Hi Honeykiss,

I have some great EWCM today (eww), and think I've figured out how to get the link to my FF chart.

I've only just started and I'm very irregular, but I'm fairly certain this isn't what it's supposed to look like.

Thanks for any input!!

Hi Canada...

What are you doing online?? Go an jump on your DH with your EWCM!!! My guess is you will see a temp rise in the next day or so. When your temp does go up keep BD for insurance purposes. Well if you can, if your like me by then you may well be knackered..lol

I had a peek at your chart, Couldn't tell much from it but the fact you have had several days of EWCM is a good sign, looks like your body is gearing up to O.
I know you mentioned in a previous post your results said you was not Oing but was this based on blood tests on CD21 by any chance? How long were your previous cycles? You may have been Oing but just not strong enough.

Have a great evening....

O Canada · 03-18-2008, 07:40 PM

Bloods have been taken on days 24, 26 and 28 previously. Means a very sore arm on those cycles.
My cycles have ranged from 22 to 68 days, though probably average at around 34-46. Last two have been 31 and 35, before that it was 46 and 54, then down to 31 and 27, and up again to 47....I've been tracking my cycle for nearly three years, and it's more regular since starting, though still all over the map.

Thanks for your advice. I'll keep an eye on the temp and see what happens.

Do you know if it's essential that it's 7DPO? Would 8 or 9 matter? It's not really convenient with the Easter break.

Hi Canada,

You have just made me realise I was going to go in for bloods on Good friday!!!.

My fertility nurse did say 7DPO would be the best ay, I will mail her and ask her advice and let you know.

Hi Canada,

I have just had an email back from the fertility nurse. She has advised me to go in at 6DPO (Thursay) as I cannot go on Friday. Hope that helps.

Thanks, that's helpful.

I'll wait for a rise in temperature before I go again, and hopefully 7dpo isn't on a holiday.

siany22 · 03-19-2008, 03:29 PM

O Canada · 03-19-2008, 04:51 PM

On a cycle of clomid should I not have O'd by day 22?

I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Canada,

In an ideal word we would all O on CD14 and AF would arive on CD28 unless we were PG.

I have read lots of messages on various different boards and whilst a lot of ladies do O early with Clomid there are plenty that do not.

I asked the Nurse this very same question as on an unmedicated cycle I thought I was Oing betwen CD16 right upto CD23.

She said Clomid did sometimes bring the O day forward but not always. She asked me about my normal cycle and I confirmed it could be 33/34/35 days. She explained as long as they see follicle development as it should be then it doesn't matter when you O.

My first moniored cycle nothing started really happening until CD17, I thought I was going to O on CD14 how wrong was I because that first cycle it was CD22. I do also think that sometimes stress plays a part, the more we worry the longer it all seems to take.
If AF arrives this cycle I am glad I am not going to be moniored again as I feel the stress of going back and forth to the hospital didn't really help.

Have a look at the FF chart gallery, plenty of BFP's to ladies who O'd much later in their cycles with clomid.

I really do think it may do you good to have a monitored cycle, it really helped me to know I was producing some follicles with he help of the clomid.

Mind you I just have to wait a few more days now to confirm it all really is happening with the Prog tests. Going this afternoon and maybe have results next week.

Hang in there.

Don't be suprised if your temp drops slightly tomorrow, I reckon if it does you will see a rise on Saturday to confirm you have O'd.

Wendy

O Canada · 03-21-2008, 07:42 AM

Wow! Wendy, it's like you can predict the future!
Temp drop today. Fingers crossed for a rise tomorrow.
DH and I have been very busy BDing. I'm looking forward to the 2ww.

At my next appointment with the RE I'll ask for them to monitor the cycle more closely to see if I have eggies developing as they should.

Good luck with your prog test. I'm going to make an appointment for the second one in a week's time.

Hi Ladies,

So... I took my temps twice today and I'm confused.

I was up later than normal, but took my temp at the normal time (36.5). It was up from yesterday, which was really low (36.2). I'd only slept for about 4 hours though. I went back to sleep and slept another 4, and took the temp again (after the normal 8 hours of sleep I like to get - on the weekends at least). It was at 36.8.

Do I go with the one after the normal amount of sleep, or the one at the normal time I would take it?

Hi Canada .

I would be temptd to go with the higher temp but I think in reality you should go with the first temp as this was taken at the same time you would normally temp. You can always make a note of the other temp in the notes section.

FF does have a thing called a temperature corrector, not sure how its used but you could ry that as well.

Wait and see if you have a high temp today and then maybe put them both in.

Wendy
