Hi, I'm hoping you have room for one more so here goes.
Cycle Day: 15
TTC Cycle: No idea, we have been TTC on and off (mostly on) since May 2013.
Ovulation Date: Hopefully tomorrow or the day after that, OPK was looking good last night.
POAS Date: Probably 25th or 26th if AF doesn't start before. I also tend to get cold feet when it comes to testing so not really sure right now.
Baby #: 1I was lurking in the June thread and was so hopeful last cycle. It was a weird one for me, my bbt stayed up for 13 days and I also started spotting really late. Usually I know it's all over by 10 or 11 DPO - no luck unfortunately and I really felt let down so I thought it might be nice to have some support this time around.
I wasn't going to say anything before my ovulation time was certain but then you pulled out the puppy pictures and I couldn't stay away. So me and my cattle dog are joining in. Hi.
-
@paranundrum: Welcome (to you and your adorable cattle dog! ... LOVE his "smile."
) and best of luck this cycle!
-
@paranundrum: Welcome! We always have room for one or ten more people!
Your pup is adorable too

Man, talk about a quick drop in LH on OV day! From 9.3 (LH surge) to a measly 2.5 in about 24 hours ... Sheesh!
Incidentally, has anyone ever OV'd early (* I'm at CD 11!) and come out with sticky BFP?!?
I'm losing faith in this month -- I think the HSG (and lack of Clomid) reset my cycle and I'm back to 23/24 days instead of 28/29 days. Bummer. -
@paranundrum: welcome! Your dog is adorable
@Kaohinani: i think it's pretty normal for your lh to drop off pretty fast after the surge.
-
We had a monsoon last night and it's still muggy and I got 3 more mosquito bites from being out with the dogs around 10am. I'm dying of itchyness. Mosquitos love me since I've had my daughter and I already had about 15 bites from our vacation. You'd think I'd be better about mosquito repellant
-
@Kaohinani: I'm surprised your cycle reverted so fast. I skipped a month of clomid the cycle before last and still O'd on CD 14 instead of hopping back to CD12.
I wouldn't stress about it though, you were already kind of prepared for this one to be a one off with the HSG and isn't your husband out of town for some of it? I know this is all easier said than done though. :\
-
@MamaBear87: I HATE mosquito bites!!! I get a giant welt and they itch like crazy, and I'm severely allergic to DEET. Thankfully there are finally some effect DEET free repellents. Try chiggerex if you haven't already, it's amazing for itch relief!

-
@Sams Mom: I've tried every single topical cream and they do zero for me. Ive found that taking a claritin is the only thing that helps. I also get the giant welts, so attractive! I just hate how all the bug repellents smell so I tend to avoid them
-
@Sams Mom: I'm surprised as well! I figured the HSG would flush my system and being off the Clomid for a month wouldn't matter TOO much. I guess the 5 days that Clomid stretches my Follicular phase (* I always have a 12-14 day Luteal phase) really was significant and entirely dependant on the medication. Oh, and, yes, my husband leaves for 16 days of training on the 14th (which would have been my "Clomid OV day" and is my CD 15). I had figured I'd still be on-track with my past 2 cycles so I assumed we'd miss my OV date and would simply have to BD like bunnies the 3 days before and at 3 am before he left on the 14th. Now that my cycle ran so early, we have been able to BD with a little less stress. Of course, now I'm worried it may be an anovulatory cycle or one that may not result in a BFP no matter what since, statistically, OV before CD 12 usually does not yield a properly matured ovum.
@Mamabear87: My surges ( like my BBT temps) are usually slow climbers/ascenters and descenders so such a sudden drop took me by surprise. I know I do [usually] have only 12-18 hours between my surge and OV (most people are 12-48 hrs) so maybe the 9.3 LH was caught at the tail end. IDK.
-
@Kaohinani: Hey, early O might be the one that sticks since you were able to cover your fertile week! There is always a chance as long as you're BDing
-
I can't find my thermometer... So I guess that means another no temping month. I should probably shakedown the small human's room to cover my bases. I found one of my husband's patrol flashlights in the warming drawer of the oven this weekend that he has been looking for for weeks.
-
@Sams Mom: Thanks! F'X.
Lol. You need to locate that thing! How are you supposed to track OV if little Mr. StickyFingers keeps swiping stuff!?! π€
-
@Kaohinani: I have the cutest video of me asking if he wants a brother or sister. He says yes to both. Then I ask if he can't have both, what does he want. He answers both, but then says yes to sister only.
He will NOT be happy when some of the attention is taken from him, but he'll come around... hopefully
-
@Sams Mom: Awe! That sounds absolutely adorable!
-
@Sams Mom: I have 2 thermometers that are just sitting if you'd like them!
-
@MamaBear87: Let me take a look see in his tricycle and regular hidey holes tonight, if I don't find it I will definitely take you up on one of them
thank you
-
Annnnd Iβm out now! AF finally showed up. See you ladies (but hopefully not
) on the August boards! Good luck!
-
1 dpo and my nips already feel like I have glass shards in them.
-
@megpie: O no! I'm sorry
@Kaohinani: hey, maybe it will be good fun! fingers crossed for you this month!
-
@Sams Mom: Thanks, @Sams Mom! F'x!
Hoping you have a lucky
month as well!
On a side note, did you ever locate the bbt thermometer your little stash-monkey hid? -
Hi ladies, Iβm back! Had a great vacation, and now Iβm back home and 7/8 dpo. For those of you that have done trigger shots, do you count ovulation one or two days after the trigger? When I did the trigger at night the last two months I counted it two days later, but this time I did it at lunch time, so maybe only one day?
It doesnβt really matter, I just deciding if I should test Sunday or Monday with confidence the trigger will be gone -
@LAZB: welcome back! sorry, but I am of no help to your trigger question. Have you ever tested yours out to know how long you take to get it out personally?
-
Holy crap, the insomnia, hot flashes, and wanting to eat everything is not treating me well so far.
-
@LAZB: Delurking (old username afc061018) to say that I don't think it matters what time of day you use it, you'd still count forward between 24-36 hours for O. I temped every time I used a trigger and had a distinct rise either 24 or 36 hours later. It varied by month.
-
@Sams Mom: thanks
I kind of did the first month, but itβs supposed to vary each month
@foodiebee: thanks for popping in I know itβs 24-36 hours, but that would mean I ovulated between 1 pm on Tuesday and 1 am on Wednesday. Iβll probably go with 8 dpo today lol
-
@Sams Mom: sorry the hot flashes are yucky!
@LAZB: I'd just wait for period to show or not but I know you're less patient than me
In my weirdness of the day someone stole our trash can! Like wth?! Of course we just got a brand new one, but neighbors also have new ones so it's not like ours was lonely. Have to wait until Friday for another
-
@LAZB: Hi! So glad to read you had a great vacation!
I hope my response was helpful. -
@foodiebee: I love your new user name! Too cute!
-
@MamaBear87: Who the h*ll does that?!?
-
@MamaBear87: lol, but with my progesterone supplement it wonβt show on its own!
@Kaohinani: thanks! I think Sunday should be good then that will be 13 dpt
-
@MamaBear87: wow. people suck!
someone stole our blue lightbulbs out of our garage light sconces last month. yes it was probably some jackwagon teenagers, but I had had those for 3 years from a fundraiser for a wounded cop.
-
@LAZB: OH! I completely misunderstood your question. My RE told me it's safe to test 14 days post trigger.
@MamaBear87: We've had our trashcan stolen once too! So weird.
@Kaohinani: Thank you!
-
So I'm occasionally seeing streaks of light in my peripheral. I know I am supposed to discontinue Clomid use if I see orbs of light around things, so I'm trying to decide if this also falls into the orb/floaters category or not. I'm going to email my doctor about it too, but until he gets back with me I'm going to second guess telling him.
-
@Sams Mom: Definitely email or call.
-
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: @foodiebee: right?! Such a weird thing to steal! Oh well thankfully we get it replaced Friday and we don't create that much regular trash
@LAZB: i think 13 or 14 dpt is pretty reasonable! Fingers crossed!
@Sams Mom: that would for sure warrant a check in with the doctor
-
@Kaohinani: @MamaBear87: Well he said it is not an expected or concerning side effect of Clomid, so I'm still good to go.
-
@Sams Mom: Good to know! I'm glad you will be fine and can continue your current course of Clomid.
-
@paranundrum: Good luck, your dog is adorable.
@Kaohinani: I think I am 2 dpo, and I have had the clearest temperature rise ever (including the two cycles I got pregnant). I am also having a lot of post-ovulation symptoms, which I don't usually get until right before my period. MI started meditating, which has really improved the quality (and quantity) of sleep, and also improving my chart.
@Sams Mom: My kids, when asked, say they want a baby brother. They just got a new cousin, and are getting another in the next month, so they are all about the babies (although I am sure they will not immediately appreciate a new baby).
