Good morning, ladies!

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (third cycle AL)

CD/DPO: 28/9

Timing: 🌟

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: 🐔🐔🐔

R/R: The post-O/pre-AF bloat is hitting me HARD. I feel like a Macy's Thankgiving balloon. The sun is out today, yay!!

CS/Q: I've been fooled by a pretty chart before.

whitealbum29 · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 9/8

CD/DPO: CD 34 which I think will mean CD 1 later today....15 dpo or maybe not?? See craziness below.

Timing: -5, -2, -1 I think. Now I'm questioning if I was even right about O but I have no chart to show so I just have to spiral in my head!

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: tomorrow if no AF but now I'm almost talking myself into waiting to see if AF comes tomorrow (if not today) and then not testing till Saturday! Auughhh! In case I actually O'd on day 20 instead of 19? I don't know....

R/R: So glad the sun is finally out here, we really needed it!

CS/Q: OK as mentioned I have no chart so just ignore the crazy ranting woman in the corner if need be. Dr. had me take Clomid days 5-9 for the second time this cycle. The first Clomid cycle it seemed pretty clear that I O'd on day 19, then my cycle was 33 days (AF came the night of the 34th day making it CD 1). I was thinking Clomid would make things very regular from cycle to cycle but I was a little less clear about O this month. Does anyone know whether you generally O the same day if you've taken Clomid the same way from month to month? Now I'm questioning if I could be off a day on O. Basically.....I probably should have taken a test this morning.

Month/Cycle: 10 / 2 AL

CD/DPO: 16/6

Timing: -2, -1, +1

Typical LP length: progesterone

Testing: I think I'm back to Tuesday ish? spoiler for mention of hcg

took another FRER and it was def negative today, so maybe I caught the last of the hcg yesterday! this is very good news for more concise testing later!

R/R: I start golf lessons today!! wahoo!

CS/Q: nerp

@emeraldduchess your chart is looking so pretty! Fingers crossed! Also, sorry about the bloat. Up the water intake today!

@whitealbum29 Oh no! I am sorry your O day is causing you stress. Hang in there because you will know either way in just a few days! You can test tomorrow morning instead.

@chichiphin Glad to hear that the HCG is out of your system. Have fun at your golf lesson today!

chichiphin · April 2019

@whitealbum29 by 14 DPO (or 15 DPO), I don't think FMU is necessary if you wanted to test today. Also, if you're on medication like clomid or fermara/letrozole, you should O a certain amount of days from the first pill. Are you being monitored with ultrasound or bloodwork by your OB/RE when on these meds? Because of the disparity of O dates while on clomid, I'd push to have a monitored cycle with ultrasounds to see where your follicles are leading up to O

@emeraldduchess ME TOO. the bloat is unreal. I think the progesterone is messing with my GI honestly

that is a very pretty chart tho

puppylove8910 · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 26/10

chichiphin · April 2019

@puppylove8910 10 DPO is still early! esp if you aren't using a FRER. hopefully this is the case for you!

puppylove8910 · April 2019

@chichiphin **TW** Prior Pregnancy

When I found out I was pregnant with my DS I got a positive on a Wondfo with afternoon urine at 10 DPO so that is sort of the gauge for me going forward.

ruby696 · April 2019

Your chart looks great @emeraldduchess! I'm bloated too. Progesterone = all day bloating. I feel huge.

@whitealbum29 If you're that far along in your cycle, a test this afternoon should be accurate. I only took clomid once, so I can only guess. But I don't think it makes ovulation that regular. Regardless, test soon!

@chichiphin I'm so glad your test was negative! FX for a blazing positive in a few days...

@puppylove8910 Ugh, sorry for the bfn.

Month/Cycle: 19/11

CD/DPO: 8

Timing: Great

Typical LP length: 12 days

Testing: Maybe Sunday. Betas May 1st.

R/R: Nothing to complain about here. It should be a beautiful day and I'm off at noon. My mom is coming to visit this weekend, so that should be fun too.

CS/Q: Temp dip today, but still looking fine.

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@ruby696 @chichiphin @puppylove8910 - thank you! We'll see about a test today or tomorrow...but yeah I'll know soon regardless.

@chichiphin - I did have bloodwork that confirmed O my first month on Clomid, they said it wasn't necessary this month b/c they'd confirmed 50mg was working for me. I asked about u/s for monitoring but they don't do it - I guess b/c it's an OB office rather than a RE they're less into all the monitoring?

whitealbum29 · April 2019

finally getting to other tags unrelated to my neurosis...

@emeraldduchess - Ugh sorry you're feeling icky! Very nice chart.

@ruby696 -- ooh have a good afternoon off!

@puppylove8910 -- So sorry about the bfn.

@chichiphin - Have fun at your golf lesson!
