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!!!!!!!!

Christine, I have read up on the subject myself but yet charting still confuses the heck out of me. It basically is using your temps and other 'signs' of ovulation to try and pinpoint your O'd date, as well as seeing if you look like you are on track to pregnancy
The zig zag lines are Donna's temps .. the stuff at the bottom signifies when she BDd, when she got a positive on her ovulation stick, and the changes in her cervical fluid.
See Kathy usually has really pretty charts - so hers are easy to read. 
The book TCOYF will help expalin all of it much better than I could here .. I actually need to brush up on it myself since I do plan to chart next month and am concerned I won't know what the heck I'm doing 
Donna , of course I am of NO HELP with your chart, Im sorry But good luck at the doctor's tonight!!

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.

THANKS Deb and everyone else. Thats what I thought, that it was too early for a rise yet anyhow.
Dr's visit was fine..MY PAP WAS FINE! THANK GOD..I was scared to DEATH!
I did have a slightl yeast infection...could that have caused no EWCM for me( I thought I might have had an infection, but it went away , the symptoms, after like 2-3 days)
Thyroids and all are good.
Heres the kicker she tells me " I called you because your progesterone was at 1 and it should be over 17 on day 21".
Well shes talking some more and I'm like CD21?? She had be take the test on CD33!!!
She never told me that she was testing progesterone and to have it done on cd21!
SO...Obvioulsy the progesterone test is not valid. Having that done this cycle ( Monday is cd21) and then she said try 3 more months of opk's and temping if that test is normal.
Ughh.....

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..

Oh gosh Donna - me, Mrs. Positive? A life coach? Anthony would laugh out loud at that one, he calls me Queen of Negativity most days!!
I should say I am postiive for everyone BUT myself that is -
And no, STILL NO AF and STILL BFNs.. I dont even talk about it anymore because I'm so confused. I am going to my doctor on Monday if I'm still waiting for AF to see what she says

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.
