TTC Update

I've had my gyno appointment today and it went pretty well even it was a little bitter-sweet.

My Progesterone was a little low as expected already, but it was smack in the middle of the Luteal Phase interval, so not too bad, and just for the heck of it we compared it to the one before starting Metformin (back in February), and it was a shock to us both... went from 0.464 to 9.5... so I went from 2 ovaries that weren't ovulating at all, but instead producing cysts, to one if not even both that are ovulating and have been ovulating since August, and that I find amazing. She put me again on a Progesterone supplement starting next cycle because for this one it's already too late. And she said that we'll start the Clomid only if we see that the follicles aren't getting big enough.

For the next cycle I have 3 transvaginal Ultrasounds planned for CD 8, 10 and 14, in order to monitor follicle growth and another Progesterone test on CD21. In addition to that I decided to switch to another endocrinologist, not because I don't like the one I was seeing, but because I've called and messaged ever since the miscarriage and I never got an answer or a call back to set an appointment and I find that a little rude. In addition my gyno recommended this new RE and I made an appointment with her for December 12th.

I have to say that even though this cycle is probably a bust, I am very excited for the progress I've made and looking in retrospect to where I started from... these are very exciting times!!! So... off to the future with new found hope and faith!!!

Blessings to everyone!!!

5DPO Progesterone test

Went in for the Progesterone test today... initially I wasn't supposed to get the results until the 17th, but after calling I found out I can get it online, so I did....

But unfortunately the result was disappointing... only a 9.5 ng/ml... I was hoping for at least a 10.... :-(

crosshairs...yey

Finally some crosshairs on my chart and O marked on the exact day it's supposed to happen according to the OPK. I was losing hope there for a sec, but now I got a little bit of faith back... who knows...

Next steps:

5DPO - Progesterone test
7DPO - Doc appointment

And then just playing the waiting game...

2WW has begun...

So.... I need to stop starting my post with SO.... it's so weird...

Officially the 2WW has started...according to my calculations I should be on 2DPO today, but my chart seems to think otherwise... I started charting on FertilityFriend.com and it still says no ovulation detected and my temperature seems to have risen but not significantly at all... I've had higher highs before ovulation. I did have a positive OPK on CD16, but who knows....

Has this happened to any of you... can it be that ovulation was stopped in evolution somehow after the OPK? I'm wondering cause also I had very little EW CM, and that was the day before the positive OPK... I just don't get it... and since this is the first cycle (even if we've been at it for about 18 cycles now) I monitored accurately, I don't know what to think!

Any feedback is welcome!!!

OPK on CD 16

 First of all I have to apologize if this blog is TMI all the time, but it's a TTC blog and they tend to be that way.

So.... I just took another OPK, it's CD 16 and it looks like it's a positive... even though the line is thinner it's much darker than the control line. I am putting the CD 15 photo below as well for comparison. Please let me know what you think, I appreciate any input as I am new to the whole OPK use.... it's my first cycle using them.

                                           CD16

                                          CD15

OPK on CD15

Below you have a picture of the OPK result from just a few minutes ago. From the looks of it, it's negative, but I have a feeling tomorrow may be the day, because this afternoon my CM became Fertile quality. Today is CD 15. Wish me luck. I ovulated last month, but wasn't allowed to take advantage of it.

BBT issues...

So... question of the day.... does anyone have issues with charting BBT? This is the first cycle ever that I've tried charting and I don't know if this is right, but my chart looks a little like the one below (whish is found on Google, not actually mine).

Is this what it's supposed to look like? I'm only on day 8th of the cycle, but my temperature varies quite a bit, and it's also pretty low I would say for a normal human being. On day 3 of the cycle, I registered an all time low of 35,6 celcius, which would be about 96.08 Farenheit  (I used a conversion calculator). This temp isn't even listed on the chart I have. The lowest one is 36,15, which would be about 97.07 Farenheit.

I'm kinda freeked out. The high of the temp so far has been a wopping 36,30 (was being sarcastic), about 97.34 Farenheit.

I'd appreciate any input. I'm going to keep charting and, at the end of the month, I'll put up my own chart for review.

Thank you all and have a beautiful week!!!
