kayladawn91, sorry for the BFN. I totally get the rationalizing. FX, daisy818. Is this a normal length LP for you? I'd be getting antsy at 11 DPO.
Cycle/Month: 17/16
CD/DPO: 20/8
Timing: -2, -1, IUI.
Testing Plans: If my temp is up, maybe Saturday or Sunday.
RRCS: I'm not sure what day to call O. I've been temping even w/ the Letrozole and HCG trigger. My RE administered the trigger after my CD12 monitoring appointment. However, FF is giving me CH on CD12, so it looks like my IUI was the day after O. I did have a lot of what I'm assuming was O pain the evening of the trigger, I've never had that pain before. I'm hoping the timing still worked out!
GTKY: What is your favorite room in your home? I really love our living/dinning/kitchen combo. I think it is adorable, and am really happy with how it has come together. I am constantly moving décor and furniture around. Our loft is finally coming together however, and moving up the list to my favorite room.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your home? The living room since I spend most of my time there. I wish we had better furniture. Right now 90% of it is hand me downs and it's just not my style.

is this a medicated cycle? I think the general rule was not to temp with medicated cycles because it can cause your temps to be off
Yes, medicated. Letrozole/Femara CD 3-7. I managed to not temp through the 1st 2 medicated cycles, but thought that temping would help with the crazy... apparently not.

lgraceh I think temping through a letrozole/Clomid cycle is fine. They are just making your natural ovulation stronger. You may see higher than normal temps but you will still see the biphasic pattern and you will get your period naturally therefore your temp will drop naturally. What you don't want to do is temp during a cycle of injectable stims or drugs that are preventing/delaying ovulation, etc. Does that make sense? I temped thru all of my clomid/femara cycles and my charts looked the same as my natural cycles.

Cycle/Month:9 CD/DPO:22/12 Timing: -2,0 Testing plans: not till a missed period RRCS: nothing right now GTKY: Our bathroom, we totally gutted it when we moved in cuz it was wayyy to old. It was the first thing I've ever designed myself and it's beautiful.
Testing Plans: not till mon or tues if my temp is still up
RRCS: I might be crazy, but I'd rather have some fake symptoms to over analyze over than have nothing and spend the 2 wks being a big ol pessimist. Cause that's where I'm at now.

lgraceh hCG can affect your temp. My temp always went up the day after I triggered (and then back down again because I tend to O closer to the 36 hour mark). Do you normally O around CD12? Were you doing OPKs?

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your home? My living room, probably because that's were we relax and eat dinner. I'd love to say my craft room/office but right now it's just a giant crap catch-all.
RRCS: happy hour tonight with some former coworkers, and i can't help but hope it's my last hurrah with booze for a long while. even though i love booze.
GTKY: What is your favorite room in your home? DD's nursery or the playroom. one because it's cute, one because we spend a lot of fun time in there.

+1. I've temped through both of my (Clomid + hCg) medicated IUI cycles. Both times I've been able to see the clear temp shift, but one month I did have to do the manual override to set O, since the trigger messed with my temps a little bit. There's no harm in temping through a medicated cycle as long as you realize that FF isn't perfect and you may need to override or use your own judgement.
lgraceh hCG can affect your temp. My temp always went up the day after I triggered (and then back down again because I tend to O closer to the 36 hour mark). Do you normally O around CD12? Were you doing OPKs?
I do normally O early, but not quite CD12. I would used OPKs for a couple days before to make sure nothing crazy went down, but was told I didn't need to use them after trigger by the RE. I did use 1 OPK I think last cycle and got a positive on the day after IUI, but read that the HCG can cause that? They just always scheduled me the next day for IUI. They said HIO the night of the IUI or the next day was cool, but didn't stress it at all.
Ugh. Now I am second guessing everything about how all my IUIs have been handled...
lgraceh, yeah, my usual LP is 14 days (last month was 15 days - RE told me some people have an LP that is a day or two longer with meds) so 11dpo for me is still way early (FF says I shouldn't test till Sunday).
And as to temping on medicated cycles, I've temped on all three Clomid/Femara cycles and seen a clear shift, although my post-O temps are a touch higher across the board than they were on natural cycles.

Cycle/Month:
CD/DPO: 23/23
Timing: Good. Or so I thought
Testing Plans: None
RRCS: Temp drop today. spotting. CD1 for me either this afternoon or tomorrow. However, that does mean we are doing an HSG on Tuesday 8/16.
GTKY: What is your favorite room in your home? My living room. We moved in 2 years ago and things are starting to come together, but it has my big tv, my comfy couch, my heated blanket, fireplace, and yummy smelling candles.

Ahh, don't go second guessing things now! You really can't know one way or the other so there's no point in stressing out about it. (Easier said than done, right?) I was wondering if you used OPKs before you triggered since FF is saying you O'ed the same day you triggered. So if you got a +OPK on say CD10-11 then it is possible you O'ed on CD12. But if it wasn't positive then your temp might've went up because of the trigger instead of O. Does that make sense? Either way, you still have better chances than you would on a natural cycle! FX for you.

RRCS: Bfn yesterday. MH did SA today waiting to find out results. I have a bad feeling in my gut.
GTKY: What is your favorite room in your home? I love our living rooms. I love that we have one completely without a tv for entertaining. Most of the time when guests come they don't even realize we have one. Lol. But it makes for better conversation.

Maybe I'm forgetting part of your backstory - why is YH having an SA after only 5 months of TFAS?

The backstory is that he had a back surgery before J was born in which it was a strong possibility that he would not be fertile following. We never tested it following and have decided just to know for sure. Obviously without that strong risk, doing a SA at 5 months would be ridiculous.

Ah, okay - I thought I remembered it was something so I wanted to check before giving side-eye FX that he didn't have any negative fertility effects from the surgery!

I hope not also. I appreciate the benefit of the doubt.
skidevil87 totally off topic, but what kind of heated blanket do you have? i used to have one that i loved, but DH deemed it a fire hazard and made me throw it away, lol. it would turn itself on if i forgot to unplug it and the attached control thing started to melt.

We have a queen sized one we got at Costco. I love it. It's got dual side temp control and you can set it to auto turn itself off.

I actually have a $30 one from Target. Just a throw. I love it. I forget it on all the time. Automatically turns off after a few hours.
