- Frustrated and waiting..... (ttc, mc ment)

[Guest guest]

,

The way I see it, you have everything to gain by calling your RE and

asking that you look into this change together. If they find nothing

wrong, that may help you feel more confident on you ttc'g efforts.

And if they find a problem, your RE can work toward fixing it so your

efforts won't be for nothin'.

FYI...I, too, had a clear BBT pattern prior to pg and directly after

my m/c. And my temps are now wacked out as well. They've

consistently remained at post-ov levels and rarely show a clear O

pattern - MAYBE a .2 jump and even then only for a few days. I asked

my doc to do tests to make sure my TSH and Progesterone were normal -

and they were. This all started when I increased my Clomid does to

100mg/day for cd3-7, so maybe it's the hot flashes that are

increasing my baseline BBT? Who knows, but I feel comfortable that

there isn't anything systemically wrong...and we've confirmed

ovulation via u/s and post-ovulatory pain.

Hope this helps.

Take care,
