@MrsMccarthy: anti inflamatories will delay O, that happened to me when I was prescribed naproxen, think it took 5 days for my body to O again.

@Snowdrop: oh! Thanks for sharing. I was wondering about that. So perhaps we won't really be out this cycle after all. I don't love late ovulation because eggs can suffer but it would be nice to at least have a chance this month. I'll keep opking and see what happens.

@dc yoga bee: Why did she suggest the RE? What are you suspected problems?

@MrsMcD: I have no idea! None that I'm aware of. We're 26/27 and have been trying for 6 months. My only concern was I only have a 10 day LP. I found that very odd. She was just like, doctor said you're ovulating and she suggests you see an RE since you've been trying timed intercourse for 6 months and you are ovulating.

@MRSMCCARTHY: Thanks! I hope you and me both get that this month!

@MrsMcD: Nope, completely dismissed it. She basically was like-you're ovulating. I've done my job, can't help you, go away was the vibe I got. So, we plan to just keep trying. We at least know I'm ovulating. But, get this- now my ovulation day got pushed back a day. So, the number is actually right on track for normalcy.

@MrsMcD: In regards to ttc, I'm trying to think of something witty to say with a Keep Calm and _____ on mantra. But, I can't think of anything pg related

Alright, had my progesterone level drawn today and the nurse called me back with the results this afternoon (fastest I've ever heard about a lab before!). The level was 8 point something. I'm day 26, post-O by 10 days, so we expected the level might be a little low, but she said it was fine. However, I'm thinking it might be higher if I was pregnant this month?? (We were testing to confirm ovulation and rule out LP issues because I have had very light and short periods for several months now).

@sapphire: I just had that some yesterday at 5 (I'm thinking 4)dpo and it was 5.2. I think 2-28 is the range they gave me so you're right in there. According to the range they gave me for pregnant levels it wouldn't necessarily indicate pregnancy,bc pregnancy could be in the lower range as well (i.e 4 and 5). We thought I had a lp issue since I only have a 10 day lp so she checked my progesterone. She said lower numbers still indicate ovulation. I'm gonna roll with it for now.

I've never been on birth control. I kinda wish I had so I could have some indication of why it might be taking a little longer. Maybe I need to lose the 20lbs I gained while studying for the bar..two years ago!

ETA: I love Keep Calm and Get It On!

@septca: Thank you for clearing that up. I had the HyCoSy. I'm sorry if I scared anyone! I didn't mean to if I did! What you said wasn't boring at all…quite informative! Not everyone experiences intense pain like that and all the symptoms I experienced… The article does say most people have some pain but some have more intense pain. I guess I was just part of the "intense pain" group…yay.

I go to the MD for a follow-up appt. on Tuesday 6/3 to discuss all our results…blood work, HyCoSy, ultrasounds, DH's blood work and SA. Wednesday 6/4 is POAS day…big week ahead!

@Snowdrop: thanks, that might help in talking to DH. He doesnt mind the idea of an IUI, but doesn't like the idea of the IVF.

@MrsMcD: yep! FX we don't have to reach those points!

@MrsMccarthy: good luck! I hope you O soon. Since the surge was gone so quickly, I do wonder if you geared up and didn't O. I hope it's not too badly delayed.

@dc yoga bee: I don't love the flippant response of the nurse... I agree it might be good to try for another couple months. LOVE yoga, I need to get back into it too.

@nicolechris11212: good luck at the DRs, but FX you don't need it!

I came home today and DH kissed me and my belly for good luck. He is too cute for words, I hope I can give him a good Father's Day surprise.

@septca: Here is my chart, which includes my temp from this morning, too. Before yesterday's temp, FF gave me crosshairs on CD14, the day of my +OPK. I should have guessed, based on the temps, that CD14 wasn't right, but I trusted FF. Had I really thought my crosshairs would get moved, we probably would have tried to BD again on CD18. Oh well. Hopefully O and O-2 is enough this month.

BFN this morning at 13DPO. My temp is a lot higher despite taking it only 30 minutes late. DH was going to get a SA this morning if I got a BFN, but after tons of calls, I found out that of the three places that supposedly do it, one doesn't, one opens in 3-4 weeks, and the other requires an appointment and they are full today. They have a ton of info on their website but don't bother to mention that an appointment is required. So frustrated!

We are thinking of another POAS tomorrow before stopping progesterone. Thoughts?

@AmeliaBedilia: I would take if again tomorrow... What are you testing with?

@septca: yes please! I'll POAS 6/4 if AF hasn't started.

@septca: Thanks for adding me!
And thanks for sharing your friend's story. My thyroid issue is that my thyroid had to be surgically removed due to cancer. In order to prevent recurrence, I've had to be on super high doses of levothyroxine (which makes conception harder!)...on the plus side, my endocrinologist said it's now safe to reduce my dose to "normal" so we've been lowering the dose over the last few months, but it's a slow process. On the other side of the coin, my endo thinks that since my cycles are so normal and I'm ovulating that my thyroid issues might not be playing a role, but the easiest thing is to reduce the dose, get me normal, and then see what happens.

Welp, just checking in this morning with an unfortunate BFN @ 11dpo this a.m. I feel so distracted and spacey with all these hopes floating around in my head! I really don't do well waiting like this. Last night I had localized pain/cramping down low on my right side. Felt overall just not myself. At this point, I'm ready to just get an answer either way and move on!

@ameliabedilia @heartabandoned : both charts look very promising!
