EWCM after thermal shift

[atomic sagebrush]

I cannot get that chart to expand big enough to see and frankly I am NOT convinced. FF gets things wrong all the time. Could be a stairstep rise.

why open dots?

I still think you Oed earlier, FF is getting confused by one measly high temp back on CD 5 (the CD 1 temp is too early to count) but it doesn't matter. It is totally irrelevant for the reason I mentioned before, the CD 18 attempt would have likely been too late because if anything was left from CD 15, it would have fertilized the egg before the CD 18 attempt would even have had time to capacitate.

I think no matter how you slice it you are in with about 1 viable attempt.

Hi Atomic! Finally officially out at CD 33 and 15DPO. Any tips for attempt #3? I set an RE appt. For the 29th. Anything I need to know beforehand? What should I discuss?

[atomic sagebrush]

Tell me everything you did and then I can tell you what to tweak.

We BD 3 days before O and day of O because I felt like I had missed the LH surge. I ovulated really late for some reason. No J&D, missionary, legs up in the air for 5 minutes. Is there anything that I need to tell RE next week? Here is my chart.

Anything else?? Diet, supps, jellies, etc?

I suspect this probably just wasn't the best timed attempts. Bad luck. Next month you'll probably have better luck and be in with attempt on O-2 or 1 and that is better odds of conception. I also strongly suggest continuing BD even after you think you ovulated because due to open circle I"m not totally sure you Oed when you think you did (given that LP was 15 days) I agree it looks that way given the chart but even one day of difference may have mattered.

you could also try laying down longer - increase to 15-30 min

I'd tell RE that you've been TTC for several months but don't push him/her for anything. They get weird if you go in with too many questions.

Oh yes! Been on LE 17 weeks straight. Super strict. Still only taking folic. Fiber every once in a while because I'm on the road so much and it scares me. Hubby ran out of OLE. Need to find more. Not easy. No jellies at all.

[atomic sagebrush]

Let's loosen up a bit now. No more fiber anyway. Add in zinc 8-15 mg 3x a week, iodine 150 IU daily (unless you have thyroid issues in which case ask doc first) and iron 18-30 mg 3x a week. 10-15 min of sun on bare skin daily.

Ok. Is this for just me or the both of us? I must admit that I'm nervous about supplementing. How much does this decrease my chances by?
