Hello Ladies, I have been gone awhile due to wanting to strengthen my mental health with concerns of "not"...

Posted by jon3brn

Hello Ladies, I have been gone awhile due to wanting to strengthen my mental health with concerns of "not" becoming pregnant month after month. It was heart breaking, month after month, after month getting AF or seeing a BFN on the tests. If we are unable to conceive naturally, medical assisted pregnancy will be the next step. Whether we succeed or fail, it will be an emotional rollercoaster. So we needed to get prepared. So even though I have not been on the board circuit for some time, I have been perfecting I guess my style for cycle tracking. I am now on Cycle 5 of Ovagraph.com. Which I take my bbt btw 6-630 AM everyday, enter in my temp, time and additional symptoms and by day 27 of my cycle, I have a cycle pattern. Based upon this cycle, I have been able to determine whether or not I have ovulated. Come the next cycle, DH and I can then focus our BD'ing around the previous cycles information.

This type of charting is not having any negative effects on my mental health. I am utilizing this time to fact find and information gather. Hopefully during the month of Jan. no later than Feb. I will have enough information about my cycle to provide to our RE and be able to move forward rather quickly. Thus far, I am in my 5th cycle, I have determined that my irregular periods are becoming regular after gaining the recommended 5-8pds by my obgyn. She said my bmi was too low to be able to suppport a regular cycle. After doing so, my cycles are now 27 days. Also, I appear to be ovulating on day 14-15. With that said, I now have regular cycles and ovulating regularly. So I now have moved passed the speculation of not ovulating and ruled out any ovulatory dysfunction.

Now my attention is drawn upon the amount of days following ovulation until my next cycle start date. A regular luteal phase (post-ovulation) can be from 10-14 days. Anything less is considered a luteal phase defect. My luteal phase is teetering btw 12-13 days. Which is still in the normal range. But, within those 10-14 days your bbt (basal body temp) has to have at least 10 high temperatures. Which cycle 1 was inconclusive (missed a day or two), cycle 2 fine, cycle 3: 8 high temps, cycle 4: 7 high temps. Highest and lowest temps: C1 97.9/96.7, C2 97.8/96.7, C3 98.1/96.6, C4 97.8/96.6. Cycle 5 is shaping up to be the lowest temps to date, thus far my highest temp is 97.55 and the lowest is 97.4.

Some sites state the pre-ovulatory (follicular phase) temps should range from 96.5 to 97.4, post-ovulatory (luteal phase) temps should range from 97.5 to 98.?. But with the added bonus every woman is different. I have also begun my introduction to charting CM (cervical mucous) CP (cervical position) and cervical firmess. These 3 areas are presenting with some challenges. But like the rest, I will become an informational guru. Hopefully, with all the knowledge, I will be able to go right into our RE offices, state what I think is the issue, have him test for those issues and proceed to a treatment plan.

At this time, I think our best rate for success would be for both my DH and I to take 3 cycles of clomid at 50mg in combination with ultrasound monitoring and IUI. The clomid will help increase my CM, increase my luteal phase and produce more follicles. For him clomid will help produce more quality sperm with better motility. So with the IUI procedure, there "should" be more good than better uping our chances for success. At least that is what I am hoping. This will also familarize us with the IUI procedure in case Clomid does not work and we have to move on with injectables.

Its a lot of information to process. But if you made it this far, what I writing about has kept you intrested. If you have any questions or you didnt understand something that I spoke about. Please feel free to respond to my post.

Have a wonderful Columbus Day!!!!View Thread
