Got my crosshairs...

I'm not sure that I believe them. My temps just aren't very high. Normally they're much higher by now, 7dpo. What do you ladies think?

And if I did ovulate on CD17 like it says... then I didn't BD enough. Better than most other times but sitll just not enough :-/ O-3 days and 0-1 day. 

Recently I found out (but a lot of research through my own notes and whatnot on fretility friend) that I ovulate on a "normal" basis of CD18. This WHOLE time (16 months) I've thought I've been ovulating on CD13/14. By CD18 we've lost stamina from having sex everyday starting at CD10 and ending on around CD14/15. So that's usually the stretch we don't have sex within even a WEEK of my fertile window. But at least I know now.


Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in an attractive and preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways......chocolate in one hand, wine in the other; body used up, totally worn out ....and screaming: "Woo Hoo, What A Ride!"

Its possible you O'd CD18 instead of 17, but I think CD17 may well be the day, too.  Your temp dip on 5DPO may be due to the estrogen surge we get on 5DPO (which is part of what makes me think you O'd CD17).

I think having sex the day before you O is good.  Plus you have the other swimmers there from 3 days before.  So I think  you have as good a shot as you can expect.

I wouldn't worry about the temps.  I'm sure if you look in the galleries on FF, you'll see BFP charts with temps that look like yours.

Thanks. I'm not really hoping too much this cycle...but I am, lol. I'm not too stressed about it this go round because I'm starting meds next cycle. This is more of a hurry up and wait cycle, haha.

Aren't hurry up & wait cycles wonderful? haha  I'm in the midst of several of those, too.  Last cycle, I O'd the day before my hsg.  Just lovely.  This cycle was the Clomid challenge.  I would technically get pregnant, but I'm doubtful that I will because I have 2 polyps (or something) in my uterus.  Next cycle, my RE does a procedure (hystoscope I think) to remove them.  Hopefully the cycle after that I can actually try again!
