Frustrated & Sad
I was so excited yesterday b/c according to my Fertility Friend chart I had Ovulated. If you remember, when I went to the doctor last time she told me that I haven't been ovulating & of course no egg = no possibility of a baby. So she prescribed Clomid to help my body produce more progesterone to help the follicles mature in to an egg(s). All was looking good until this morning. I entered my basal body temperature & since it was the same as yesterday Fertility Friend recalculated & now it appears that I haven't ovulated at all.
I'm so bummed & just plain sad. I'm having a bit of a pity party this morning. Why does this have to be so hard??

Re: Frustrated & Sad
Im sorry sweetie. That is so tough. While I haven't been in your shoes it really makes me sad to see so many people I know struggle with this.
You are entitled to your pity party, so don't think anything different. There are going to be ups and downs, and you need to process your emotions so you don't stay bottled up. I hope that something picks up soon and good things come your way!
We are all here for support!
Ummm...do not believe Fertility Friend!!!! It told me I had ovulated way later then I thought I did and that I had a pretty slim chance of getting pregnant. Well we all know what happened...
If it's your first month fully entering temps I believe it's not accurate AT ALL! There is still hope so just keep on charting and don't give up!
ETA: I looked at your chart and it does look really good! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your temp stays up!

It's definitely unfair ...I don't blame you for feeling frustrated. What Danie says makes alot of sense though, so hopefully you will have a different result next month! Big hug for you, sweetie. Hang in there!
I seriously ask myself this all the time! I just think all of the time I spent in my "younger" days worrying about getting pregnant. Yea, like that was an issue! Also, with having no kids yet, people are constantly asking and not realizing that maybe we ARE trying, and it ISN'T working! Jeff just tells them straight up, but I can't do that with most people. My sisters are both so INCREDIBLY fertile, they act like they get it, but they have no idea. I can't believe it has been over a year now. Doesn't seem like that is even possible, but I guess we just keep on trying. Looks like in December we might try clomid with AI. Sorry, I kind of hijacked your post, but I guess I have a little inner frustration going as well!
A lot of what you said is a foreign language to me, and I can't pretend to understand your frustration. But I really feel for you girls that are struggling - to want something so bad and it to be so beyond your control has to be so incredibly difficult to deal with. My thoughts are with you George-Anne, as well as the rest of you that aren't getting insta-preggers. I know it'll happen for you all eventually!
@Danie - I do not understand people who ask "when are you having a baby??" Like (a) none of your business and (b) it's so inconsiderate when they have no idea if you're struggling or not. Some woman I barely know asked me the other day "so are you pregnant yet?". Obviously we're not trying, but I think I would have punched her if I'd been struggling for several months.
No you didn't. It's nice to know (although a little sad too) that there are others struggling. Good luck with the Clomid w/ AI procedure. Just curious, why are you waiting until December?
Thank you for this. It really made me feel better.
Thank you all so much. It really means a lot to have your support.
@danie - I know, right?? why the he!! does anyone think that it is any of their business? Nelson's first cousin used to joke that if people didn't stop asking that he was going to start telling them that he & his wife would have a lot better chance if they didn't do it up the butt (gross, I know but I'm sure he was just kidding). I thought it was kinda funny then but I think it's really funny now. If you ask an extremly personal question of someone that's none of your business be prepared for an extremely personal answer that you don't want to hear.
@Rachel - I literally had someone ask me yesterday when I was going to have a kid, and I responded with my generic, "We're just not there yet." And, he responded, "Well, what's wrong with you?" Now, this is a good work-related friend, so I know he was more giving me crap because he thought we weren't trying yet, but I was just so taken aback, I didn't know what to say.
@G-A - We are waiting until December just for medical costs reasons. We are both young (Jeff will be 28 in September and I 26 in October), so we don't want to give up on having it happen naturally, so when I went to my last doctor's appointment we both agreed to give it another 6 months or so.
Oh it would have been sooo hard not to kick him in the nuts & then ask him what was wrong with him as I watched him squirm. But that might be my own frustration talking.
Good! I remember FF telling me I ovulated then a few days later took it off and then said I ovulated later than what it initially told me. It was so screwy!! Here's my chart in case you wanted to see what happened.

I am so sorry. See what your temps do; you may have ovulated and FF just needs more info. **Hugs** This whole process sucks.
