Melliflous May (part 2)

[shinay]

Ash: i hate not knowing exactly when i O. And i heard as you grow older, the surge becomes shorter and shorter so i guess it is very likely surge and O could be on the same day. When will you know if you can figure out gender early? I hope you get your dream pink bundle.

[emoji24] thank you so much! It really seems so far out of reach like impossible for me to ever have a girl! My first appointment is June 9th I'll find out then if I can have the blood test. If I can't I'll pay for an extra scan on July 22nd

I hope you O this cycle we need more in the ddg! I know it's so hard to try n not stress but it really does delay it. My first cycle I was all in stressin and peeing on everything and I didn't O till cd16 and this cycle after a vacation and trying to just enjoy myself I Od on 13

Shinay I took a look at your chart and it doesn't look like you've ovulated as far as the data shows. I have seen some folks ovulate super late (I did this cycle on CD17). Unless AF has arrived, there's still a chance this cycle. I've also had an anovulatory (when you never ovulate in that cycle) cycle before, about 6 months ago. So if AF does arrive and you don't have a sustained temp spike, that's what likely happened. Lastly, the temps themselves aren't as important as the sustained spike. My follicular phase temps are usually in the low 97s and my luteal phase temps are usually in the high 97s, sometimes low 98s if I'm lucky. If they're lower than that for you in the luteal phase though, you may want to have your progesterone checked. Show your doc your chart.
Hope that's helpful. Pbn will keep me honest! [emoji12]

Shinay, for what it's worth, last cycle I never got a positive opk, but I had horrific cramps and my ob sent me in for an ultrasound that showed I had a cyst on my ovary and that I had ovulated! I couldn't believe it! This cycle, I got a positive opk on CD22 and FF says that I also O'd on CD22, which of course could be wrong! I feel like I should have been testing maybe 3x/day instead of 2 (note that I was also testing at the wrong times, so...). You have to go to the bathroom anyway, so might as well test so that you don't miss it. Maybe 11am, 2pm, and later in the evening? I'm new to all of this, so just my two cents as I'm learning...

Also, with the temp dip yesterday and increase today, could you be Oing today?!

Shinay-I agree that it doesn't look like you've O'd yet based on your chart. I would continue with BD eod to try to catch the egg just in case. I switched to vag temps & it has much more accurate & steady, so I def recommend that for you next cycle if this isn't the one.

Max, I wondered that too about shinay's chart. Maybe it'll keep rising-fx!! Can't wait to hear pbn's take on this!

I think Max and Lola might be right. You may be in the middle of O right now, shinay.

Ash: i hope they will let you do the bloodtl test early
Tell me about it. This is my 1st month so definitely more stressed out than usual. I poas any chance i got lol...with delayed O. I almost finished my cb pack. I will need to buy more after work today haha. Debating between regular cb or advanced cb. Any thoughts?

Dreaming: over here, you cant see doctor till you have tried for at least a year. A year is a long time. Not sure if i can endure that long. I hope i have no issue with progesterone. Maybe just an odd cycle due to stress.

Max: i am an addict so i do test 3x a day when i got closer to my usual O day lol. Morning, 1pm and around 7-8pm. i hope that i would get a smiley after lunch today. If digi cb just fails to pick up my surge, i do hope i O later on today so we can put in one more attempt. Else we only have 1 attemp and it is O-2!
