Iono.

Hi from CD 27.

I could be either 9 DPO today... or 4 DPO... or none at all. No way to really tell this cycle. I've had positive OPK's, 2 peak days on my monitor, a slight shift of temps... but none at one day or point on my chart. So, couple that with my non-ovulatory blood work and nothing makes sense.

I took a HPT tonight. It was negative... which, any scenario above would made it so. But something came over me, and I couldn't control myself.

I have been cramping the last 2 days. They feel like PMS cramps. I thought for sure Aunt Flo had arrived today. I even went to the restroom at work... fully prepared to deal with her. But it wasn't her. Not even a little pink. Nada. Just crampy. But I'm taking that as a good sign. Any other time I've had those crampy feelings, I would start that same day. But still no sign of Aunt Flo. *fingers crossed that she stays away*

So yeah. I'll wait for at least another 9-10 days before I try and figure everything out (read as: obsess over every little detail).

On a happy note... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss SJ!! She turned 6 today!! :)

All hope is not lost!

Well, even though I did not appear to respond to the first round of Clomid... I did, however, get a + OPK this morning... as well as a PEAK reading on my monitor!!

So... here's to hoping I ovulate on my own tomorrow! Only temps will tell, I suppose... which have not really been as high as they have been in the luteal phase... which, since I didn't ovulate makes sense.

Stay tuned!

CD 21 :(

I got crosshairs this morning on my chart. According to it... I ovulated a couple of days ago.

I also had my blood drawn this morning for my serum progesterone test.

According to it... I didn't.

My level came back at 0.7.

So, broken-hearted, I went to my message boards to cry on the shoulder of fellow TTC'ers.

The general question that came up was, "Why did they test your levels so soon after ovulation?" Seems that most/all other girls have their levels checked around 7DPO or later. Me, just being 1-3 DPO today, my levels wouldn't be high at all... and would look like I hadn't O'd at all. They were all like, "Ask to re-test in a few days." And, "Don't rule out ovulation yet!"

So, my hope was basically shattered until they were all telling me that it's still very possible that I did actually ovulate. Esp. considering I had a temp. shift... and a positive OPK.

So, here's to BABY DUST and crossed fingers (and toes!) that I am pregnant this cycle.

Please let me be pregnant this cycle. I don't think I can handle 100mg of Clomid next cycle.
