Secondary IF

I broke down and

used my ovulation microscope because I couldn't stand not knowing whether or not I would ovulate on our first cycle back to TTCing. I'm at my peak fertile time according to my microscope which has been very accurate for me in the past. I'm either ovulating today or will tomorrow based on my past experience using the microscope. That would be cycle day 15 or 16, which is pretty good for me since most of the time, I have a short LP. That's one of our major issues. Out timing has been great but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I know I will be over analyzing everything for the two weeks. IF sucks but I have a little hope now!

Re: I broke down and

  • Good luck on your first cycle back!  I'm curious what the ovulation microscope is.  I haven't heard of that.  Is it an online charting tool?

  • Thanks ladies!

    The ovulation microscope uses your saliva to measure your hormone surge at ovulation. I use a portable one from www.fertilefocus.com.
