TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Not Charting is even more stressful

So, DH and I agreed that I would "take a break" from temping this cycle.  He felt like it was stressing me out, and I was just getting bitter about having to wake up early.

Well, not temping has stressed me out even more!  I'm pretty sure I've O'd already, but I can't be certain.  And, I'm supposed to go for 7DPO testing this cycle, but I think I O'd earlier than normal, but again, I really have no idea.

Should I call the doctor and possibly change the date of my appointment?  Maybe even wait until next cycle since I don't have confirmation of O at all?

Sorry that this is more of a newbie question....but thank you in advance!

Re: Not Charting is even more stressful

  • Ok, I get suspending charting b/c it's stressing you out, but if you needed a 7dpo appointment, you really needed to chart! I would wait till next cycle for the 7dpo testing. Otherwise, without confirmation of when you Oed, it's really not that useful and could cause more undue stress.

  • I would wait until next cycle and chart to confirm O. If you test too early, you'll get a low P4 result even though you may not have a problem. Here's a chart of the hormone levels in your cycle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MenstrualCycle3.png You can see how the P4 level stays low until after O.

  • Thanks, ladies!  I was thinking this, but guess I just needed some confirmation!  I will call on Monday to put off my appointment until next cycle.
