TTC after 35

going c.r.a.z.y. (mcirish, you can relate...)

i'm cd16 ... the average day that i usually get a 'peak' on the CBEFM ... but i've only had 'high' since cd11.  i've been using the CBE digital OPK 2 (sometimes 3) times a day for the past few days ... all neg!!!!

had an u/s last week (thursday, cd9) and i had a 'plump' 16mm follicle.  doc thought that i would get a +OPK sometime that weekend.  it's been a whole WEEK ... and nada.

since i normally get a 'peak' on cd16 ... i've been trying to temper my freak out ... but now that the damn thing didn't cooperate today ... i'm.totally.losing.it.

will call the RE this morning (meant to do it yesterday ... but again, didn't want to prematurely freak out) ... see what they have to say.  i do have some ovidrel ... but they probably won't want me to take it without an u/s.

i'm just crazy enough to think that i should take the ovidrel tonight and go in for an IUI tomorrow ... OPKs be damned!!!!

  • Totally can relate. I'm also CD16. I've never O'd later than Cd13. I never got a peak or a +OPK this month. I am on my 10th day of High on the monitor.  I was also temping and got dotted crosshairs on CD9 due to my temp rise.  I've given up this month. I know I am getting high readings due to the estrogen from the cysts. The only reason I keep using the monitor(and wasting pee sticks) is because I want it to go down to low, meaning the cysts are no longer producing estrogen. I've totally given up for this month and just waiting for AF. No idea if she will arrive early or ridiculously late. This is my first FAIL with the monitor... Oh well.

    Don't take the ovidrel on your own!!  GL:-)
