I finally got a positive opk this morning, so will probably O on CD 19. A little later than I was hoping, but hopefully it will be a a strong O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-o-on-femara#post-1632695 Tue, 13 May 2014 22:12:36 +0000 lazypanda 1632695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: I took femara for 2 cycles &amp; both were anovulatory for me (no O). However, I am aware of some of the ladies on the IF boards who have taken femara before &amp; they ovulated on that. Perhaps you might post this question over there? I have been taking clomid &amp; I've been ovulating on cd14 (with trigger) and that's with cd13 u/s monitoring to see how many follicles are growing. Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-o-on-femara#post-1629938 Mon, 12 May 2014 19:34:36 +0000 PurplePumps 1629938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure about femera yet, i'm only on day 2 of it starting on cd5. But on clomid, I o'd around day 18 vs 25 to 28 on my own. One of my clomid cycles didn't work either and the dosage had to be upped. If you're not really responding to it, they may need to increase it, but your blood tests and u/s should be able to tell you if you're are. Maybe it's possible to still o around the same time, but hormone levels are better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-o-on-femara#post-1629850 Mon, 12 May 2014 18:42:29 +0000 KT326 1629850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My situation is different in that I don't O at all on my own. But I didn't respond to Femara at all, I took it for two cycles. Hopefully someone else on here has more experience with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-o-on-femara#post-1629630 Mon, 12 May 2014 16:05:20 +0000 Raindrop 1629630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no experience but I bet there is someone on the boards that does so I'm bumping. I hope someone can shed some light here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-o-on-femara#post-1628061 Mon, 12 May 2014 07:25:12 +0000 LAZB 1628061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Femara CD 4-8 this cycle. I usually ovulate on my own, but around CD 20, so the Femara is for stronger ovulation and to lengthen my luteal phase. I'm currently on CD 16 and still getting negative opks. I usually O 2 days after a positive opk, so at this rate my earliest O is CD19. I thought that the Femara would help me O earlier, is that not usually the case? Also, the one cycle I took Clomid I Oed on CD 18 (and I took it CD<br /> 5-9). Thoughts? Experiences? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62626 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:57:30 +0000 arielle9510 62626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ADIRA- Thanks! Me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62619 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:37:23 +0000 Adira 62619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@arielle9510: Oh yikes! Yeah, you could be in for another long cycle. That totally sucks. It's possible your temps are just fluctuating before you O, but it's hard to tell. Sorry you have to deal with this! I hope you either get AF soon or O and a very OBVIOUS temp spike that stays elevated so it's CLEAR what's going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62613 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:32:32 +0000 arielle9510 62613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ADIRA- I have no idea how long my cycles are :( I went off BC is October and didn't get AF until the start of this cycle. Hoping this cycle is much shorter, although I'd take a longer cycle if it meant I would "O". </p> <p>All of this up in the air nonsense is driving me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62611 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:27:06 +0000 Adira 62611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm... it could be, though it's hard to tell with your chart. Do you know how long your cycle usually is? Is it usually about 32 days? I hope you get AF soon so you can at least start over and hopefully have a more productive cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62609 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:23:23 +0000 arielle9510 62609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My temps keep dropping so I think AF is around the corner.</p> <p>What do you ladies think?</p> <p><a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/39e549" rel="nofollow">http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/39e549</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62371 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:28:54 +0000 arielle9510 62371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SSLM- Thanks! They definitely do! It's either a non-ovulating cycle or a really long cycle...don't know what's better. Guess I'll find out when AF arrives!</p> <p>@ADIRA- They are super annoying. I hope I ovulate soon too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62322 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:31:33 +0000 Adira 62322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@arielle9510: So sorry to hear that! Sounds like you're doing everything right, so those fluctuating temps are super annoying! Hope you ovulate soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62287 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:41:30 +0000 sslm 62287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@arielle9510: sorry :( long cycles suck!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62260 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:49:42 +0000 arielle9510 62260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ADIRA- Yes I temp at the same time every morning and pretty much go to bed around the same time every night. The past couple of days I've been having a little bit of creamy CM so not quite sure what that means. </p> <p>I'm just so disappointed, because I was so excited when FF told me I had ovulated. I guess I'm in for a long cycle and my body is still adjusting to being off BC :(</p> <p>Thanks for the advice though ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62151 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 12:49:26 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 62151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you did, sorry. : ( The post O temps need to stay above the cover line and instead they are right around or below it, but similar to the temps before the spike. The spike could be your body trying to O and/or it could be a high temp because of a disturbance. </p> <p>I personally did not have much success charting CM. I think temps are more accurate.</p> <p>It still might happen though! Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62120 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:27:54 +0000 Adira 62120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! Your chart is confusing! Have you been consistent about taking your temp at the same time every day? Have you been roughly the same amount of sleep each night? Both those things being inconsistent could be causing your temps to fluxuate like that. Are you using a basal thermometer? I wasn't at first and my temps were totally messed up.</p> <p>I definitely think CM is one of your best methods to be able to tell if you're still fertile or not, especially since your temps aren't being very useful. Based on how many days you saw watery CM after your temp spike, it seems like you probably didn't ovulate then. It seems like you ought to have ovulated by now, but it's kind of looking like you haven't... Sorry you're having trouble. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-ovulate#post-62089 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:13:28 +0000 arielle9510 62089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone!</p> <p>This is my first cycle charting and also my first cycle with AF (after going off BC in October). FF originally confirmed that I ovulated on CD21. Although my temps stayed above the coverline, which was 97.48, I never really got a temp spike. Yesterday, FF took away my crosshairs and said it could no longer detect ovulation. </p> <p>Here is my chart<br /> <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/39e549" rel="nofollow">http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/39e549</a></p> <p>Do you think I ovulated or am I in for another long cycle? I wasn't following CM too closely, but I did have cramping for a few days. After FF detected O, I noticed watery CM for a few days as well. </p> <p>I'm just so frustrated! I know all I can do is keep temping and BD'ing and see when AF arrives. My temp dipped a bit again today so I think it is coming soon, but it's so frustrating not knowing where I am in my cycle!!</p> <p>Sorry for the vent...thanks for listening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-bd-only-after-od-and-still-get-pregnant#post-27363 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:08:49 +0000 tejbee 27363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on getting my bomp-chicka-wow-wow on as soon as I get DH alone! And will continue to do so for at least the full week after I get home. Please please please hang in there little egg! x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-bd-only-after-od-and-still-get-pregnant#post-27360 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:03:53 +0000 winniebee 27360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All you can do it BD when you can! The egg may hang around for longer so definitely try to get some BD in right when you get home! Also, keep in mind that sperm live for up to 5 days once up there, so get some BD in before you leave too, to be sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-bd-only-after-od-and-still-get-pregnant#post-27357 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:58:33 +0000 tejbee 27357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm asking because I think it's going to be cutting it close when I get home from a business trip. I'm not exactly sure where everything's going to fall into place by the time I get home. I'm crossing my fingers that it's perfect timing and not too late! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-bd-only-after-od-and-still-get-pregnant#post-27355 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:37:06 +0000 winniebee 27355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you need to BD pretty close to ovulation because when you ovulate, the egg usually only hangs around for about 12 hours and it takes a few hours for the little swimmers to get up there. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-bd-only-after-od-and-still-get-pregnant#post-27354 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:34:47 +0000 LazyLightning 27354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think that's possible due to how the body works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-bd-only-after-od-and-still-get-pregnant#post-27353 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:20:49 +0000 tejbee 27353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering if any bees here were a little late on catching when they ovulated and BD'd after they realized it passed. Did you get pregnant? How many DPO was it when you BD'd and got pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-to-charting-question-did-i-ovulate#post-25401 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:24:55 +0000 twinmama 25401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad your temp spiked! Remember that the temp rise is actually caused by the rise in progesterone following ovulation, not by the precise event of ovulation itself. So you may have actually ovulated around the cramping, but it can take a day for your prog levels to rise enough to raise your BBT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-to-charting-question-did-i-ovulate#post-25235 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:31:19 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 25235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! Looks like you anticipated it just right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-to-charting-question-did-i-ovulate#post-25122 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:27:08 +0000 AlyB25 25122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update...my temp spiked this morning to 97.88 so we will see if it stays up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-to-charting-question-did-i-ovulate#post-24364 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:15:15 +0000 AlyB25 24364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>okay one last questions I swear! lol...do you know if you ovulate within 12-48 hours after your FIRST positive OPK or your LAST positive OPK? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-to-charting-question-did-i-ovulate#post-24272 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:48:15 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 24272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The egg lives for up to 24 hours, so tonight is definitely not too late, but if you've been doing it every day, you should already be fine too. Sperm lives for up to 5 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-to-charting-question-did-i-ovulate#post-24266 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:43:34 +0000 AlyB25 24266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! I will keep charting to see what happens over the next couple of days...I guess only time will tell! I am just so worn out from all the BDing I just want it to happen already, lol </p>
