**TWW Tuesday***

[papm951214]

Hi TWW ladies - I have a question  -

I had bloodwork done to test my progesterone levels last friday to see if I ovulated. They came back at an 8, and the nurse doesn't think I ovulated. She said they prefer to see it at 10-15. FF said I ovulated and gave me firm crosshairs.

Which is right?

CD 1 for me now.......officially the strangest cycle to date for me. My DH was in the hospital this month so I think the stress got to me more than I thought. I think I'm also going to temp vaginaly this month. Argggg just so impatient haha. 

Ugh......talk about horrible cramps too. wonderful consolation prize.

FX to everyone. Let's hope for a November baby for me see you on WTO.

Are they are mutually exclusive? Couldn't you have ovulated and still have lower than average progesterone levels? (I know there is an increase after ovulation, etc etc, but not everyone is going to see the same level of the hormone in their blood.) If not, I'd trust your bloodwork over an online app, even though it is a great online app. Did you show your chart to the nurse?

I logged into desktop FF, went to my chart and right underneath there is a button labeled "share." Click that and it will gives you all the codes you could possibly need. On PB you the bbCode so pick what you want to display (whether it be just the link, your whole chart, or your ticker) copy the code and paste it wherever you need it.

Sorry for the BFNs & CD1s ladies
FX for everyone preparing to test.

Cycle: 2/2

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Temp drop this morning, and feeling as though CD1 will be tonight or tomorrow. I'm happy with my first month of temping. I learned so much and am so grateful for this board! Getting in the mindset to focus on February FW

GTKY: What are your favorite blizzard activities? Sex, cuddling, movies/catching up on DVR, cooking/baking - yup, that's everything I have done today.

papm951214 If you had it done last friday you would've been 4DPO? I'm not a doctor, but maybe thats too early? On the Trouble Trying to Conceive blog its says this test is normally done at 7DPO to confirm ovulation.

<snippet>
P4 (progesterone)- This test needs to be done 7DPO and is one of the few tests that is not done on CD3. It is performed 7DPO to confirm ovulation. Some OB’s do this test on day 21 because this would be 7 DPO on an average 28 day cycle, but very few ladies have an average cycle, therefore it is important that it is done 7DPO for accurate results. The level should be above 10 ng/ml for a non-medicated cycle and above 15 ng/ml for medicated cycles.

Oh good! I am usually so horrible at explaining things but I was like "Finally, this is something I know!" 

Always glad to help. lol

Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 25/7

Timing: low

Testing Plans: when AF Dosen't come or 14dpo

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I'm feeling very optimistic. Temps have been very high, on average .7 higher than cover line. Some cramping. Trying not to get my hopes up.

GTKY: What are your favorite blizzard activities?
No blizzard down here. I would love a couple days in the snow. If I was living where there was a blizzard I would enjoy some days off, relax with some movies and toes roasting in the fire. Sound glorious, until I would have to shovel snow. I don't know his y'all do that. Looks awful!

[butlerfan]

Cycle: 3

CD/DPO:20cd/ 6 dpo

Timing:high

Testing Plans:around 14dpo

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:It's my H's birthday,

GTKY: What are your favorite blizzard activities? Reading, watching the snow from inside, drinking, sex, watching tv/movies, playing games

[lepeters]

Okay I finally got my avatar working. Took me like 45 minutes tonight. First it was to big and then it was sideway. I wanted to keep it the same as when I was at the other place with you ladies.

Cycle: 4/5

CD/DPO: 28/ 11 or 7 ??

Timing: okay

Testing Plans: not sure

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: so when I put my positive OPK it gives me O on CD21 but if I take it out and just go based on temp it gives me CD17. So I have no idea. My temp has gone down a bit the last two days but I have no spotting (which I usually have for 4 days before AF since getting off the pill). Why are bodies so confusing. Should I go based on my temp only O date??

GTKY: What are your favorite blizzard activities?
Sleeping, eating, and watching movies. I wish I had a snow day.

Cd/dpo: 30/10

Timing: good

Testing plans: maybe Saturday at 14 dpo?

Rant/rave/chartstalk: ugh. My temp dropped this am to my cover line. I did sleep with an open mouth last night but still. Not feeling too great about this. I feel like I'm coming down with something too. Probably a cold. And since first month charting, nothing to compare to. Well see tomorrow. Chartstalk plz?

Gtky: not work that's for sure! I love to movie marathon and sew. And read. Yaaaay.

Well, it's hard to know for sure if this is your first cycle charting, but my temp usually drops the day before or the day my period starts. But, at the same time, I've had one off drops that didn't mean anything and it went right back up the next day. (Well, until it dropped again for my period.) 

The thing with the charts is, you will find charts with temps just like yours on all kinds of charts. Pregnancy or just ovulatory. The temps themselves mean very little, and can't really predict a pregnancy. A triphasic pattern can mean pregnancy, but those are uncommon.
