Intro -- mind if I chart stalk all of you?

Hi,

Hope you don't mind if I post on here sometimes.  I love chart stalking and I have charted about 30 of my own cycles, so I have some experience.  

My history: We were diagnosed with infertility after about 18 months of trying and one miscarriage.  The doctor recommended IVF because of low sperm count.  But, we decided to treat him with testosterone treatment instead and got our sticky BFP on the first IUI (after one cancelled IUI).  DS is 10 months old.

My future: We will be starting to TTC#2 in February. I am currently on the mini pill because I can't miss my brother's out of town wedding in September.  I am also nursing twice a day and pumping once and my period has not returned.  I take a pg test every couple weeks, just to make sure.  I am going to start weaning DS at the end of January. DH will be going back to get his sperm checked in Feb or March.   Wish us luck!  :)

Welcome, and good luck!

My chart makes very little sense, but you're welcome to take a look! I'm also breastfeeding my 14 month old, but I nurse quite a bit more than you do at this point. DS nurses to sleep for naps and bedtime, and he frequently comfort nurses. I have not had a PP period yet and still haven't ovulated, from what I can tell.

FX for good test results for your DH!

I don't mind if you chart stalk me (that's why I keep it in my siggy :-P).  Mine is also not very exciting, we're on cycle 3.

I love that siggy pic you have about rocking your baby! I think about it sometimes when I rock DS to sleep and I start feeling like I am "spoiling" him or something.

Looks like no O yet.  Are you thinking of weaning a feeding or two to help TTC?  I am sad that I have to wean to get my period back, but I'm okay with having the extra time in the morning and not having to pump at work anymore. Yay!  But I am going to try to keep the bedtime nursing session for a little while.

 Your second cycle is very interesting. It looks anovulatory, but I have rarely seen a short anovolatory cycle.  So, I bet you did ovulate, but your temps were off. 

This month's chart is still looking hopeful for you.  Good luck!

We'll probably go in the beginning of next year.  DH (teacher and coach) works crazy long hours until the end of January and we figured that he should be there for the first consult.  I just need to call and make the appointment.  :/ 

We didn't go earlier this year because DH is on synthroid and they had to up his dosage because he was low - we wanted to wait a few months after his meds were increased, in case that had any effect.  I believe last cycle was three months after the dosage increase.

:) We'll see.  (But like I said - exceedingly boring)

The thought has entered my mind to lengthen the time between feedings, but we are really in no hurry to TTC. We were thinking of starting in March. If I still haven't ovulated then, I may try to partially night wean.

I really love our breastfeeding relationship and plan to let DS wean himself when he is ready. I had some scary medical stuff recently and opted for a somewhat risky surgery over a less invasive treatment that required weaning. I have a scar across my neck that reminds me just how important it is to me that I can breastfeed DS. It's a personal decision, but for me, letting DS nurse has been a significant gift and sacrifice for him. He gets it as long as he wants it!

ETA: you might want to try giving up pumping at work before weaning and see if that's enough to cause you to ovulate.

Welcome and I would love a chart stalk.  I was going to post, but I hate taking up a whole thread.  This is my first month, but is it normal to have temps so close to the CL after O?  I haven't seen that nice climb that most get, and I'm afraid that FF will take away my CH.  I stopped taking OPK after they went back negative, but I'm wondering if I should have kept it up.  Also, this is my first month post-Mirena.  TIA

Ok!

Your chart looks great.  You definitely ovulated.  I actually stop charting after three temps that are higher than my last six -- that's when you get crosshairs.  As long as the temps generally stay higher (and even one or two might dip below cover line) you are good.  My temps after ovulation could be a slow climb, a sudden one-day rise or a wacky up and down like yours -- but they are all good.  Regarding OPKs, I think they are a pain in the butt, so I would not keep taking them after they turn negative again and you've got a good rise like you do.  Some people say to stop taking them after one positive, because that's the signal that your LH is rising anyway and the number of days you get a positive is not really relevant.  Feel free to post for others to stalk though!

Ok. I just ordered a plaque with that poem on it for the nursery, I love it so!

I totally understand the nursing thing, definitely keep it up as long as you can.  Since I have turned 35 and we have infertility issues, I'm afraid I have to sacrifice it to start TTC as soon as I can.  I am definitely giving up the pumping first and then try giving up the morning nurse, so maybe just giving up pumping will work.

Hmmm.  Well, good luck.  Since your charts are so regular, I might assume that the issue is with him, but you never know until the tests....  Good luck!  Male infertility is so tough on the guys, you have to be gentle. :)

Not that I know of, but I do wake up 5+ times a night because of my husband's snoring.  Usually I fall right back asleep, but if it is close to my temp time and I know I won't get at least 2 more hours of sleep then I temp.  It's nearly impossible to get 3 hours uniterrupted unless one of us is completely drunk or DH is on the couch. ;) All my open circles are from temping 1-2 hours before normal time.  If this chart doesn't start making sense, maybe I will try temping vaginally.  I'm not usually shy about things like that, but I'm just hesitant and not sure what DH would say.

ETA: spelling

Your chart looks great.  You definitely ovulated.  I actually stop charting after three temps that are higher than my last six -- that's when you get crosshairs.  As long as the temps generally stay higher (and even one or two might dip below cover line) you are good.  My temps after ovulation could be a slow climb, a sudden one-day rise or a wacky up and down like yours -- but they are all good.  Regarding OPKs, I think they are a pain in the butt, so I would not keep taking them after they turn negative again and you've got a good rise like you do.  Some people say to stop taking them after one positive, because that's the signal that your LH is rising anyway and the number of days you get a positive is not really relevant.  Feel free to post for others to stalk though!

I would stop temping, but I'm kind of addicted. And, I agree that OPKs are a PIA but I'm a poas-aholic as well. I'm thinking about starting a group addict meetings because I get the feeling I'm not alone. ;)  I guess I'm just worried about them dipping way below the CL, but it sounds like that is normal too. Time for me to stop obsessing (which I knew all along). Thanks!

My charts are alarmingly boring, but feel free to stalk away.

Welcome good luck!  I hope that YH's SA next year is great!

This month's looking pretty good so far for you. But I see you've been trying for a while. Have you been to the doc?

We'll probably go in the beginning of next year.  DH (teacher and coach) works crazy long hours until the end of January and we figured that he should be there for the first consult.  I just need to call and make the appointment.  :/ 

We didn't go earlier this year because DH is on synthroid and they had to up his dosage because he was low - we wanted to wait a few months after his meds were increased, in case that had any effect.  I believe last cycle was three months after the dosage increase.

:) We'll see.  (But like I said - exceedingly boring)

Hmmm.  Well, good luck.  Since your charts are so regular, I might assume that the issue is with him, but you never know until the tests....  Good luck!  Male infertility is so tough on the guys, you have to be gentle. :) 

Thanks! 

Yeah, he's said that he thinks it might be him a few times, but I keep telling him that although I'm O'ing, for all we know I could have blocked tubes or something else going on - I do have PMDD.  I wanted to make sure that he was ready to do testing, though, because guys are so sensitive about it.

Welcome and Good luck! You are welcome to stalk my charts but they are pretty ugly and with no CHs until now (and only now because I did a manual override).  And this cycle I stopped temping completely because it became clear that the meds were messing with my temperatures which made temping pointless (this was my first Clomid cycle).

Charts are kindof fun to look at though aren't they?  Do you ever play the game on FF? 



TTC #1 for 22 months with Dx of PCOS
2 Rounds of Clomid + TI and 1 round of Clomid + IUI = BFN
IUI#2 7.5mg Femara + Ovidrel = BFP!!
Beta#1 @ 13dpiui = 107 Beta#2 @16dpiui = 370

Welcome and good luck! 

 I've been charting since my first PP cycle. I think it's interesting how my cycles have gotten shorter once we started TTC.

I have an incomplete chart, but feel free to stalk it :)

Hmm, your chart is inconclusive.  If not for the opks, I would not think you had ovulated. It's possible that you did, but that temp rise is not very high.  Think it's a wait and see game for you.  Good luck!

Are you a mouth breather?

Not that I know of, but I do wake up 5+ times a night because of my husband's snoring.  Usually I fall right back asleep, but if it is close to my temp time and I know I won't get at least 2 more hours of sleep then I temp.  It's nearly impossible to get 3 hours uniterrupted unless one of us is completely drunk or DH is on the couch. ;) All my open circles are from temping 1-2 hours before normal time.  If this chart doesn't start making sense, maybe I will try temping vaginally.  I'm not usually shy about things like that, but I'm just hesitant and not sure what DH would say.

ETA: spelling

Maybe he won't notice?  :)  lol.  I'd like to see you explain that one if you are caught though!  I'd say as long as you see a good temp shift, then don't worry about the other variations.
