Yes, I do O naturally on my own. My doc gave me clomid to hopefully help with egg quality (he says it can but atomic says it doesn't so who knows :shrug: ) and to try to help me O sooner so I can hopefully get preg faster. Our hope is to get me knocked up before the 6 month mark due to a study that seems to show better outcomes in pregs conceived w/in 6 months of a loss... whether that is actually the case is debatable but my doc and I agree that with my history anything we have in our favor is a bonus. My temps are a bit wonky in the start of my cycles but post-O they aren't much for adding hope... then again if you exclude my chem preg cycle I only have one recent chart... last cycle's chart. But it really didn't offer any false hope for me. I got a little excited for a couple days but it was so short lived that it wasn't like I was *sure* I was preg or anything...Quote:

Which is another reason I am hoping to get the study this cycle... to make sure my lining is adequate.
A dip just before or the day of O is pretty common, even in non-clomid charts. Your temps are a smidge wacky on clomid so I can understand why you might not want to temp post-O. I wonder what it is about clomid that makes O so much more painful than normal?! I just keep telling myself it's because it's a "strong O" or a multiple O... anything to get myself through it without screaming, but I do wonder why it actually is so different. :shrug:
