Thanks Pbn - I don’t chart religiously but just do the occasional temp to see where my cycle is, especially if I have confusing opks!Quote:

This is the fourth cycle (also on 5mg Femara) and I think I ovulated day 23 but can’t be sure as no clear post opk. Temp rise today.
MachesterMrs those are two very short lp's, and not what I would believe long enough to support a pregnancy (6 - 8 days). Not impossible but I would think unlikely. Is that why your taking femara? To try and lengthen lp?

I am taking Femara primarily to sway but also thought it might help with lp.Quote:

Thanks for any advice. I just got my pos opk now (day 24) so this morning’s temp rise must have been a fluke.
I deserve a title for Most Ridiculous GenderDreaming User Ever.
I am 1 DPO and I think I'm pregnant. 1.
not even close LOLQuote:

So in a month you are high in estrogen and then high in progesterone, you may notice megasymptoms from hormones during and after ovulation that are caused by high hormone levels and NOT pregnancy, but those same hormone levels may make you more likely to end up conceiving that same month. So it can be confusing to people who are pretty darn sure they notice symptoms just after O, but mistake them for pregnancy when in reality the pregnancy does not cause symptoms for another week or so. :)
How sure are you about when you're ovulating?Quote:

Hi atomic,
Thanks as always for the response!
I am doing eggs per week and one serving of full fat dairy but only really started doing this in the last couple of weeks. My luteal phase was short when I was TTC number two - it weirdly lengthened by exactly a day each month until I got to 8 days and then I got pregnant.
Can I get tested for hypothyroid / PCOS etc while on femara? If so, I guess no harm in going to the docs to get stuff tested.
My mum had irregular periods and so did my Grandma (both had chronic infertility) so maybe being a late ovulater runs in the family. I haven’t had one cycle the same yet but then again I only have a few cycles to go on as I conceived my first son on cycle 2 and my second son on cycle 4.
I am fairly sure I ovulate when I think I do. My pos opk, cm and o pains back it up.
I religiously opk. I think I am actually going to stop next cycle as it is causing me too much anxiety. I am a natural born worrierer - for example, my latest worry is that I have really high testosterone/ am hypothyroid or something which is causing late ov and my chances for a girl are doomed.
Unfortunately atomic & ladies it’s like clockwork the same as last month despite trying clomid later (5-9) to give my estrogen a chance to get going. Yesterday CD24 I had one bit of spotting & was so Hopeful it was implantation, but I have got up to see more AF like bleeding.
I think maybe it’s time for me to realise that my boys are my happy ever after & start living. I am so tired, tired physically & emotionally, tired of being scared of getting sick from my kids germs, tired of living daily for the future instead of being in the now. I don’t know if I can ever find a balance whilst I keep on this journey I’ve been on for years.
Our 2015 angel [emoji72] birthday should be next month, and then our recent successful baby girl HT loss [emoji72] should be due in July. Plus the transfers that didn’t take, they all carry heartache all the time, but dates on a calendar really make their mark.
Is it time to concede defeat, to give up in clomid, just let go of swaying?
Is my body even capable?
I’m sorry to burden you all with such heaviness but please know if I do disappear I am doing some soul searching, lots of crying & perhaps smashing a bag of crisps, some ice cream &/or chocolate for a day or 2, & then torturing myself with guilt [emoji51].
But if I’m not here, please know that I am still 100% thinking of you ladies fighting for your dreams & hoping beyond hope that you indeed get your happily ever after, you all deserve that xoxo thank you for hoping the same for me the last 2 months, it has meant the world [emoji847]
I may try in June, but I don’t know what I should do regarding the clomid, maybe 25mg would be more successful?
