    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 2

    Timing: Good

    Typical LP length: 13-14 days

    Testing: On Christmas eve 

    R/R: There isn't a whole lot going on, I'm just trying to survive another TWW. This time, I'm trying to resist the urge to test early. We'll see how that goes since last cycle I went through an embarrassing amount of tests.

    CS/Q: So Femometer is stressing me out. It told me this morning my LH strips may not have been a good indicator of O and I may have had a false surge since I can't confirm O with BBT readings. My temp spiked this morning. Is it normal for it to take 2 days after O to go up? I know I can't really confirm the temp change till I have another two days of elevated readings, but I'm posting my chart below. I'm pretty sure the high temps on the 11th and 12th were from poor sleep quality.

    *lurking from IF*
    @katrielle my post-O temp spike has been known to take 2 days, and there's a fair amount of research out there to show that this is normal. But just to say, without a rapid BBT spike after your (test-confirmed) LH surge, and unless you have other symptoms like ovulation cramps to help you narrow things down, it just means you've got a wider possible window for the actual day of O, since O can happen anywhere between 12-48+ hours after your LH surge, and BBT spike can happen anywhere from ~6-48 hours after O, and even in some women a (very) little before O. Unfortunately it's a matter of getting the hang of your own body's habits. Here's hoping you don't have the opportunity.
    History
    I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
    Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
    5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
    Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
    Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
    May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
    MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
    In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
    Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
    April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
    July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
    July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
    Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
    RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
    Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
    Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
    Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
    May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
    July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal.
    Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow.
    Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal.
    Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP.
    May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy.
    July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen.
    Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized.
    From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos!
    Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN.
    July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.

    @katrielle I’m no help because I have yet to ever confirm O w/ BBT, but hopefully it sorts itself out soon. 

    Month/Cycle: 3/2AL (I mathed wrong in my newbie intro…)

    CD/DPO: 23/14 IF I counted right, and if OPKs were right. If not who knows. 

    Timing: -2

    Typical LP length: I… don’t know. I just started doing OPKs again after not doing them for a few years, and I didn’t do good with them before. 

    Testing: Not planning to. 

    R/R: Even though I’m already counting myself out this cycle, I am also symptom spotting like a mofo, and I need to quit. Also it’s a full moon and the world has lost their daggum mind. I work in temp staffing and it’s been rough for a while, but this week has been a Hot Damn Mess.  

    CS/Q: I gots nothin.

    Thanks. It's good to know that it is something that happens and it's most likely not a problem. I think I have a tendency to over stress about this whole thing since this is my first month of BBT tracking. Temps are still up today, so I think everything is good.
