Not Sure If I Want to Bother Temping

I'm on a monitored Clomid cycle.  I will give myself the trigger shot.  I don't think I want to fool with temping.  Any reason I might absolutely need to?

    Hmmm, it's tough. 

    I didn't trigger with any of my Clomid rounds, but for me, Clomid doesn't guarantee that I'll ovulate when I should.  On two rounds of Clomid I ovulated a week late...and wouldn't have known if I wasn't temping.

    But if your triggering it should be more certain.

    Either way, good luck hon!

    does monitoring = u/s and follie checks to let you know when you're about to O and if you did O??

    I know that temps on clomid aren't 'as' reliable as when not on clomid but it's still advised to temp.

    If you're not concerned about confirming O yourself and you really aren't wanting to chart, I can't see the harm in forgoing charting, especially if you have sex e/o/d and your doctor is confirming what's going on.

    does temping drive you nuts?

    if it doesn't and is just part of your day - I would. only b/c during my med/IUI rounds ( I wasn't charting when I just did femara) temping was useful as a comparison especially for knowing about AF arriving. 

    and if for whatever reasons this round of Clomid doesn't work (and I sure hope it does for you) it is good gauge for the future.

     

    if it drives you nuts though, don't.

    m/c#1 07/16/08 (11 weeks), m/c#2 10/10/08 (8 weeks). and then nothing since except every test possible (no answers). IUI#1 and #2: BFNs Super lucky to be buddies with Peetie. Our out of nowhere, surprise DD born 5/29/2011

    Thanks, everyone!  I'll try to get back in the habit of temping again.  As far as monitoring--I did an u/s on CD3 and will do another on CD13 to see if I need to trigger.  I guess if I don't trigger I'll really be glad I'm back in the routine of temping.  They don't do an u/s to confirm that O happened.

    I didn't chart when I was on clomid, I felt that I didn't need that added stress.
