Do you think it's possible I didn't O yet? (chart stalk)

Twizzle · April 2011

I have 14 months of charting under my belt, but this cycle is a total mystery to me. It's my 2nd cycle on clomid. First, FF said O was day 12, then it changed it to day 15. Now, on day 24, I'm having a ton of EWCM, and my temp is way low again. I feel like the clomid changes my CM and it also seems to be messing with my temps, although last month they were more normal and biphasic. I never had a + OPK this cycle either.

I also had progesterone tested on day 21, it was 8.2, which seems impossible if I didn't O at all yet, but this cycle has me so confused!

Thanks to anyone who has any advice, sorry if this sounds like a total newb question.

Honestly, check out my messed up chart... I think the Clomid makes it impossible to chart accurately (at least for me).

I was SUPER hot the entire cycle, and just recently returned to normal.

If I wasn't being monitored and given a trigger- I wouldn't know what to think!!!

What did your Dr. say?

Good luck!!

Are you not being monitored by ultrasound? If you were, your Dr should of been able to tell you when you were close to ovulating. If you aren't being monitored you really should be. Clomid can be dangerous if not monitored properly.

Good luck!

The only monitoring I'm getting is the 7DPO progesterone test, which is one of the reasons that I'm going to stop working with my OB and switch to an RE. We have an appointment with the RE on Tuesday, so I'll ask then. I haven't asked the OB about it because I'm just so fed up with her.

Marla, your chart is super wacky too! IF we decide to do clomid again maybe I'll just stop temping altogether, it might be easier on my sanity.

Yeah- my RE said that I could stop- but I wanted to see a pretty chart for once- so I sort of half-a$$ed it. Still looks like crap...

OPK's are not really helpful on Clomid either.

I am moving on to Femara next cycle- if this cyst would freaking go away!

Oh- and to answer your question- your progesterone shows that you did ovulate- but since you don't know what day- it doesn't tell you much about how great your progesterone levels are.
