I'm sorry you're feeling upset, @cakewench. Is there any way you two could go to the doc (or a new doc) together? Maybe it would be easier if you two tackled it together. Hang in there!
edit: tried to fix my tag and failed /facepalm
I can ask, but our work schedules don't often line up (I'm a 9-to-5 desk jockey, he works in hospitality so he usually works 11 or 12 to... whenever the dinner events end, but his schedule changes weekly...) so it would be difficult. But it's worth asking about because clearly he's not giving the doc the full story. Whether that's intentional or not, it needs to stop.
Thanks for the support all, it's much appreciated.
R/R/CS: I think I'm O'ing today- caught an upsurge in OPK starting yesterday afternoon- very positive on SMU. Ovarian pain and EWCM. So I'm just gonna try to have the secks tonight & tomorrow!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? Creme brûlée to get at a restaurant. And I don't really make any desserts, but I do scoop ice cream into a bowl fairly well!
R/R/CS: I can't even with this cycle anymore. I've ovulated around CD21 consistently for awhile now. So, I get a temp spike on Saturday and assume I was just a couple days late. No temp on Sunday AM due to being hungover, and then I temp this morning and I'm down in the 96's again. Maybe my temp this morning was off? Maybe my thermometer is effed up? Maybe I really haven't ovulated yet? I have no clue.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? Hmmm, this is a tough one. I made an amazing lemon cheesecake once, that's probably about the best thing I've ever cooked in my life. I have to find the recipe and try it out again. Cheesecake is usually my go-to for restaurant desserts, too.
R/R/CS: I was traveling this weekend so I am not as confident about my temps, but I have not ovulated yet. Boo... another long cycle.
GTKY - What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress?: I have had fancy desserts, and my favorite restaurant dessert is the Maple Butter Blondie from Applebees. I love to make pie!!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress?
Depends on what the restaurant has. Honestly I'm too cheap for deserts and I don't really LOVE them. So I have to WANT it. Ya know? But now you offer me a mcd hot fudge Sunday? I'm ALLLLL OVER IT! I am a cheap date Desert to impress?? I don't make any. Sorry gals. I will knock your socks off with dinner. But other than kahlua brownies, I've got nothing. But my brownies are DELISH
What am I doing?: Almost done with AF... just spotting now. I'm temping and will start OPK's, checking CM, Pre-Seed, and EOD soon.
R/R/CS: I only have 6 OPK's left from my initial purchase a few months ago... I only test once per day (starting around CD12) so I'm hoping those will be enough to get me through this cycle.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? I don't often get dessert at restaurants, but for special occasions I like to get cheesecake or creme brulee. I like to bake but don't really make anything fancy. I like make fruit crisps/cobblers because they are yummy but I don't think those are super impressive.

Over on TCOYF (is it taboo to mention other forums?? Sorry) the mods mention a fallback temperature after your first temp spike. I have actually had this before where it falls below the cover line on 2DPO and then goes back up for the rest of my LP. I will keep my fingers crossed that it will go back up tomorrow (and after) for you.

Thanks for the input! I guess I just need to stick with the plan, keep temping, and hope for higher temps soon.
What I'm doing: All the stuff, but I'm thinking about trying Mucinex for the first time this cycle. Has anyone tried? I have little to no EWCM so I figure it couldn't hurt.
R/R/CS: Last night I was feeling a little bad that if I get pregnant this cycle I will be subjecting a kiddo to a Christmas birthday. Such a stupid thing to feel bad about but I was still thinking about it.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? I like to order anything with fresh fruit in it - peaches, blueberries, strawberries. I am a much better cook than I am a baker, but I make this awesome strawberry tiramisu that people love.
As a December 22 birthday I can attest that your child will never feel bad about their birthday. My mom was always awesome about having 2 distinct celebrations - one for my birthday and one for Christmas. And to this day I do not accept birthday presents wrapped in Christmas paper. I honestly feel like the entire month of December was made for me....and baby Jesus.

The fallback temperature thing has happened to me on several different cycles. Often enough that FF now ignores any low temperature 2 or 3 days after suspected O and gives me cross hairs anyway.
R/R/CS: Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, although my temp isn't up much. Unfortunately we didn't HIO because we were just too tired by the time we got home and DD fell asleep. I keep telling myself -2 should be good enough, but the reality is we're on cycle 11.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? Anything chocolate! The richer, the better.
R/R/CS: Pretty sure I O'ed yesterday. Watery CM Friday/Saturday, EWCM yesterday and a temp spike this morning. This happened last cycle too. If I did O, we hit O-2, so I'm satisfied with that. Going to have more sex though, just in case I didn't O yesterday.
GTKY: I am an equal opportunity dessert eater at restaurants. My go-to for when I'm hosting people is dump cake and vanilla ice cream.
Good luck at work today, anonymouseliza, I know it's a big day for you. FX for O soon, too! Sparkly, I am so glad you got some much needed rest. I hope the rest of the week goes smoothly cakewench, that sounds extremely frustrating, I am sorry you are dealing with this. I would seriously consider going to the doctor with YH for some extra support. I really don't think it's fair to you when you are doing everything you can to track your cycles and increase your chances of conception, and YH keeps skirting around the issue. It's so important to be honest with all of your doctors about all of your medications, treatments, and current plans like TTC because they are there to help y'all. I hope you and YH can talk soon. (((HUGS))) kcones88, I hope your temps confirm O for you soon. Did you ever get a positive OPK? I see a bunch of negatives on your chart but I see you stopped after that. FX for CH soon, @katerli and pismoduo! Good luck!
Cycle/Month: 8/7
Day: 15
What I'm doing: Femara, BBT, OPK, PNV, ED in FW, lining supplements
R/R/CS: I went to my RE and had one good follicle, and my lining was awesome! 10.5! That's triple what I had at this point last cycle on Clomid. My estrogen and progesterone levels were excellent so it looks like I don't need any additional supplements either. B/W shows that I'm just starting my LH surge so I should O in 2 or 3 days.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? Waaah! I don't really care for sweets. I would SO much rather have an extra serving of steak. But for the purposes of the Q, I'll say cheesecake. I can bake a pretty decent key lime pie.

I totally get this. I had my LO on December 31, 2013. But the way I look at it, she gets a HUGE party every year on her birthday!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? Love to order creme brulee at restaurants, but when I'm trying to impress people I make a roll cake like my pumpkin cream cheese roll cake. I make it because I hate pumpkin pie.

Cycle/Month: 2/2 CD: 6 RRCS: My feet are in turmoil from wearing boots that really should remain just for riding. I bragged about not having blisters in my hands after so long not mucking stalls, but then I wore some new work gloves today and now I have blisters
GTKY: I don't usually make dessert but I made some kickass, super rich lemon bars once. As for ordering, I like pie so I usually look for a crisp or pie of some sort. I usually get cheesecake if neither of the above is offered.

@emilie818, I have a December 19th baby. I really don't think it's that big of a deal. Now, we are TTA right now so as not to have two December babies, but that is for my own sanity, especially since I work in retail. I'm pretty sure everyone else thinks it's a bigger deal than people with December birthdays. You make it special in your/their own way and eventually it won't matter. We were originally planning to avoid for 3-4 months to avoid all winter babies, but then I was like fuck it. I want another baby and whatever season that baby shows up in will be just fine, so we just made is 1 to skip December EDDs specifically. And if we'd been trying for longer, I wouldn't even have done that. It wasn't "ideal" the first time around but I still would not trade it for anything in the world.
sdgal, I love pumpkin cream cheese rolls! There was a gal where I used to work who made the best one I ever had around late October... It was to die for!

Cycle/Month: 2/2
Day: 15
R/R/CS: Thought this cycle would be a bust because I was ill at the end of last week and had a huge temp spike, which I expected to mask any true O temp spike. Temp is now down and still negative OPKs since CD8, so HIO we are.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert to get at a restaurant and your favorite dessert that you make to impress? Restaurant: An espresso brownie. Home: Probably peanut butter brownies. I guess there's a theme.
ETA: I actually had to google creme brulee after reading these replies. I have heard of it, but didn't actually know what it was. I'll pass, though. More for you!

I'm sure you know this, but isn't O-2 considered the best day in terms of timing?
You're right. There is a chart that shows O-2 as the best timing, but I've hit that timing for many months so I'm feeling down about it. FF suggests hitting as many days in the FW as possible and that just didn't happen this time.
