Have you ever had a day where one song seemed to be surrounding you, constantly? Today at work, there was a toy lion sitting in the ‘for sale’ book box – when you pressed him, he sang and danced to … Continue reading →

Progesterone Makes Me Stabby

Posted on January 8, 2012 by operationjaguar

Yeah, yeah, that age old excuse of blaming the medication for turning you into a monster. Seriously – for me, Clomid does nothing, aside from the occasional hot flush. Progesterone, on the other hand, sees me turn from a cute … Continue reading →

What to do?

Posted on December 29, 2011 by operationjaguar

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 →

The perfect Christmas gift?!

Posted on December 14, 2011 by operationjaguar

So here’s some numbers and dates that I’ve been looking at lately – if the Clomid does it’s job this time around: If you take Clomid for 5 days from 12/12/2011 to 12/16/2011, you would expect to ovulate between 12/21/2011 … Continue reading →

What the O?

Posted on December 5, 2011 by operationjaguar

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 →

If You’ve Got Nothing Nice to Say..

Posted on November 28, 2011 by operationjaguar

High-Four!

Posted on November 23, 2011 by operationjaguar

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 →

Whoa Nelly!

Posted on November 20, 2011 by operationjaguar

CD 21. I have been using my new Clearblue Fertility Monitor this past few days – which isn’t recommended midway through a cycle, but damnit, I wanted to test it out. (For those wondering, I’ll just be doing a hard … Continue reading →

*head desk*

Posted on November 17, 2011 by operationjaguar

Alright, I’m grumpy. My temps are not showing a particular dip or rise that suggests ovulation, all OPK’s are negative, and even my Clearblue Fertility Monitor still has me on the lowest possible reading. It’s CD18 now and there is … Continue reading →
