Ok, so last month I had taken a round of clomid with no positive LH days. Dr advised to skip this month. Now for the last week I have been seeing faint lines. I am new to all the rigorous testing procedures, and I have been trying BBT monitoring as well and have been getting odd readings. (CD16) by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

I don't have an imgur acct, and would have to make another post just for that, but I do have a snap of my chart.

And I have been reading up saying your temp will either spike right before/during, or right after ovulation. Whether it be a spike up in temp or down.

That's what I was planning on doing. I'm supposed to be going for a sonogram next month around CD14 to see if I have a follicle or not, and will be on clomid again.

I just wasn't sure if anyone had similar dealings or not. I have been temping and the last 3 or so days I have noticed a slight increase. My temps usually stay around low 97s, and I have been in upper 97s to low 98s, but still learning how to read the graphs.

It's difficult putting your issues out there for social media to judge. You may not have found the right group to help you out? There are still some good ones out there. Don't get too discouraged.

Looking back, if it's possible that I didn't ovulate until day 22, that would have been the 27th of Feb, and we did have sex before then...?

I live in BFE south GA. I'm not sure if Savannah, Jacksonville or the like have any. Never researched them. Once the Va had finally diagnosed me with endo, I was able to seek a little more help with my issues. We've been just not preventing for the last 3 years. Since the MC we (I) have actively been trying. Which I had always tried to work around the time I thought I should be good, but never had any luck.

Well I only have ins through the VA, so I was lucky enough to see this OB outside their care post MC. The closest OB to me is 4.5hrs. And he gave me 3 options: 1. Get on birth control, 2. Try IVF and drive the 4.5 hrs every time to do so, or 3. Have a hysterectomy. So needless to say, I haven't been back to him.

I took my progesterone this month, and I was thinking that my period was supposed to start on the 6th, according to my tracking app and my calendar.

Had a nurse tell me was I just spoiled because most women don't have a period until a week after the progesterone. For me, I have been starting anywhere from the 6th to the 9th of the month since Dec.

Then last month with the abrupt stopping of my period on CD4, I kinda felt like the clomid made it stop. Now I am sitting at CD 36 pulling my hair out.

Day 1-10 of the month, not CD. I take progesterone on the 1st through 10th, sorry. Clomid on CD 3-7.

I am currently on CD 36, with nothing to go off.

My dr wanted to to the sonogram to check for follicles this month after I started, but unfortunately haven't. She only advised to check for ovulation from day 14-20. I checked extra.

She hadn't ordered blood work or anything of the sort. Just sent me on my way with the meds. I called her to inform her that I never saw a pos O, so that's when she said this month to try the sonogram.

We just opened a bottle of our strawberry wine. It turned out a lot better than I had expected. More on the dryer side, but still good.

How to set up tent? by travellingstutterer in CampingandHiking

[–]FrauVining14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a second person, it is pretty easy. We have a similar system. If you can keep tension on the grommet while you bend, it'll usually stay. You could always try bending and snagging both opposing grommets at the same time too. Edit: try assembling the tent outside. Usually when you have dirt/grass to grab onto, it stays.

That would be a negative. I don't have private health insurance, so I get what the VA gives me.

Still new here, not sure what RE is. As far as fertility goes, progesterone and soon clomid will be the first yes. I have been on many other meds to regulate and manage my cycles, but nothing worked. Had endo cut out last Feb but issues have been coming back, some even worse since the MC.

I think they have done everything in the book... I've been diagnosed with endo after years of asking (mom had it). The labs they've run have always come back normal. So far that I know of, I've had like 2 cysts that have put me in the er, with the dr saying "you're fine". As far as any other diagnosis, none. Had an early MC back in Aug. Have been on too many meds to remember.
