@jojogirl I'm still temping! I just want to make sure my temperature is still high.. i went to get my hcg levels checked today.. and i go back on friday for another blood test to check them again. so monday i'll know if my hormones are rising as they're supposed to... hope you're doing well!!

@Aprilshowers: Your chart this month looks just like @jojogirl's BFP chart! Wishing baby dust for you.

@jojogirl: I haven't decided. I got so discouraged by the negative last month I'll try to wait awhile this time. I need my chart to go higher soon if I want it to be a BFP one I think. If it plateaus in temp it'll be just like all the rest.

I know I don't really care about my chart anymore but the huge temp drop is kind of disappointing - AF can't be on her way this early, and my mid-LP dips aren't this low.

@Grace: That would be one heck of an unlikely miracle, but more pleasant than AF showing up this early.

@spaniellove: I agree with the others...7DPO dip usually = good things

@JoJoGirl: @ambular1025: I noticed that today too...and I am having a strange day. I am really tired, though I am pretty sure I slept ok, and I have already had some MAJOR brain farts this morning. I am thinking I may try and test Saturday, with absolutely NO expectations of positive.

@ambular1025: @April_Showers: I'm excited for both of you to test!! Your charts both look super promising. Except I can't keep your avatars straight.

@April_Showers: @ambular1025: Excited for you guys! Although @JoJoGirl is right, your avatars are totally similar!

@ambular1025: .2 degrees can definitely be a dip. It doesn't have to be all dramatic!

@April_Showers: Love the new avatar! I'm a pretty big enabler too so I will just keep my mouth shut over here.

@spaniellove: i'll be SUPER interested to see what your temp does tomorrow.. if it spikes, you are definitely going to hear it from the peanut gallery!

@April_Showers: Love your new pretty avatar!!

@JoJoGirl: And I would just chalk it up to being sick - I've had this cold since 1 dpo!

Hi everyone! If you're curious... I got my EMB back. He says that the endometrium that he took a sample of was in fact secretory, but it correlated with menstrual day 17 when in fact I was menstrual day 23... So it was six days off. He said that's "really bad," that there's no way it could support a pregnancy. Unfortunately, the lab mixed up my tests, and ran an FSH/E2 instead of a Progesterone level. He said that without that, there's no way to know if it's that my ovaries do not produce enough Progesterone or that my endometrium does not respond to the Progesterone in my system. Either way, it's an LP defect. Today is CD1, so I'm on to cycle 7 now. I got some CD15 bloodwork to do, CD24 bloodwork to do, and a post-coital swab to do this cycle. And hopefully, barring the lab doesn't mess up my tests again, and that our swab is normal, I will be starting Clomid&Progesterone in November maybe hopefully!

@Rachel: Well, maybe we will go through this whole Clomid/Progesterone thing together! It would be SO nice to be able to talk to someone going through it at the same time, though of course I hope you don't have to! When do you think you'll be starting it?

@sslm: Hey lady! Long time no "see" heheh. How's pregnant life?! How far along are you now?

@JoJoGirl: I'm a little angry, but..I dunno. Nothing I can do about it now. I was like, I dunno, like really? The luck I have. Hahaha.

@Rachel: @sslm: @JoJoGirl: Sorry I thought I had posted about the post coital swab on here but I guess not, getting my sites mixed up now! Haha. It's just to rule out a semen allergy, which is an asymptomatic response to semen where the woman's cervix attacks the sperm and basically acts like Gandalf and says YOU SHALL NOT PASS. During my fertile window sometime, we have sex, and within 2 hours I come in and he takes a swab of my CM and looks at it under a microscope - if the heads/tails are stuck together, we have to go straight to IUI/IVF. He doesn't think I have it, it's just to rule it out. So on October 4 at approximately 2 PM, hubby and I will have to do the deed and then I have to come into work for a pelvic exam...YES! Looking forward to it! Hahah.

@ChuckNorris: That's so frustrating that they ran the wrong test! I hope the answers you're getting will move you forward! And...good luck with that post-coital swab

@ChuckNorris: Grrr!!!! I'm shaking my fist at the lab people. I dont' get how people can run the wrong tests. I am glad you learned some things. Hopefully, it can all get worked out and you get your take home baby!

negative OPK this afternoon (1:30pm), positive OPK just now (8pm) - confirmed with a little smiley on the digital! I get really excited for these OPK positives! Also realized, when you suspect you might be around the time of LH surge, it's important to test twice!!

@chibee: Yeah! Go catch that egg!

@ChuckNorris: @ambular1025: my appointment is on Oct 16th, which is right around O time, so I'm thinking November at the earliest. I agree it will be so nice not to go through it alone!

LOL @ the Gandalf reference

@ChuckNorris: wow, it totally sounds like you got some answers! Maybe not the whole story, but a decent chunk, anyways. How are you feeling about things?

@chibee: Whoohoo!

@JoJoGirl: Oh, uh, yeah. I don't know if it's just my chart doing it's usual dip and spike thing or what! But I do have OSOM tests arriving from Amazon today...I wanted to know if there was anything in there at all and just not sticking or nada, and OSOM are supposed to be the best.
