Medicated cycles---do you temp?

LyssRob

Hello, Ladies!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Passover/Easter/weekend.  I've been away for a week for Spring Break (sooo not ready to go back to work tomorrow) and am just catching up on all the TTTC news.

I had my first official CD3 monitoring appointment today, and am starting Clomid tonight.  I'm both excited and nervous at the same time...to my knowledge I have never ovulated, so I really feel like it's our first cycle "trying."

Question: There is no need to temp each morning, right??  It totally stresses me out, and seems silly since I am being monitored.  Is there any benefit?  What do you guys do?

I didn't temp this cycle...especially since I started meds so late in my cycle anyway.  I figured I was being closely monitored there was no reason to.  I kept meaning to start a few days ago just so I could finally see a temp shift but I forgot.  NBD in my opinion because I have my blood results to look at.

I like temping so I am during this cycle. If it stresses you out then no, I wouldn't temp.

I am on my first monitored cycle as well! My RE said there was no need for temping. I've thoroughly enjoyed waking up slowly, rather than frantically reaching for the thermometer when the alarm goes off!

i don't. there is so much monitoring that they do, that i don't see a point.

i just use the time to get more sleep!

Mainly I only temp on the second half of a monitored treatment cycle to see if my temps go up or down in the 2ww, because I like having a slight warning that I might be seeing a BFN.

My RE told me not to temp during medicated cycles.  Many of the meds can make your temps crazy so all it will do is give you something to obsess over!  So I tossed my BBT as soon as she mentioned that.  :-)

I like to confirm my ovulation by temping because I'm paranoid and it gives me a sense of control.  But it doesn't change any of the timing decisions or anything like that.  I don't bother anymore in the 2ww since staarting progesterone supps because they artificially raise bbt.

I like the sense of control temping gives too. If it stresses you out though, don't do it. My RE said I didn't have to but could if I liked.

I took my temp my first cycle on clomid. You can look at my chart from last month compared to previous months. The temps were all over the place. 

But I was told I could temp if I wanted to but it would be no point since the meds would make it o all over the place.

I temp because I like having something to do.
