Yea! Onward I Go....

TNgurl · 03-28-2005, 12:41 PM

I went to the doctor today. I have currently been on 1000 mgs of Met. He said that everything looked good on bloodwork so we are to press on. He increased the dosage of Met to 1500 mgs and introduced 100 mgs of Clomid.
So... the plan is to start the Provera and on days 5-9 take the Clomid.
Question: I guess I will start the BBT.... I am SOOO new to this. I have read enough to know how to do it... but, any help or insight would be appreciated!
Thanks again!

Well, first of all Thank you to the moderators that replied. I appreciate you replying.

Question regarding the temping....
I have read going to bed late will affect the temps. I always go to bed around 1 AM ( I do my housework when everyone is asleep!

) - Getting up throughout the night due to son or getting up at different times in the AM. What can I do about this or is this really a factor?

Hi: The important thing about temping is consistency. So any variation from your usual schedule can affect your temps. That said, if your usual schedule is that there is no usual schedule, you might find that you can nevertheless see a pattern of lows before O and highs after because your body could be "used" to the variation. For example, I used to wake up at all different times in the night when I was temping, whether to use the bathroom or because of ds (when I was ttc # 2) and even though my temps looked "rocky" at times, with lots of ups and downs, I could still figure out when I O'd.

If your usual bedtime is 1 a.m., as long as you have 3 or more consecutive hours of sleep before you take your temp, you should be fine. If you take your temp at all different times of the morning, then you might find you have difficulty reading your temps, but maybe not. The best thing is to try your best to stay within an hour of your usual wake-up time and just see what happens!

Good luck
