Re: ***TTCAL check in***
Where are you in your cycle: 1dpo. Had a huge temp spike today, and my O pains are gone.
What PNV and supplements (if any) are you taking: OAD PNV with DHA, folic acid, calcium
Any medications/monitoring/testing/etc this cycle: Any extra measures?: Using OPK's? Charting? Both?: both. We upped my femara dose this cycle and I didn't respond as well as my previous dose. Finally got some +opks and had the temp spike today, so I'm pretty happy.
What's been your best moment this week: spending Saturday with my mom, sisters, nephew and nieces
On the flip side... your worst moment: nothing, really
If you're in the 2ww, how was your timing? when are you testing?: Our timing was great. O day, O-1 and O-2. I might test next Thursday (or Tuesday...if I make it that long)
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently next cycle: Nothing. We'll likely try the 7.5mg of Femara again. My RE considers it successful since I did ovulate on it.
