TTC after 35

5 days +OPK - all around weird cycle

I've been on Estradiol this month since day 12 and on Day 14 I got a +OPK, and then I continued to get +OPK still today (day 18). That's 5 days of +. My temp finally rose today after I freaked out about the Estradiol potentially halting ovulation and stopped it for 2 days. So today I start Prometrium. But what to make of 5 days of + OPK's? This is so weird, I just can't make sense of this cycle at all.

Hope you had some fun this week-end!

  • Hi Mt.,

    Nice to "see" you! No word from the doctor yet...I sent her an e-mail yesterday and I am sure she is swamped today. I will be curious to see what she says though. I am finally less stressed about my week-end confusion. I think my pomegranate white tea, chocolate covered almonds, good music, and working from home might be helping.

    Would love to hear what is up with you if you feel like sharing!

  • Glad you're feeling less stressed about it. That temp. rise should be reassuring. I can't remember, did you take any stims this cycle?

    I'm doing well - we went camping/hiking for a few days, and both felt less stressed coming back.

    Of course, today we find out that DH's next uro. appointment, which was supposed to be this Thurs., got cancelled and rescheduled for 8/25 Hmm! So, we're trying to get his b/w results sent to us. We wanted to have that end of things tied up before seeing the RE next week to talk IVF (unless by some miracle, I get a BFP this weekend). That's where we're at!

    I hope you hear from your doctor soon for extra peace of mind.

     I didn't take any stims this cycle. Next cycle is HSG and then the following cycle is Femara/Gonadraphins. 

    Booooo on that appointment re-schedule. That is so irritating. When I met with the first ob/re, she had to re-schedule due to a stomach flu for an month later. That really peeved me. August is just way far.  Hopefully you can convince them to see you a bit earlier. This waiting is tough.

    On a lighter note - glad you had some fun camping!  I'll cross my fingers that you get a miracle BFP this week-end. We could use some of that around here.
