Are you guys using OPK? I hate wonky cycles. My poor chart -- it's a total mess from the trigger shot and it's flat as a pancake. I had to manually input my ovulation as Monday so i'm 2 DPO today. I started the progesterone suppositories this morning. So far nothing interesting to note from that. I am sad tho that i won't be able to symptom spot this month because everything i feel will probably be related to those suppositories. I will be upping my metformin to 1000 mg tonight. I'm taking a strong probiotic with those and watching what i eat so hopefully my stomach will be able to handle it. Praying for you both that you O today -- if you do then we can all test together because my LP is 16 days so AF isn't due until 6/27. Come on girls lets catch some eggies!!!!!

I do use opks and they’re not being very helpful! My LP has only been 11 days lately so I may be testing before you Liisa if I ever O. My dosage since I went up to 1500mg hasn’t really been bothering me. My body has adjusted to it nicely. I was hoping it would kick in already this month but I don’t think it has. Here’s hoping it’ll help with next month. This is a chart of my opks they are the purple line

Momma how did you get your RHR on there? I’m getting an I Watch tomorrow that monitors it so I would like to be able to add it on to my FF chart

Ok so negatives this morning. I'm 11dpo, still taking my progesterone suppositories so my LP will be 14 days.

Starting to feel down. The equates may have gotten my hopes up too much. Had a little mild cramping for a few minutes last night...not sure what that could have been.

Hoping there is still a chance??? Got bfp wit 20 Mo old at 10dpo. Kinda figured something would show by now.

@mama and lissa I do not use OPKs anymore, because I tend to have 2-3 estrogen surges a month. So the OPKs were stressing me out and making me second guess my O date. I started realizing that if I can feel pretty confident that I know my O day by bbt alone, it almost always ends with a 14 day LP regardless of when I O. So I just stick with that now.
@crams I never trust blue dye anymore. I used to, but it just seems like I would get too many evaps or false tests. So sorry they let you down. It sucks so bad when you’re sure you have a BFP and then you get negatives. TTC is so heartbreaking sometimes.
@mama I added a custom line onto my FF for my RHR. I think it may have been after I paid for VIP though.

Sorry Crams - i'm still hopeful for you!!!
@Mama do you take two pills (500 mg) at one time of the metformin or do you spread the dose out throughout the day? Trying to decide if i should take one in the morning and one at night or just take two at night since the side effects haven't been that bad.
@Momma i hope you get a clear temp rise soon to confirm O!!!
The progesterone is kicking in -- i feel hot and the heartburn has already started. I haven't had heartburn since my previous pregnancy that ended in M/C.

@lissa I was so weepy when I was on progesterone. I cried about everything happy or sad lol.

Momma I think I figured it out we’ll see. And Liisa I take 2 in the morning and one in the afternoon. I haven’t tried all at once. But the 2 at once don’t seem to bother me. I think I’ll be O tomorrow I got a pretty close to peak opk today! I’ve also been super nauseous today. Which I was last month around O time. I’m ready to start this TWW

This was my pretty close to positive opk

Looks pretty close Mama! Yay for O! Thanks for letting me know about how you take the pills. I think i'm going to try two at night since i'm taking one at night now and then when i need to add the third pill i'll do it in the morning. I take all my supplements at night now so its just easier for me to take everything before i go to bed.
@momma -- i'm not crying yet but just started the progesterone this morning. As if the TWW wasn't torture enough already....
