I'm feeling super positive about this cycle. I'm planning on telling the story that once we finally decided to proceed with Clomid and IUI because of my inhospitable uterus : ) we (sorta) quit trying and it worked! I say sort of because I can't quit trying, it's not in my DNA.
I started taking the 4mg of Folic Acid and low-dose aspirin at 1 dpo so maybe that will make a difference? All I know so far is that I have more high temps than I've ever had 4 days in. I also ovulated on the early side for me, CD18, the same day I ovulated during the cycle I got pregnant. Maybe my body is angry that we're trying to bypass it and tried harder all it's own?
Here's my chart:
See all the 97.9's from the last 3 days? I sometimes get one temp that high, but very rarely 3 or more. my temp usually hangs around 97.6 or .7 through the mid part of the cycle and then I start to spot. I'm hoping if it stays mostly high, maybe that won't happen. I literally can't wait each morning to check my temp...I take it at 5:20, but don't read it until I really wake up. (I've made that mistake before. It flashes for literally a second and sleepy eyes often don't read that quickly.)
For me this is the positive-emotions, but crazy-lady part of my cycle. I start to compare my chart to pregnancy charts on TCOYF. I hope to get really tired and crampy around 7dpo. I try my hardest not to symptom spot any further than that because I know that most symptoms don't appear until well after a BFP. And then I wait patiently to get a new temp to add to my data set. Oh, and I always check the possible baby's due date as soon as I O. This maybe baby is due on --
OMG. I just looked it up now and you won't believe it. It would be due on my birthday!! July 31st. That would be super special. (I might be getting a little teary.)
I'll let you know how this cycle ends up in about a week. Cross your fingers for me!
Now don't worry, this doesn't mean I'll be devastated if AF shows again. Because we have a plan for next month that will make it different from this one. But I'm going to keep hoping.
This is looking so positive! Gosh, I hope I O soon so I can join you. We haven't had a shot in AGES, and it sucks.
