Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

p.s ovusoft made my coverline at 97.2 ( ignorning the higher temps)

Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

Deb - any insight? How can coverline be 97.2? Ovusoft kept raising my line last month - I finally ignored it.

I'm confused by your chart, sorry D!!!!

Also - yuo should get rid of that HIGH temp on the 29th - that was from drinking with me the night before same thing happened to my temps!! ha ha

AND GOOD LUCK AT THE DR!!!!!!!!

Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

Yes sorry to hijack the thread. Good luck Donna!!!

Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

It takes a lot of practice boosh...but after seeing 'many' they become easier to interpret.......

unfortunately, I can't detect ovulation yet from your chart. Are you sure you had a positive OPK ? I really don't use ovusoft.....I find fertilityfriend to be quite reliable.

I would recommend using the fertility monitor next cycle....takes the mystery out of opks.

Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

Donna,
Maybe give it a couple more days. You should know by the weekend wether or not you O'd. It's usually hard to tell right away. I know, my temps were always like yours.
Looks like your BD timing is great though!!!

Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

If you got the positive opk on Tuesday afternoon...then you could have ovulated anywhere up until last night. If you ovulated last night you should give it two more days of temps and I bet you either see a spike tomorrow or see a slow temp rise pattern on Saturday.

Donna SOOO glad all went well with the dr!! When are you going to retake the progesterone test?

Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

Yay Donna! I am so very glad that your test results were all OK and nothing is wrong in that department

AND I am glad that YOU realized the progesterone blood test was done on CD33 and NOT CD21 as your doctor had noted Good thing you were on top of that or else you would have been worrying unnecessarily!

i'm sure all will go well when you go for your repeat blood work, and hoping even more that THIS will be your month to get PG .. and you won't have to worry about this stuff for awhile..

Thank you Mrs. Positive.
Darn Flee- anytime I feel bad or even think about it, your right there with the positive talk...you should be one of theose"life coach" people or something

AND? Any Af for you?

Re: Hope I get a temp spike soon

Just wanted to fill you guys in on progesterone testing.

Gyn/obs ...test progesterone on cd21. That test is invalid...unless it's 7 dpo. In other words, you have ovulated on cd14....and then 7 dpo would be cd 21. Not many people ovulate exactly the way textbooks say.....most women DO NOT OVULATE ON DAY 14.

I ovulated very very early this cycle because I was on progesterone suppositories last cycle that delayed my AF. So I actually ovulated on day 11 this cycle...and had my progesterone checked......cd 18. Getting my progesterone tested on cd21, could be way to late for me...and I could lose the chance of saving a pregnancy. Some women don't ovulate until cd23,....therefore cd21, your progesterone is going to be a level 1.

Please be aware...that your progesterone level 7 dpo should be over a five to confirm ovulation....and over a 10 to be at a good level.....if you are not "medicated'. If you are on clomid....injections or something similiar......your progesterone needs to be over 15.


If you find out, you do have low "progesterone' trust me when I say this....it has a LOT TO DO WITH YOUR THYROID. Please don't accept answers like 'your thyroid is 'normal'.....get the exact levels of your tsh, t3 and t4. Make sure t3 and t4 have been tested!!!! Again, gyn don't usually test the thyroid intensely enough. Your tsh level should be between .5-2. for the first trimester.

If you are not ovulating...your thyroid is one of the main causes......it can also cause pcos.

A low level of progesterone means....that a) you haven't ovulated or b) the test was given on the wrong dpo!

Please try to be careful about going to gyn/ob for fertility testing. They do not have the board certification in endocrinology...which is the speciality of the endocrine system. It's like going to an orthopedic doctor for foot pain but in actuality it's arthritis you are dealing with.....or nerve damage.
