Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I know 10 dpo is early, but I can't wait to test and I have a chiropractor appointment that day. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it's hard.
GTKY: Whats your favourite makeup item, the thing you must wear? Mascara.
Hugs, mill23. Hope next cycle works out better! butlerfan, I'm sorry for the temp drop, I know that's so disappointing to see. I looked at your chart and it really looks beautiful up until the very last temp, unfortunately. I agree with ovulation on CD 14, but how about those last temps on CD 25 and CD 26? Do you think at all that they coincide with the temp drop? I personally do not think so because it is a significant drop but I was just wondering what you were thinking.
Timing: terrible. need to work out mental blocks that have plagued our sex life for years.
Testing Date/Plans: probably won't test. Doubt I'll need to.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Really need to be more fastidious in regards to gettin busy. It's always been an issue, and now it's become way more than just an annoyance. Hopefully this month we can get over these hurdles.
GTKY: Whats your favourite makeup item, the thing you must wear? I don't wear makeup that frequently. But when I do, definitely need blush and lip gloss.

As long as we've been together, he really hasn't been that sexual. When we first started dating, it was better, more "normal" I'd say. But then it started to slow, and I'd say after we were together for a year or so, we were having sex every couple of months. Recently, going as long as 6 months isn't unusual for us. It's always something we both recognized as a problem, but have never made good on our plans to "fix" it. It mostly stems from a body image issue on his side. Another factor is that he just got a late start, always dated girls that were somewhat "prudish" and so he learned to not put a lot of importance on the physical part of the relationship. He also has a tendency to be emotionally unavailable and that can manifest itself in a lack of interest. I don't want to pressure, and I also don't want to *always* be the one instigating, so I've become complacent.
diamondsndaisies, I got lots of weird twinges and pinches this cycle. It's the first time I've ever felt anything like it. I hate to disappoint you, but I'm about 99% sure I'm out at this point. Hopefully it's good news for you though!

I don't know what I'm thinking...the temps on cd 25 and 26 were about 45-60 minutes later than normal so I have open circles for those days. It just seems like a huge drop today but I have had some spotting when wiping so who knows. I guess I have to wait to see if AF shows and what my temp does tomorrow.

I'm sorry for your struggles. When I was married to XH I had some issues similar to this (not quite as bad) except it was the other way around. I had the body issues and lack of drive due to lack of interest. It's hard to overcome and can definitely put a strain on a marriage. I will say that there is definitely options out there to help! I hope things start improving for you!

It was looking so pretty though.
I agree with you. The chart is lovely. I wish mine looked like that. I have pretty much all open circles and temps all over the map due to night time waking and DD's erratic sleep schedule. I am no chart expert so I didn't know if the open circles could mean anything else except different temping times. I thought maybe something was going on with those two temps that caused your temp to be falsely low, but I think if you are spotting then you are right, AF is probably on her way. I am so sorry. I wish I could give you a hug because I know you disappointed you feel. I am most likely going to be in the same boat ass you in a day or so, too.

Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -2
Testing Date/Plans: Maybe later this week if period doesn't start.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I need to start setting an alarm to do my temping. Because right now, it's all over the place. One of the things I am learning before my next cycle, which feels like it is coming soon. Mild cramps started this afternoon.
GTKY: Whats your favourite makeup item, the thing you must wear? I go daily without make-up, but when I do wear it, my favorite item is my simple Clinique mascara. It leaves no clumps, and I love it.
I have seen several people mention creamy CM in this thread today. Does cream CM post ovulation mean something?? I've had tons of it this week. Is that a normal thing? Am I just noticing it more because I'm paying better attention to my body?
(Hugs) tina515. Communication, communication, communication. H and I are still working through our issues (mainly performance related; we would try, he would "fail" --his words-- and thus, not want to try ever again. Which lead to many long dry spells. This also seriously fucked with my head too. His performance is better but I still have a hard time not focusing on "omg please finish" instead of, ya know, enjoying sex with my partner.
TL; DR you are NOT alone. It can get better. Best of luck to you.
Me: 29, PCOS with slight IR and slightly elevated DHEA-S. HSG all clear, SHG shows a couple cysts but besides that, all normal. Prescribed Metformin. H: 40, Low motility, morph and volume. Meeting with urologist & repeat SA in August to see if anything can be done to improve numbers.
