Ugh -- I just want to O already!

brooklynesque

It's my first normal, natural cycle in months -- and my last chance to get KU before IVF.  I'm getting annoying mixed signals about O -- according to my CBEFM, I should have O'd three days ago, but I got positive OPKs Saturday and Sunday.  And still no temp rise.  My husband is tired.  ;-)  If I don't get a temp rise tomorrow a.m. I'm going to have to take a couple of days off regardless out of sheer fatigue.

And if my O is very delayed, I may have to push off my IVF -- the embryology lab at my clinic is shutting down for maintenance for a week at some point in late April, so if AF doesn't make an appearance before April 4 I'm sunk.  And I may not be able to do a May cycle because I'll be out of the country starting mid-month.

Annoying!  Anyway, thanks for reading my vent, if you've made it this far.

ETA:  clarification about nature of the lab shutdown.

Ugh.  That is frustrating!  Hope you get some clear signs soon!

That would be frustrating. Hang in there...if you O'd on your 2nd +OPK you've got a couple more days of temps before you get your crosshairs.  I hope it all lines up.

Ugh I can totally relate to the dreaded lab shut down threatening to screw things up. It's so frustratingon top of all the other stuff to stress about. I hope you O soon and have a successful natural cycle! Good luck

Ugh-- I can totally relate to having mixed signs. My temp rise, OPK, and CM didn't match up at all last cycle... usually, only 1 of them won't match up.

But it sounds like you're under some serious time crunch. That totally bites chunks! 

Sending you some serious O juju... Definitely keep us posted for the temp shift!

brooklynesque

Thanks, you guys.  My temp went up + .25 today, which is the right direction, at least.

I also ordered a new thermometer -- I've noticed I'm not getting as much variation in temps as I was a few months ago, so I figured I should rule out thermometer issues going forward.

Even if I can't pinpoint what day I O -- I'd just like to see temps in the 98 range (my usual post-O range) so I know I'm in my LP and can look forward to AF by the end of the month!   

Good luck to everyone going through something similar!

Oh, how frustrating!  LOL at your husband is tired though.  I'm glad you ordered a new therm, that a nice, cheap & easy temp rise check.  I saw that your temp did rise a little, so FX that you O'd!  Hopefully you'll still be on track for IVF!

Hnag in there!

Hope you get your temp rise, def check the thermometer, I bought a new one a few weeks ago and noticed it's a full degree lower than all my other ones, kind of odd..

Girl - we are on the exact same schedule. This is my last hurrah before I sink $12000 into IVF next month. I am not holding my breath but I did my part in giving this last month my all. And boy, we are so tired. I also was relieved to see my temp rise this morning - finally! I need a night off...never thought I would say that but it's true.

Hang in there and I'll be checking in on you.

I hear ya on that!  My LH surge would last for 4-5 days from the initial smiley face on an OPK before a temp shift.  I would be so worn out by the 5th day!

It's when I really start to feel the "over 35" part of "TTC over 35."  ;-)

Don't panic yet. You still have 3 weeks for your luteal phase at this point.

Fx for a temp rise tomorrow morning.
