope school is good for you today!

AFM, Thanks for the encouraging messages from everyone, Emma, Georgi, Beth, Sky... Well, my temp stayed up this morning, so that makes me hopeful. I still have sore BBs and a sore back for whatever reason. I kind of feel like I am coming down with something like a little cold maybe. My trial membership ran out today, which is kind of a bummer - they do know how to get you don't they? LOL! Last night FF had given me 92 points on the possible pregnancy predictor or whatever that thing was. I don't hold much stock in it. So I laid in bed this morning while I had to pee and was trying to decide if I should test or not...












I chickened out!! :S If my temps stay up tomorrow then I think I will test then. Thank you for your continued support!

Lindzee, I had about 32 points something like that this cycle so in the 90's is pretty darn good Are you able to share your chart link you can still do this whether you pay for FF or not, go to the left handside menu and select sharing, select home page setup and then just copy your personal link (sorry if you already knew, it's just I am sooooo keen to keep an eye on your chart! LOL)

Georgi, I completely forgot to click the button to add my chart before I clicked post! Where is my head at?? Now you can go and take a peek and tell me what you think!

Yay!!! today's temp is brilliant ideally that's where you want it to stay although just to give you an extra boost my temp dropped after my just when was due, perhaps my hormones caused the drop but it does prove that a drop doesn't mean the end of the world. You can add your ticker to your siggy Lindzee, saves adding it to every post!! x

Thanks for the positive encouragement, Georgi! I will try not to be too upset/worried if my temp drops a little tomorrow, in case the same thing that happened to you happens to me! I am really trying to just stay neutral and not have a feeling one way or another....Time will tell. Oh, and I did my chart to my siggy, but I still have to click the attach siggy button before I post, which I have been forgetting to do!

Skyllar, I'm so sorry about (((hugs))) I know the timing makes it hard, and I hope you're able to make the best decision about -ing in the next few months.

Lindzee, I just read your FB msg and had to come check for updates (though I did write you back on FB too). I totally agree that you should test tomorrow, things really do look promising and that is an AMAZING progesterone result!!! I can't see how it wouldn't indicate pregnancy if I'm really honest, but I really do understand how much you don't want to get your hopes up because of how disappointing it can be. So I will stop there but you better keep us updated!!! Have all my fingers & toes crossed for you!! xoxox

Beth, happy birthday honey!! I hope you enjoyed it. And I wish your chart give some good answers soon. I'm sorry to hear about the fermara s/e too, on top of your doubts about what it's doing that's the last thing you need! (((Hugs)))

xoxo

Ooooh, you'll be DOCTOR SKYLLAR!

Lindzee, I was looking for today's temp.....where is it!!!

Just posted it Bethy!!
It is still high, just down a teeny bit. SO who knows what that means?
- but I have a TON of creamy cm this morning, could that mean is coming?

Also, I did take a test this morning, with a dollar store cheapy and there was not even a hint of a line. Don't you think it would show something by 13 dpo? Hmmmmmm.
