My chart

JerseyGirl16 · 10-17-2007, 02:50 PM

Hi everyone - I have been laying low the past couple weeks, waiting for it to be "O" time after a 2-month anovulatory cycle last cycle. I am hoping and praying the same thing doesn't happen this cycle.

If you view my chart (link below), you will see that I have had 3 straight days of + OPKs (testing at the same times, twice each day). Any thoughts on that? Not sure what to make of it....

Will be back later to catch up on everyone's posts - running to soccer now. I hope you all are well.

Hi Beth:

You know me, and how I don't know much about temping/charting. So, I am absolutely no help on the matter.

Just wanted to say "hi" and I'm glad to see you.....and I hope it's the beginning of a new, good-kind of wait for you!!!

Looking at your chart, it looks as though you may have ovulated on cd15. You'll have to keep temping/chartng to make sure though.

Good luck!

Hi Beth,

It's Looking Good! I just looked at your chart for today and you had another temp rise!

Good luck!!!

Thanks LA Mom! FF is now showing that I ovulated... holding my breath for more of a rise. I am typically a slow riser, so once I am sure, I will start taking the progesterone...

Hi Beth! I think you might have O'd on either cd 15 or 16. The reason I say maybe cd 16 is that your temp on that day is not higher than your temp on cd 12. But either way, all looks great!

Best of luck and keep us posted++++++++++++

Yea, Beth! So, are you on the progesterone now????

I guess you're already 3 or 4 dpo now, huh?

I hope this is your cycle! You sure paid "your dues" waiting to get in the game last month!

If anyone deserves some results this month, it's you!!

I'm hopin' and prayin' for you........

LAMom,
You are so sweet. Thanks for your encouragement. Last cycle did throw me for a loop, and to be honest, I was pretty pessimistic that I would even ovulate this cycle. But, so far, it appears that I did, so I will be keeping my fingers crossed. Today I was 6 dpo (per FF), but possibly only 5 dpo (per Maura's potential suggestion below). Either way... I did start the progesterone yesterday. My OB had said to do it after the 4th day (I think he gave me the extra time, just in case I hadn't actually ovulated yet). Since I hadn't taken it in a couple months because of my last cycle being anovulatory, I had forgotten about the negative side effects (for me, dizziness, sleepiness, etc.). I know that I could potentially switch to the suppository kind; however, I am constantly telling myself that it's "just for a short time anyway..."

How are you doing? Talk about someone deserving some good luck - that woud definitely be you... I hope this new cycle is the one.

I hope it worked for you this month!!! Keep the faith, girl!

I will keep checking in on you......

You know, I was really thinking that this was going to be my month for the bfp......but, it's really "funny" how things work out! We just found out that we may have end up scheduling a nice long family vacation in early June.....to coincide with some big family events and maybe a reunion. It would be a long road trip... And, if this would've been "the month" then I would've been due right at that time! So, now, we may be putting off the ttc for 3 or 4 months anyway......(and, then MAYBE we'll try for 3 or 4 months right before my b.d. in April) (My birthday has been kind of the "cut off" for us as far as how long we will keep ttc'g.....) So, even though it makes me sad that it didn't work out.....I'm at least glad that we can look forward to the big road trip together. (My 10- and 8-year- olds are very excited about it!!!)

I really didn't notice too many side effects with the progesterone.....but, now that I've stopped it, I am having terrible "stomach" issues. I had a fairly light AF this time around but now I'm having lots of cramps and stomach upset (could just be a stomach bug, I guess).....

Good luck to you, Jersey Girl!!!!! Go Jersey! Go Jersey!
