Thanks Girl! I've never been a real "crier" but lately...it's a whole different story.
And I hope your ute gets it together and O's already. ((hugs)) for the long cycle.
I understand and am kinda the same way. It keeps getting harder for me the longer this takes and seeing people get pregnant with the snap of a finger does not help.
Thanks! I was so excited when I got CHs on Sunday and ever since then this cycle is just confusing me.
Out of curiosity, I remember you saying you had temped a second time the day you got the low temp. Does putting the second temp in give you bac your CH?
summerdonna how many OPKs a day are you doing, and at what time? You may just be missing your surge. I usually do one with FMU as well as in the afternoon (around 2:00)
R/R/CS: I thought for sure I o'd cd17 and that means we hit two days, but no cross hairs. I had a huge spike this morning but that means we only hit one day I think.
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? no
Look at that beautiful temp spike! I am oddly jealous of the clarity of your chart.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Things and stuff. I actually remembered to temp this morning!
R/R/CS: AW warning: I woke up this morning with a PG announcement from an old flame. Like, crush for 10+ years type of old flame (lives far away so nothing ever happened, but we both still had all the feels for each other). Baby is due the month mine should have been due. AWESOME fucking way to start my goddamn morning. Another old fling is also having a baby the month I was due. I found that out like 2 weeks after my mc. Because this is the fucking thing I needed to deal with during hell week.
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? I have fibromyalgia, hypermobility syndrome, and chronic migraines. I've also had two knee surgeries. My body just doesn't like to work.

I just tried putting it to that second temp and it put the CHs back. Only dotted but that's all I got last cycle.

I've only ever done one a day and it's with FMU. The brand I use doesn't say it has to be FMU but it says to do it at the same time every day. After reading reviews on amazon though I've seen people say not to use FMU. I think next cycle when I switch from digitals I won't care as much to use multiple tests. Thank you for looking at my chart!
R/R/CS: Last night, the pelvic pain was the worst I have experienced in months. It's getting to be overwhelming.
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? Ooo, I can answer this one. I have Narcolepsy w/o Cataplexy. That means I can't regulate my sleep and am pretty much exhausted all the time; however, I do not just fall over at the drop of a hat, like you sometimes see in movies. I also have Raynaud's Disease, IBS and elevated blood pressure (my 30's have been unforgiving). Andplusalso, my knee caps are too high up which makes me prone to dislocation.
ETA: I've had doctors accuse me of being a hypochrondiac. It sucks.

So sorry rablissful One of my co-workers ended up being due the same day I was supposed to be. It was so hard to see her growing every day, thinking "that could be me." Somehow it's easier for me now that she has an outside baby.

Outside babies don't bother me. Neither do most inside babies. Just babies due about the same time as me really bother me.

Oh yah, Wondfos for the win! So cheap so I don't feel bad testing twice a day. You may have a better chance catching your surge in the early afternoon. But I've caught surges with FMU and afternoon.
fem, I started temping around 16 months postpartum while breastfeeding, and, although I didn't O until 20 months PP, I was able to get a vague sense of when to expect my period, which was nice.

Cycle/Month:4/1 fourth since the loss first one we'll start trying again
CD:2
What are you doing to get knocked up? starting with just lots sex and temping
R/R/CS: our first miscarriage happened the first month we tried last june/july then I got pregnant with Conner the following August. Im worried that I'll get pregnant right away again only to have another loss. Serious mind fuck going on right now.
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones??: Nope
Cycle: 9 CD: 3 Getting Knocked Up: temping, PNVs, consulting OB about short luteal phases
R/R/CS: The cramps this cycle are weird. Pretty minimal except this intense pain that happens occasionally when I sit down or stand up. Almost like there's something tight in that spot that gets pulled when I move. On the plus side it's shaping up to be a short period, so that'll be nice.
GTKY: I have pretty much constant sinus congestion. Had all the allergy tests, only positive was a very slight allergy to mold. Saline sprays help when it gets too bad, but most of the time I just deal with it.
R/R/CS: I thought for sure I o'd cd17 and that means we hit two days, but no cross hairs. I had a huge spike this morning but that means we only hit one day I think.
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? no
Look at that beautiful temp spike! I am oddly jealous of the clarity of your chart.
The spike is great and a good indicator. The EWCM and the positive then negative opk's are throwing me off and the reason I think I o'd earlier. I guess I have to just give it a few more days.
What are you doing to get knocked up? sex, temping, CM, no OPKs this cycle...I like to use them but I haven't reordered any wondfos.
R/R/CS: Had my saline sonogram yesterday and excited to know my tubes are clear. We have a f/u apt with the RE tomorrow discuss all the testing we did this month. Im feeling positive and hopeful right now...hopefully I will feel the same way after meeting with the doctor
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? nope
requiressnacks, men! Sometimes they don't have a clue. But hey that's why they have us!
lgraceh, keep with the charting. I know with me, after charting a few months, I really got to know my cycle. They got very predictable which was nice for planning. Not everyone's is like that of course, but charting will get easier
summerdonna - sorry that FF is being so annoying this cycle! FWIW, I don't think you ovulated yet... there doesn't seem to be a clear and sustained temp shift. requiressnacks - DH has made similar joking comments to me - "Can you please get pregnant this month?" or "Why aren't you pregnant yet?" Depending on my mood, I sometimes laugh it off (or retort with some comment about his sperm...), but sometimes it hurts even though I know he is just joking around. TTC certainly brings up a lot of emotions, and usually moreso for us than for the guys... rablissful - Hugs! Sorry for the bad start to your day.
Cycle/Month: 9/8
CD: 2
What are you doing to get knocked up? Waiting for AF to leave
R/R/CS: Not GKU related, but DH and I are in the process of getting licensed to be foster parents (and will hopefully someday foster-to-adopt as well). Tonight we have our first of nine 3-hour long training classes for our state's required foster parent training. We are so excited to get started with the training because it is one of the biggest requirements to do besides the official home study. We're also excited to meet some other future foster parents in our area who will also be taking the class!
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? Nope.
@katerli, I am pretty non-confrontational, but would say something. The RE should know because they are the first impression of the practice and they sound awful.
Post by shadesofgold on May 14, 2015 14:15:54 GMT -5
@katerli - I'd probably mention that their comments about pregnancy were totally inappropriate, given the setting, to your RE. Those are relevant to their job.
Cycle/Month: 8/12 CD: 13 What are you doing to get knocked up? the sex R/R/CS: MrRama and I haven't done any serious working out in a while and I think that's what was making my cycles more regular. Due to circumstances, it's not so easy to do anymore, but it's still annoying me. GTKY:Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? Hypertension and a gallstone the size of a golf ball or better are the ones that come to mind.
requiressnacks *hugs* I'm sorry your husband said that. Here's hoping he doesn't have much more time to think those things, eh? jags8 Oof, that's rough, too. All the hugs. *squish* summerdonna I'm actually going to guess that you haven't O'd yet. Your chart from last cycle has you Oing at CD38 and your temps are very clearly elevated from the pre-O ones. Still sucks getting the yes-no-yes-no game from FF, though. :( kelle017 OPKs are supposed to be + 12-48 hours before you O, so that works out about right. As for CM, how do you check it? Internal or TP? 'Cause sometimes you can still have EWCM, but it's hanging out near the cervix where it'll do the most good. ;) Here's hoping you O'd! @katerli I'd send in a complaint, definitely. That's grossly unprofessional.

ceejay and Rama thank you for taking a look at my chart! Hopefully in a couple days it will be more clear and my body will quit being an asshole and just O already.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Seks, OPKs, BBT...
R/R/CS: Mother effing FF gave me CH today, even though I've now been temping for many months and have never Od before Day 19 or 20. I know they say never say never, but I also just got EWCM and haven't had a +OPK yet. Hopefully temps in four or five days will be high enough that the CHs adjust. Idk why this stresses me out, haha! I know it's just the app making a guess, but it sends me into crazy territory...
GTKY: Do you have any non-fertility related medical conditions? Any weird ones?? No. I have a crappy knee from an injury + surgery in high school, but it's pretty much ok most of the time.
Hugs requiressnacks! summerdonna, sorry about FF! I have a rant about that too (see above...) I think @rama might be right and you may just have not O'd yet/long cycle again.
