Does your RE tell you to temp?

Mine tells me not to or says it's not necessary with the OPK and since I've been temping for a year and have a good idea when I O. I found this surprising and am curious what other RE's say.

    No one has ever told me not to, but they haven't said I should keep doing it either.

    There are 2 REs at my clinic.  My normal one never said anything about it one way or the other.  But the other did my IUI this time and told me not to bother.  That temps can tell you that you did ovulate but may not necessarily pinpoint exactly when.  She said that progesterone can start being produced before you actually ovulate so you can get a temp increase but the egg may not have popped out yet.

    Mine told me that there was no need anymore.

    At my first appointment my RE was happy that I had charts to show her.  She didn't say anything about stopping so I still chart.

    My RE rocks and he actually looked over all of my charts when I met with him for the first time. I asked him if I should continue charting and he said it's completely up to me. I've stopped charting now though since we started monitored medicated cycles.. and charting is just annoying to me now. haha.

    He told me not to once we begin our IUI's.  He said it would be a waste of time since my cycle is monitored.

    They didn't mention it either way. And I am glad, b/c it's pointless in my situation.

    My RE is not a charting supporter, in fact he told me that people don't get pg by taking their temps because that doesn't tell you when you will ovulate.  Which is partly true in my thinking, but imagine how floored I was when he said that at our first appt. :) 

    I think he is an awesome RE despite our little disagreement over charting, and I continue to do it without telling him.  He was worried that it would make me obsess and stress me out, but I've been at this long enough that I'm over that stage.  It actually comforts me to see my pattern confirming what the u/s tell me, and I love seeing that temp rise after my triggers.  And as sucky as the temp drops are at the end of a cycle, at least they keep me from having too much false hope. ;)

    My RE said I didn't need to.  My RE nurse (who does the IUIs) knows that I do, which she thinks is funny.  :)  But it works for me - even with the medication and trigger I can see the shift and drop.

    Yes, my RE tells me to chart and always ask for them when I meet with him.  He was on vacation 2 weeks ago and I met with a different doctor in the practice and I gave the nurse my charts when I walked in.  She told me oh, only my RE uses them and he is "old school" and none of the other doctors request them.  How strange!  It just made me laugh.  Hey, we need a laugh through all this, right?Big Smile
