Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Okay, I just posted to about how frustrated I am with my BBT this cycle. Here is my situation. The Clomid sheet I have says ovulation occurs between cd12 and cd16. On cd13 and cd14 I had an LH surge, but I thought you were only supposed to get it one day. I had cm on cd16 and cd17 (more on cd16) but I still don't have a temp shift. My temps keep yo-yoing from 97.7 to 98.1 with temps in between. It looks like an anovulatory cycle but I am taking Clomid. Last month I had a temp shift on the Clomid but very little cm. Am I doing something wrong? I am so confused. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Uggghhhh!! I wish I could answer this one for you, like I have said, I don't know much about Clomid (only what I have heard here) and as you know, I was never good at the temp charting. I really hope someone else can help you with this......you know my fingers are crossed for you. spinachgirl2001@... wrote: Okay, I just posted to about how frustrated I am with my BBT this cycle.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 , I wish I could be of more help on this. I think I got pretty good at temping and reading charts, but I'm just not sure how Clomid effects that. From what I've learned here about Clomid, is that it helps you produce bigger/better eggs, but sometimes a person still may have trouble actually ovulating and releasing an egg...which is where an HCG shot comes in to play to trigger the release of an egg. I am by no means saying that this is what is happening to you, but it could be a possibility if you are seeing no clear signs of ovulation. I wish I had something better to share with, but my knowledge isn't extensive in these areas. -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Lets see... You count the LH surge as the first day. The LH levels can say high for a bit, but the clock starts on your first positive. You can o up to 48 hours after that which puts you on day 15. Temp shifts can be delayed for a few days, lets say 3, which puts a temp shift on day 18. I don't know about the cm, but you're only a day off on that given the above scenario. Someone before asked if I was checking cm internally and mentioned that you can spot cm a day earlier if you check internally. Could this be the case? If so, it sorta makes sense. I'm stretching it here, I know. But it sounds like it could happen, eh? If you had an LH surge, you most likely ovulated. Sometimes its hard to spot your thermal shift until the end of the cycle - which is no help right now. How is your cm now? I remember tcoyf says that if you notice some low temps that coicide with a little wet cm they are most likely estrogen surges that push your temp down. Hope I'm not making things worse. I should sign off. I'm such an obsessor - I don't want you to catch it! Becca > Okay, I just posted to about how frustrated I am with my BBT > this cycle. Here is my situation.
