Miserable.
It’s turning into just another cycle with no ovulation. I’m CD13 today, not a single hint that I’m going to ovulate at all – and no hope left. Thank goodness for the new RE visit next week, because I’m planning … Continue reading

Clomid, take 100mg.
I started temping and charting my cycles way back when. I knew I had issues with regular periods even before I was anywhere NEAR ready to TTC. I tracked my cycles so that I could force my GP to believe … Continue reading

New Year, New Frustrations.
I make no promises that I won’t be whinging or complaining or moping this year. I’m done with making promises that just aren’t realistic. Let’s face it: infertility sucks. This whole process sucks. Today, my emotions have gone through the … Continue reading

What to do?
I wish I had good news, that I’d ovulated, or was close to ovulating. Unfortunately, I don’t. We’re on CD19, no signs, 10 days of ‘high’ readings on the Fertility Monitor, all creamy CM, and the usual up/down erratic BBT … Continue reading
De. Ja. Vu.
It is CD13. I have no signs of O. Four days of high readings, four days of negative OPK’s. I just have this feeling that once again, Clomid isn’t going to make me ovulate this month. Time will tell.

BRING IT.
The progesterone worked like a charm – just like last time, AF arrived on the second day after I stopped. That brings my previous cycle to a grinding halt at 41 days, much nicer than 60+! (Though it would be … Continue reading

What the O?
So. I’m miffed, you guys. When I went and saw the RE this time last week, the answer was clear: the Clomid hadn’t worked, the blood test results checking for ovulation were negative, and the bets were on that I’d … Continue reading

The verdict. And some gut feelings.
Ok. Here’s the down-low. I didn’t ovulate this month. No surprises there, though the bloodwork basically just confirmed all of my charting and monitoring. He went through Mr. J’s SA paperwork and is concerned about the 11% morphology (<15% normal … Continue reading

If You’ve Got Nothing Nice to Say..
.. is it worth blogging? Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth having this blog when all I seem to talk about are the negative aspects. I was so positive at the beginning of this cycle, positive that the Clomid … Continue reading

High-Four!
Alright, I’ll admit it, my enthusiasm has waned a bit. I assumed that having a high reading on the CB Fertility Monitor would mean a peak would follow soon after and that maybe, just maybe, I’d ovulate this month after … Continue reading
