@laeberge3 You know, I really don't know? I am always very very hydrated and have occasionally wondered if I don't drink too much water to have ewcm. I swapped out some water for the things I hear are good for cm, but so far things are about the same as usual. 50 mg may be too low a dose to interfere with anything.

@mommyamp and @uhlease13 - I got pg my third cycle after my first loss but am now entering my fourth cycle after my 2nd loss. Lets hope being fertile post mc extends to 4 cycles? And Im very sorry for your loss mommyamp.
CD 2. Last cycle was my first cycle temping which I did not do very well with due to the holidays and new pup. Gonna buckle down and be more consistent with it. Started using FF so I think that will help. Now I need to order new opks - might splurge and do CBs and wondfos this cycle. Still think I have timing issues so would really like to have great timing this cycle and of course get a BFP. haha
I'm at CD6 and this AF has hit me pretty hard. The lingering into day 6 is like AF is taunting me. Ugh. I'm looking forward to FW next week, but I'm also a little anxious about the testing my DH will be having. He's having prostrate trouble, so we're trying to have sperm analysis done as part of his work up. Since we know I have pituitary issues on my side already, we want to know if there's anything on his side we should be considering.
Thanks ladies! I'm sure everything is fine with DH, but it'll be nice to have that reassurance. Though he dropped a bombshell today that he has to do training all through May in an area of Florida that is questionable for Zika. If we don't have a BFP by then looks like the we'll be benched indefinitely between Zika and deployments this year and next. Really can't catch a break this week with TTC stress.
Yowza I am aware of my ovaries. I get sharp pains every ten minutes or so on the right side and my breasts are sore af. I don't get O pains at all; I suspect that's what's gonna happen. Come on, egg(s), be healthy and gigantic

@reneeannemm FX for healthy, gigantic and really fertile eggs!!
I think I go here now : ( Just waiting for the full flow to hit me. I can feel it in my back a little and there was another temp drop this morning.
It's 3 months post mc, I know it's not too long of a time but I'm kinda bummed. I guess the myth that mcs make you more fertile did not apply to me.
Last week I had to call my insurance company for something and I figured I asked about fertility coverage. My plan seems pretty decent, it'll cover a lifetime of 5 IVF and IUIs and AIs don't count.
I have a yearly appointment scheduled with my gyn late March. They had said to call if I didn't get pg again in 6 months. March would be 5 months. Hopefully she is receptive and can start some preliminary testing.

So I took a test this morning and it was low. This is the first time testing twice a day and got a flashing smiley this afternoon. Last month I had solid smiley on CD 10. DH and I started BD last nigh so I guess we will DTD for the next few nights!
Well I haven't caught up on here really. I'm out this cycle. Ugh!! Had to go for that mammogram. Now I need 2 diff kinds of biopsies. They don't think it is anything but they have to make sure and since I will need a mammogram after I can't get pregnant. So frustrating!!!
@sprkls8506Sending good thoughts your way! If it helps, I've had two pretty large biopsies and duct removals when the doctors were sure it was bad and everything turned out benign. I was told that happens a lot, but that it's better to be safe than sorry.
@sprkls8506 Good thoughts coming your way! @laoster Welcome, sorry for your loss. Gl with TTCAL; we're here to help out on bad days or to hopefully answer some questions that might pop up.
Can I get a chart stalk? I hate this part of waiting, trying to confirm O. Fertility Friend has a very irritating habit of putting my O date on the day of my first positive OPK no matter what my temps do, unless I put two days of positives in a row. I caught my surge (Wondfo) at the very, very beginning, as it was negative earlier in the afternoon and just on the edge of reading positive that evening. To be honest, my reproductive bits hurt and so do DH's and we do not want to HIO today, but I don't want to waste the Clomid. I chart in Celsius, but I think the website will let you change to your very mysterious Fahrenheit. Here is the link to my chart. I think, knowing both my body and my past cycles, that I have ovulated, but it'd be nice to have another opinion or two. Thank you!

@reneeannmm I think you are right with temp, OPK, and cramping / O pain.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
I'm trying to pinpoint O... I had the beginning of my surge on the 18th in the morning. And the peak was the next morning. Did FF get my O date right? This is my first time ever charting and opks.
@NYTino24 Thanks a lot. I think we'll leave it be then.
@justsuzie I often get that fallback rise pattern (only applicable if the temp falls on 2dpo to around coverline) but you may have also O'd on Friday the 20th. With more temps it'll be clearer. How was your CM after CD13?

It could be right, but it may also be on Jan. 20, especially if you had your surge on the 18th and peak on the 19th. I've always ovulated 24-48 hours after my positive OPK reading. My temps also always read below 98 degrees before ovulation and above 98 degrees after ovulation (everyone is different in that regard), but my guess would be you ovulated on Jan. 20, cycle day 15. If you have another high temp tomorrow and the next day, FF may move your ovulation date forward. Hope that helps!
@justsuzie could still go either way, but ruling out clarifying temps in the next few days I'd go with FF's interpretation for now. It gets easier to read as you have even a couple more charts!

@justsuzie Are you recording OPKs in FF? Looks good to me, but a few more temps will hopefully make it more clear. My preO temps are usually lower than yours, but this cycle (first since MC) aren't, so I am also having the same issue... except mine haven't dropped yet and I'm on CD15. Sorry I can't help more!

Like @reneeannemm said, it does get much easier to interpret after you've been temping for a few months and have more of a baseline and know what's normal for you. As a rule of thumb, I usually continue to BD every other day after FF pinpoints ovulation until I'm pretty sure FF has my ovulation date right, as I've had a few charts like yours where they showed I ovulated, but then my date was pushed forward a few days later on when my temps increased even more.
My temps pre-O after loss were wild and pretty high well after my period had ended, for at least six months. I stopped charting for several months and when I started back up again with acupuncture in November, they were back to stable and low.
