Crazy level from 1-10:10

CD/DPO:34/14

Can I just _start or have a BFP__ already?!:

Signs/Symptoms: no period

Explain your Crazy here: I've haven't had a cycle this long in over 1 year. The average cycle length has been 28/29 days. My temp is still up and I have no signs of starting or signs of pregnancy. My last lp was 9 days, this lp is now pushing 14 days. I'm glad my lp has increased but am freaking myself out!! BFN's are killing my soul one at a time. Blahhhhhhhh.

How frustrating! I'm so sorry you're in limbo. FX you get an answer one way or another really really soon.

That is all.

Do you know that the first thing I did this morning even before posting this here train was checking out your chart? So, I don't know what to say I think CD20 is probably very likely but I'm not sure. Those 3 steady lower temps are throwing me for a loop!!!!! ((HUGS)) FX for you mlal, I cannot even begin to imagine how incredibly stressful this is.

That is all.

I dont know what the heck to make of your chart.  Maybe O yesterday based on that + OPK and the temp this morning?  But then there is that sticky CM (things I never thought I'd talk about on the internet)...   (((HUGS)))  I hope you see some CHs soon!

HeyMrsPotter

@MommaAshley12, I'm sorry this cycle has been so crazy. Repeated BFNs are so discouraging. I hope you get an answer soon.

@mlal78, how frustrating! I can see why you're feeling 8-}. ((HUGS))

CD/DPO: 26/13

Can I just ______ already?!: Get AF if she's coming

Signs/Symptoms: I'm a couple days past what I think is my normal LP, but temps are dropping

Explain your Crazy here: I rarely have a cycle this long, and I think my LP is usually much shorter too, but this is only my 3rd cycle of charting so I probably don't have enough history to be sure. Either way, AF isn't here, but I'm getting nothing but (edited!) BFNs. *sigh.* 

MH and I have a getaway planned for the long weekend ahead. I'd been hoping we might be celebrating a BFP but now it looks like AF will be tagging along instead.

I think you meant BFNs right? With the temp drop, I'm thinking that AF is coming any day now. I'm so sorry.

Yes. D'oh. BFNs. Sorry for the confusing typo there. Yes, I'm pretty sure she's coming, too. Thanks for the response.

I totally hear you. Facing those suckers every morning sucks. Fingers crossed that your temp is a good sign! (((hugs)))

I'm not a frequent rider, but today I'm going off the rails on the crazy train

Crazy level from 1-10: 9

CD/DPO: CD11 and I better not be any DPO

Can I just __O when I'm supposed to____ already?!:

Signs/Symptoms: A temp that was way too high this morning

Explain your Crazy here:This is my first clomid cycle so I'm not sure how my body is going to react to it. I have my CD12 US tomorrow and then expect to know when we should do the IUI. I wasn't even going to temp this cycle, since I have people telling me when I'll ovulate.

I did anyway, starting CD10. Normal pre-O temp on CD10. Then last night I slept like crap. I had a dream that somebody put a creepy crawly thing down the back of my shirt and I woke up gasping at 3:30 am. I even woke the dog up. I couldn't get back to sleep until after 4:30 and then woke up at 6:45 to temp. 97.73, which is right where I am usually post-O. It was hot last night and I was feeling sweaty when I woke up, plus the crappy sleep may have made the temp unreasonably high. I took the covers off and laid there for awhile and retemped 97.48.

So did I O early, completely wasting a clomid cycle because DH is out of town this week and there's no chance that there was a live sperm anywhere near me?
OR - am I freaking out for nothing because this temp is bogus?

Somebody slap me and tell me to STFU because whichever is the case, I'll find out tomorrow at the US and there's nothing I can do about it.

oh man ((hugs)) how stressful. I don't know much about clomid or how it affects your cycle and temp. Unfortunately, your chart doesn't have enough temps for me to even make a guess at whether you Oed or not. However, I wouldn't trust that temp you got today AT ALL. Do you have OPKs handy? Maybe start using those to keep track of what's going on. Maybe also call your doctor and explain the situation, maybe they can get you in for an U/S to ease your mind. FX that you haven't Oed yet love. I'm also going to call @buggirl72 in on this one. She might have some better advice.

Okay, @Veganlady breathe.  Clomid can (and more than likely will) raise your temp. Last cycle I started clomid on CD3, by CD5 my temp was up to above my normal coverline and it continued to climb and stay up until CD10 (clomid stopped on CD7).  I also got hot flashes (night sweats would be an understatement). Clomid can also delay ovulation - I did not O until CD18 (normal 14) and this cycle was delayed also (blaming the clomid since it will sit in your system).

I know you are a few days out from stopping your clomid but one temp cannot tell you much. At this point, you need to wait for tomorrow and see what the u/s shows (much easier said than done).

I also agree with Pink about using OPKs. I got about a week of false positives while on clomid when I tested before 9 a.m. but got negatives when I waited until later. It messes with your head but the monitoring u/s definitely showed I was no where near Oing at that point.

FX that it's just a wonky temp and that tomorrow shows you have a couple nice fat follies that are still growing.

I'll punch a ticket today!  I'm starting to feel a little crazy.  I stopped temping, and pretty much stopped charting for the most part, other than to record meds, etc.  Based on my trigger, I'm pretty sure I O'd last Wednesday/Thursday.  So I'm about a week past ovulation.  And yesterday I ordered all of my meds for my next cycle (because my insurance changes tomorrow, my nurse is awesome and processed it early so we'd have some coverage!).  And now I'm convinced this cycle may actually be a success.  I won't even let myself test until a week from tomorrow, because I'm paranoid about getting a false positive from the trigger shot, so I have a long way to go...

FX for you!!! Hopefully the next week is kind to you. I agree on holding off on testing - I've heard too many heartbreaking stories about ladies testing trigger positive. ((HUGS))

Crazy level from 1-10: 8 CD/DPO: CD 13 Can I just ______ already?!: o already Signs/Symptoms: nothing I have a migraine again I hate these things. I always get migraines with hormone fluctuations Explain your Crazy here: I am not interested in bding I finally finished the 11 day AF and I was so excited to get this show on the road but I'm so tired at the end of the day. School starting and redoing our prenatal class and group it just seems I'm way busier than usual. No naps anymore.. sad. Must have the sex not just tell dh to do it while I lay there which I did last night.

CD13 is still really early for O by comparison to many ladies here. Are you using OPKs and temping? if you are, I don't see a link to your chart.

FX you O soon!

Thank you so much @pinkcamino and @buggirl72! I took the clomid CD3-7 so I'm all done with it now. I do notice changes in amount of CM so it's entirely reasonable that other things are different too. In fact, I probably shouldn't have even temped, since I don't know how the clomid is going to affect that. The CD10 temp being exactly where I usually am pre-O and the CD11 temp being exactly where I usually am post-O just really put the zap on my head.

I do have OPKs I can start using after work. Tomorrow I will see what the nice folks in lab coats think.

*deep breath*

@Veganlady FWIW, I believe you (usually) O between 5 - 10 days after taking Clomid. So Day 11 is too soon if your last pill was CD7.

@Myfirstraspberry I did read that 5-10 day time frame in the drug facts with the prescription. I'm just freaking out that I'm a hyper-responder or something. I must remind myself I am not that special. All mystery will be revealed in the morning at the US.

Good luck tomorrow!!

Thanks! So I just stalked you and it looks like you're set up to O right about 10 days after the end of the clomid. Good luck to you too!!

Yes ma'am. I am gearing up to O might be today but no later than tomorrow. My past charts showed that I O'ed the same day as +OPK. I'll find out in the morning.  Thanks for the well wishes.
