Please take a look at my chart! So confused this cycle...

[ericaf]

I posted this once already, but in hopes of more ladies giving their opinion...

I am SO confused!!!! FF just gave me my crosshairs and I thought for sureeee I ovulated on CD14 (Friday), but it says CD13 (Thursday)?! I didn't even get a + on my OPK until Thursday night?! (I test morning and night for my OPK's) And I had the most EWCM by farrrrr on Friday. What the HECK! I mean, if it really is CD13 I won't be upset because we BD'ed that morning and since my hubs was away working the day I thought I WAS ovulating (CD14) we didn't that day! (Did the next am though just in case) For the record on CD13 in the morning, my OPK was almostttt positive. Just about there in darkness, but that night the test line was darker than the control line and came up first and in like 5 seconds. So that's usually when I record my first +. Any thoughts here? I'm stumped. Everytime I've used an OPK and it was positive... I ovulated the next day?! What the HECK FF!

Hi,
I couldnt open your chart and i think in your last post it took me to october.
opk's and software only give us a rough idea....within 24-48 hours. I actually held strong and did not opk this cycle as the inconsistency was driving me crazy!!!
So sperm "can livd up to 5 days in the right cervical/uterine environment.....slow swimmers....hahs i like to think more along the lines of 48 hours. Also most times its better to bd just before ovulation to let those boys get up there to meet the egg. The egg lasting only 12-24 hours before degrading isn't gonna wait around for them.

It sounds like regardless of what day you may have O'd you are as good as can get. Try to relax. You seem as frustated as i am about the frustation of the fuzzy grey area around O-ing. Prior to a recent durgery i almost always felt o. Now when i need to that ability is gone.

Goid luck. What cd are you...perhaps we are in the tww together.

Really, you can't see my chart? I just tried the link and it worked for me? There's a 3 month chart overlay, then this months so far (I'm CD16 right now) and then there are two previous months charts. I usually don't have a problem with my OPK's and they're correct with when I think I'm going to O in conjunction with my temps. This month this was just earlier though. Which isn't all that bad to me because we BD CD9, 10, 11, 13, and 15 so I think we covered our bases pretty good! My husband said to me before "I think you have enough sperm in you that you should be turning into a man right about now." Hahaha. I was cracking up! I know we covered our bases, I was just totally thrown off with that one day difference because I didn't even get the positive OPK till CD13 NIGHT! Weird! What CD are you?

[sherryvhkb]

HELLO

Well i coulodn't get the link to work but saw your chart from your profile.  I still get nothing when i click on it today.  I am cd 19.  i usualy O on or about 14 but this is my second month of clomid ruining my regularity so I think I O'd CD17.  I was hoping it was on CD15 to be safest- oh well.  oops i cut off today CD19 temp is up at 98.2

[ericaf]

Oh yeah, you can't link the charts on here so I just put the address so people can copy and paste.  Ohhh, Clomid. I have a feeling I'll be headed that direction, I'm so worried because of the same things you said! My cycle is pretty regular as well as my ovulation so I'm afraid to throw it off. Clomid always throws it off? Do you always take your temps at the exact same time? I made that mistake the first month. Now I have my alarm go off everyday at 7 whether I'm working or not! I don't really understand this type of chart because I'm not familiar with it... did you have EWCM? I am now CD17 and pretty sure I ovulated on the 14th considering my CM and my OPK's. Although this cycle I've had a "stair case" step up in temp after ovulation and I've read that that indicates it's not a strong ovulation. Grrrrrrrrr. Not that that means it's impossible, but... it's not the best thing in the world. My ovaries need to get a grip! Lol.

[sherryvhkb]

i am usually under 97.8- then clearly O with lots of ewcm and agressive urge to BD (haha) then above 98.  I am regular but after several months of L sided O pain- confirmed by US- we decided to try clomid to kick start my R ovary.( I only have a functioning tube on the R)  I think it worked- more r sided cramping- but my cycle is a mess- and CM is also messed up.  Thank God for Preseed.  I'm glad that i did the clomid, but at the same time i look forward to next month without it.

[ericaf]

Ah, I see. Crazy! Is Clomid expensive? I always wonder that too... also, how long have you done Clomid? Why the break next cycle? Sorry for the 1,000 questions. I don't know much about it!

[sherryvhkb]

Not expensive. I paid $50 for (10) 50 mg tabs- 100mg day x 5 days. We decided to stimulate to get the right ovary in the game. Hopefully this did it. Also the side effects weren't extreme but vaguely unpleasant and constant. Headache, moody, mild nausea...and dry...like not just cm but dry mouth- dry eyes- all of ny mucus membranes feel dry.once and now twice i had hope that it would work some magic.....be the missing link...but noghing last month. We will see in a couple weeks. Being that only one tube made it through surgery it halved my already compromised chances....but hope remains!

[ericaf]

I see! That's not bad at all price wise. So why only the one tube? What surgery did you have to have?

[sherryvhkb]

No- not a bad price and thay was city pharmacy price. Probably high
I had a tubal reversal or reanastimosis. In the test4 months after only one tube remained open..

[ericaf]

What is a tubal reversal?

[sherryvhkb]

i had a tubal ligation years ago- and then desired pregnancy so i had the tubes put back together.

[ericaf]

Ahhhhhh, I see! Do you have any kids? AF show for you, or you still have a chance this month?

I finallyyyyyyyyyyy go for my CD21 testing today. Can't WAIT for the results!
