My (super interesting) intro

TTCbabyR

Hey there! My intro isn't really super interesting, although I should probably wait to reveal that until the end.
Low egg reserve, slightly high FSH, PCOS, Endo, and hashimotos......oh and I'm late 30's. Doctor straight away recommended IVF but we are gonna keep trying on our own Until the new year. I have never received a positive ovulation test and at this point I'm obviously concerned. I have 19-26 day cycles. I just purchased a digital monitor I will start using after my next cycle. I tried charting my temp but it was all over the place . I showed my chart to the doctor and he said not to even do it anymore! Sigh.....I know my story is just like everyone else's, we're all facing the same struggles.

First hello and welcome!

Many things can impact your temps.  FF will give you an open circle if you are more than 30 minutes off from your normal temp time.  If you temp at different times, with less than 3 hours of solid sleep, after drinking, or if you are a mouth breather, your temps might be off.  Temping vaginally can help.  I like FF and their tutorials.  They can teach you a lot about charing.  TCOYF is also a great read that can help with lots of things.  It also has a special section on infertility.  Also, there is a thread pinned at he top titled Newbies read this first Ultimate TTGP guide, or something like that,  it is another great resource.  Good Luck!

Welcome! Glad to have you here. So sorry about the issues you're having, it's easier for some people to track their BBT but for others it just doesn't make sense. Everyone is different but I wish you good luck with the monitor, I'll keep my FX for you! Hope your stay here is short!

Welcome. Many women don't see a true positive on opks. You may have a short surge and could be missing it. Most women seem to get a positive opk in early afternoon. I would strongly suggest you keep on temping because it's the only way you can confirm O. Make sure you are temping at the same time every day, after 3 hours of sleep.
