November Complete Chart

This chart shows my temps through one cycle. The red in the middle (10dpo-16dpo) is my "period". See how my temps do not dip below my cover line but get higher. 

Confusion

Hello! 

It's been awhile. I had a long relaxing weekend during AF. It was a weird and short 6 day bleed. My temp today spiked high, which isn't normal after AF. To be honest, I messed around and combined last cycle with this, and I didn't go below my cover line at all.. I didn't before, during of after "AF". Very odd. So I took a HPT! I see a faint line.  What?! I get up at 230 every morning, pee, get a drink, then go back to bed. I took this test at 6am. My urine was light yellow.. Probably should have waited. But here it is! Tell me what you think! It is , grossly, right where the hair is. 😖

Friday the 13!

Good morning my beauties!

Today I feel great, even though it is FRIDAY THE 13!

 I woke up and decided to make breakfast, which I normally skip. I made a delicious omelet. I am pending taking my 1st Metformin, I try to take 1000mg a day but after the first day of 1000mg, the nausea is HORRENDOUS! I am hoping my hearty breakfast will reduce the nausea. My vision was terrible last night, which doesn't surprise me. Clomid always takes my vision for granted! My back is still killing me, I suppose that is what happens during AF! Learning something new everyday!

I also started a couple new blogs about my life, my disorder and dogs!

Thanks for stopping by!

Clomid day 1

I just took clomid for the 4th cycle. I hate it. My vision is very important to me, and it always makes me feel blurred. I'm entering this cycle hopeful but scared. A mountain of pain is worth an ounce of joy. 

You rang?

Good morning everyone! I woke up to a call from the doc today. She told me that it's good news I started on my own, despite how bad it hurt. So, the next step is to figure out what I am doing this cycle. Clomid? Herbs? Acupuncture? I have to make a decision by tonight. Either way, here we go!

Cycle Day 2

Today is CD 2 if this bleeding is AF. If you check out my November FF chart you can see where I did indeed ovulate. From all the charts I have ever done, I never start my period this early.. if ever on my own. Today would be 11 DPO, which means I started bleeding at 10 DPO, very unusual. I originally thought it to be IB (implantation bleeding) but from today's heavy flow.. I am thinking Aunt Flow decided she wanted to rudely interrupt my hopeful 2ww. :( UGH! This cycle has left me distraught and discouraged. I am going to a consultation next cycle with a Chinese Acupuncturist. Hoping that I will never go to "next cycle". If my GYN allows it, I will do one more cycle of 50mg clomid and 1000mg metformin.. if she ever calls me back about my prescription.. 

I digress.. Today should be a celebration! I did indeed start AF on my own, hooray! Hopefully this is just another step towards our little hope turning into a reality.
