Is My Pre Ovulation Temp Too High? Help!
Posted: 02-05-07 15:17pm

Hi folks
i need some advice. My pre ovulation
temps are around 98.0-98.3, and then once
I ovulate they are 98.6-98.7. This seems
high to me...And when I look at other
people's charts they have temps around
97~
does anybody else have temps like me?
Here is my chart
http://www.Fertilityfr
iend.Com/home/8afa7
any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Dprssd- I think it is the pattern that
matters, not the level of the temperature.
One thing that ff lets you do is search
for other charts like yours. If you do
this, you'll see that there are others
with pre-o temps similar to yours.  in fact, I just
did a search for charts with pre-o temps
of 98.3 and came up with a bunch of
charts.

Thanks shortgeek - that makes me feel
waaaay better.
I can't see those charts unless I signup
for vip status. I guess I should just
bite the bullet and get a membership. I
had hoped i'd be pregnant by now.
Thank you!

Thanks volaremos.
I have my 1st appointment at the fertility
specialist tomorrow. I'm very excited.
I'm going to ask them about my temps. We
have been ttc for 19mths, i'm 38 yrs old,
dh is 33. None of the many tests i've had
over the past year revealed any reason for
not conceiving. So I think we are going
to try the iui route. We'll see what the
re says. I'm on cd 5, so I hope we can
try this cycle.
Wish me luck. I hope this is the year!
Baby dust...Baby dust...Baby dust....

Dr's Visit
Posted: 02-18-07 11:51am

Thanks shortgeek
let me tell you about the dr's visit.
Some good...And some bad.
She said given my age: 38, and the
endometriosis, my chances of conceiving
each month are around 5%. Not great.
But, I had an ultrasound and she said some
of her clients would kill to have my
ovaries (hee hee) and she saw 16 healthy
follicles waiting. So i'm not running out
of eggs anytime soon. She is basically
reccomending iui with clomid.
Unfortunately we can't do iui this cycle
because they have to do a bunch of blood
tests first and we won't get the test
results back before I o. We are going to
be in mexico on holiday for the march
cylcle when I o...So we have to wait until
april to try our first iui. Oh well.
I've waited 19 months, I guess I can wait
a few more. We'll keep trying in the
meantime.
So that was the visit. It was very
clinical, very little emotional support.
But at least I got the facts.
Thanks for your support. I was sitting
with my girlfriends yesterday after our
regular saturday morning run and they
asked me how the appt went, and one was
basically interested in everything else
going on in the coffee shop rather then
hearing my results. It really upset me.
She already has a baby and gets impatient
if I ever mention my challenges with
fertility. It really hurts to have
someone you care about be so insensitive
and dismissive. I appreciate having this
board to vent. I know all of you girls
would never be dismissive.
Oh, and by the way...She said my chart
looked great, and it didn't matter how
high my temps were, if I had the pattern-i
was ovulating pheuff
thank you!!

I'm glad the dr's appt was positive.
My husband and I aren't telling people
that we are ttc, so this board is my only
outlet other than him. I wish I could
talk to people sometime about it.
Particularly when I get af, because I'm
usually so hormonal that I feel very
distracted and guarded. This forum is a
great outlet for support.
Your friend might be interested in your
troubles but feel uncomfortable or guilty
about it, especially if she conceived
right away. In other words, if your
having trouble with something that wasn't
a problem for her, she might not know how
to support you or might feel guilty
because she didn't have a problem. I
imagine that if it took her a year or so
or if she did iui, she would be more
connected to the topic.

hi! i pretty much agree with shortgeek
about your friend. i also found that
people who didn't have any problems really
just don't understand how it feels. for me
they always came back with oh you are
fine, or it takes time, or it will happen
when it is time. i would get so frustrated
and just want to yell and say why can't
you just listen to me!!! but they don't
know any better and don't know how to make
you feel better and probably do feel a
little guilty. i didn't tell anyone i was
having troubles besides my mom and a girl
i work with. (and dh of course!)
good luck with your iui! did your Dr
suggest any surgery to get rid of the
endemetriosis? i have heard that can
really help.

Thank girls.
Yeah...I know...she just doesn't
understand. She pretty much got bfp right
away. I'm happy for anyone who doesn't
have to go through this. It's very
frustrating!!
I had surgery for Endo in Oct. It was a
mild case, however combined with my age,
it can impact fertility just the same.
I am going to try clomid next cycle for
the first time. Hopefully that might do
the trick.
I'm feeling a little down this morning.
Another friend is pregnant. I and feel so
guilty...but this is the 23rd person that
is pregnant in the 19 months we've been
ttc. I know I really shouldn't think that
way, but man...what gives, I deserve it
too

Aww. I'm sorry. Just remember, you're
not mad at anyone for getting pregnant,
but perhaps a bit envious. Those feelings
are natural and its better to recognize
them than to hide them.

the Secret

Thanks Shortgeek. I'm trying to relieve
the guilt.
I watched this movie called The Secret
this past weekend.
It kind of helped me put things into
prespective, and it had great tools to try
and stay positive and focus on your goals.
I highly reccomend it to anyone with a
personal struggle. Oprah reccomends it
Anyway...that baby news this moring kind
of threw me off my positive track, I'll
get back on! I'll get back on!

DPrssd - I know exactly what you mean
about other people getting pregnant so
easily. Right now as I sit at work, there
are two people that are pregnant. Also,
my husbands friends wife is pregnant, and
to top things off, my sister in law is
pregnant with their second. Its real hard
to see everyone have no troubles at all
getting pregnant.
It is really hard on me with my sister in
law, because she didn't try at all. She
missed a couple of her pills one
month...and bamo..here comes number two.
Also, no one in my whole family has ever
had any problems with getting pregnant. I
have tons of cousins, and they all have
more than one child. I am literally the
only one of 14 1st cousins that does not
have any children.
WHAt gives???

Hi Star
I hear you sister....I hear you loud and
clear. Nobody in my family is pregnant
right now...my sister is done. She has 4.
No problems there. All the In-Laws are
done too. It's work and friends that are
so "productive".
I think there is a baby boom. I swear.
People say..."no there isn't, you only
notice because it is a situation that
applies to you right now". But I swear
there is a baby boom. I've never seen so
many pregnant people! I'm hoping some of
their baby dust rubs off on me, and all of
us for that matter.

Wow, Finally People That Feel As I Do

It's nice to know I am not alone. My
husband and I have been trying for 2
years. After 2 miscarriages and many
tests, I am on my second month of Clomid.
I got my very very painful af yesterday
and was once again dissapointed. 3 of my
friends are pregnant and I too am the only
one in my family that is having problems.
My brother is 5 years yonger at 31 and has
two kids. Everywhere I look, preganant
women...They are all over the place...I am
happy for them and sad for me. It really
hurts.

Hi girls
Well i am in the same boat with you all. I
know the feeling, Every month i get
emotionaly so depressed after af. & i
am like the only one in my family cousins
or friends, who is taking so long to get
preg.
My elder sis is preg & its a oops
baby. My younger sis has baby & my
other younger is got married recently, I
will get so disappointed if she gets preg
before me.
I havent told anyone about my ttc, only DH
& my online friends. & i am so
thankfull for all the support i get from
here.
Hopefully we all will get our lil bundle
of joy soon. Good luck everyone .HUGS HUGS

All you girls are so amazing. I get
strength from your words, and just reading
that someone else is feeling what I'm
feeling has eased some of the burden I
feel. Someday we will all be incredible
moms. Our children will be so
loved....they will never know the pain we
went through. I'm working so hard at
staying positive, its tough, but I'm
staying focused. (minor blip yesterday).
Rent the documentry "The Secret". It's the
only thing so far that has even made a
dent in my blues. I'm going to put
together a "vision board" on Thursday with
my friend. If you envision it, it will
come. We'll see!
2007 is our year girls.....next time it
will be US saying....I'm pregnant!!

Great pep talk!
I totally know where you are coming from.
Last month, on the day my temp dropped
below the cover line but before af
started, one of the security guards said
to me, "Doesn't it seem like everyone in
this building is pregnant with twins?" It
was not what I wanted to hear because my
dh really wants twins and I was not
feeling particularly pregnant. I think I
said, "must be in the water," but I really
wanted to say, "not me."
We aren't sharing our ttc with others even
though we know others are also trying.
Deep down I hope I get pregnant before
them, but I'd be happiest if everyone got
pregnant at the same time.
