Well.. That was a surprise. CD1

I don't know why I'm so surprised. Maybe because I only got CH's from FF yesterday?! And they said I was 6DPO, I can tell that Ff was wrong and manually overrode that this morning.

My LP was 14 days this month!! I'm counting that as a minor victory. But I'm not 100% I O'd, the temp shift wasn't that great.

I woke up to a huge temp from this morning and thought, well I wonder if I'm starting or what the hell my chart is doing now. Went back to sleep and woke up (tmi) feeling everything flowing. It was a freaking mess! So much for sleeping in on my day off. And now I have horrendous cramps to go with it.

Sorry for rambling girls, just really don't have anyone else to talk to. This sucks. We have made it to the year mark. Unless I get pregnant next cycle, which will be right at one year (Dec 24 is the official date we started) I have been off BC since September of last year. I just keep trying to remind myself that my thyroid just got back to normal in September of this year.

My OB and I agreed to discuss things at my February appointment if I still wasn't pregnant yet. Since it does appear I am Oing on my own, I think we may wait until it has been a year since my thyroid started working.

Any insight, hugs, love, whatever you have I'll take this morning.

At least R and I have a date night planned to see the comedian Jim Gaffigan Saturday night. :-)

Re: Well.. That was a surprise. CD1

  • BEB, correct me if I'm wrong, for a big part of the year weren't you and DH NNT? Or is that someone else I'm thinking of?

    If you were NNT for part of the year of TTC, then that could be the reasoning. 

    Anyway, hope your cramps get better!

  • Also, I'm not convinced that you actually had an ovulatory cycle, as there was no clear temp shift.

  • Sorry about the surprise CD 1!! It's hard when your chart isn't clear and you're not able to prepare for it. That is never something fun to wake up to!

  • Nope, we started actively trying in December, I was on here NNT before that though. When my cycles were soooo long I did quit temping for a bit though. It was just too much to not see anything happening.
  • I'm not completely convinced you O'd either.  Has your OB looked at your charts?  You have definitely had two shorter cycles since September (when you say your thyroid went back to normal) but your temps are all over the place.  Fluctuating temps can mean a lot.  Maybe your body is still regulating after your thyroid changes or maybe it's an indication of a larger problem.  The only ways to know is either more time or having some testing done.  I'm sure it's frustrating but personally, I'd give it a little more time to see if your shorter cycles continue or your temps get a little less up and down.

    Here's what FF says about fluctuating temperatures:
    http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Fluctuating-temperatures.html

    Why are my temperatures fluctuating so much?

    When temperatures fluctuate a great deal, it is usually due to inconsistencies in temperature taking methods. Make sure you are taking your temperature at the same time every day, when you first wake up, after a solid block of sleep, and with a BBT thermometer. If you are doing all this and are still getting rocky temperatures, you can try taking your temperature vaginally. Some women notice more stable temperatures when taking their temperature vaginally.

    Temperatures can also fluctuate a great deal when you are not ovulating, or when you have delayed ovulation. If you are taking your temperatures accurately and are still having large temperature fluctuations and no clear ovulation pattern, then this might be the case.

  • @loonelife
    I have showed my OB my charts before, and she didn't say much about how Rocky they are. That is one of my major concerns though. I take my temp at either 4 or 415 every morning, so not much variation in time.

    I agree with the shorter cycles since September, which is why I'm ok with trying another year. Because things look more "normal" than before. I will be talking to her about the variations again at my appointment in February. I tried vaginally temping for a while, and it didn't really show much difference than oral. And I prefer oral. (Hahaha)
    I have noticed that some of my temps are more in a row that they used to be though, so maybe they will get better.

    Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it!
  • I have no advice but lots of hugs for you. I hope you start to get more consistent and less rocky cycles.
