Also forgot to mention i've had the exact same temp for the last 4 days which is unusual for me. Usually i'm all over the place before O. Maybe the letrozole helped with that? I haven't changed anything else.

@mama My temp shot way up this morning instead of dropping. I’m getting really frustrated with my body. Maybe it’s because it didn’t cool off outside overnight like it has been lately. I don’t know, but it’s hard to track the bbt with temps being completely abnormal.
@crams I’m CD12 today, and hoping I O on time. We are all so close to catching the egg!
@lissa it would be hard TTC when you’re so tired. Hopefully you’ll gain some energy back during your fertile period!
AFM: I’m annoyed with my temps and I’m annoyed with my SO. Gonna be really hard to BD right now when I just wanna be mad at him. Lol.

Momma my temps are all over too. Dropped way down this morning. Not sure why. Haven’t really noticed any CM except this morning I have some but it’s not fertile it’s creamy like. I really hope my body isn’t trying to O. We haven’t got to BD enough yet! And I think my temps are all messed up because of the temps here too. CTP has me in my fertile week as of today. But FF isn’t until Friday. I want to give up opks but now I feel like I may miss it if I don’t use them. Grrr this is so frustrating

@Mama it is really frustrating. I understand. My cm has increased but is not fertile either. Creamy as well. So I think my temp rise is ok, because I’m assuming I won’t O until CD16-18 again this month. So just waiting for fertile cm and a temp drop. Remember it only takes one BD, so as long as you get it in close to the 24 hours of ovulation you’ll be fine. ????

Hey girls. Just wanted to update you after my second opinion RE appointment today. The doctor said he agrees with the diagnosis of extremely mild PCOS. He looked at my ovaries and said they don't look very polycystic right now. Maybe the supplements are kicking in. I would have thought the letrozole would have made more follicles but what the heck do i know? Anyway, he said based on my values i have plenty of eggs and even though i'm 41, my egg reserve is more like a mid-30 year old so i don't need to panic. He said to keep trying for a few more months then do IUI. He doesn't think i will need IVF but of course they do offer it if the IUI fails. The IUI price is $1600 per cycle so we need to decide when we want to bite the bullet and take on that expense for 1-3 cycles. Meanwhile, because i have PCOS and so much trouble with my weight despite my low carb diet and exercise, he prescribed me metformin. I'm going to start that tonight and hopefully not experience too many side effects. Have you guys taken metformin? Other than that i think i will just keep trying for a few more months before we move to something more invasive. He said not to worry about my fertility "falling off a cliff" based on my numbers. That was pretty reassuring and good to hear!

Yeah I don’t think I did O yet. But not sure what’s going on with this month. This is just crazy!

I’m currently on metformin Liisa. So far I haven’t been having to many side effects it upsets my stomach a little but nothing to bad. Other then that nothing to major. What dose does he have you taking or starting with?

@lissa That’s all very good news! I hope you don’t end up needing IUI, but that’s way cheaper than IVF.
@mama I’m right there with you. I have never ever had this high of temps pre O. I don’t have a clue what’s going on.

Hi girls! I had a temp drop this morning and tested with my digital OPK and got negative (it reads estrogen surge before LH). I don't have any signs of ovulation (got a little bit of sticky CM this morning but have been dry up to this point). I'm CD10 today so it's early. Tomorrow i go to my original RE for an U/S to decide when to trigger. I'm wondering now if they might want me to hold off for a few days? Time will tell.
@Mama I started the metformin last night. He wants me to take 500mg 1 pill for one week and then add a pill every week until i can tolerate 3 pills. I'm really worried about the side effects. I did read that the gastro issues are worse if you eat sugar -- which i don't do, so i'm hopeful i will be able to tolerate it. I also picked up my progesterone suppositories (200 mg) to start after O.
I'm hoping we all O at the same time so we can endure the TWW together. My LP is 16 days so if i O a little earlier we will probably all test around the same time still.

I have no clue when I am going to O because it’s been all over the place the last few months. My temps are still weird. Also hubby and I BD last night and after I went to the bathroom there was blood. Spotting really but it was strange I never spot after BD unless it’s right after AF leaves. And we BD the other night and nothing. Liisa I hope we are all in the same TWW also but unsure at this point.
