🤡

First off thank you for whoever is reading this. I am writing this out of pure emotion. I have been trying to conceive for three years. My journey has included two different REI’s. I thought I would reach out to a naturopath — see if she could see anything that nobody else has been able to tell me. I know many people are quick to say they are quacks — My idea was just to get my supplement game strong and again just see if there was “something else” I am missing.

My cycles are 31/32 days typically — with ovulation occurring maybe cycle day 17 - 19… she said my cycle should be 28 days with a ovulation of cycle day 14

I had some pushback when she wanted me to take progesterone cream cycle day 14 - 28 morning and night. Because I always heard or read that you’re supposed to take progesterone after you ovulate. But she was saying she she’s basically trying to manipulate my cycle. And see where we are in six months.

Here we are six months later… and this is my chart….

I haven’t temped because I was trying to “let go” and be “carefree.” And this month I decide to and now I’m absolutely livid.

Can this progesterone cream be messing with my ovulation? And causing annovulation cycles????

It’s a far shot for me to conceive naturally, but now with my ovulation not even happening there’s definitely not a shot and it’s pissing me off. I don’t know what to do???

I’m planning on making an appointment with her ASAP and saying basically wtf???

I am so emotionally drained from all this as is and I know people think I’m being a little crazy but time is just going by and it seems like everything I do doesn’t help 💔💔💔
I’m freaking heartbroken.

The first chart is this month — which how it looks as a huge concern to me.

The other two examples are the last times I had a full chart prior to “letting go “ and trying to trust this naturopath and believing it would happen (wanted to show yall for reference)

I’m apparently 17DPO according to my chart but I normally have a 12 day luteal phase. This is my first time tracking bbt so I don’t exactly know what’s normal for me but this doesn’t seem right. I have been testing every day and I think they’re all negative, I see something but pretty positive it’s an indent. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Thought sept 25th was ovulation but probably not. I’m sick of wasting money on ovulation tests. 😭❤️‍🩹

It could be that my body is just trolling me because i was feeling exhausted, nauseous, sore breasts, vivid dreams, lots of discharge but test was negative this morning (CD 27, 13DPO). I’m not sure if FF correctly predicted my ovulation, because my temps remained high, but I woke up to what usually feels like ovulation pain on Tuesday morning (CD 23, which i forgot to note). Usually ovulation is a sudden and intense cramp that lasts a few minutes and then goes away and wakes me up in the middle of the night. I’m pretty sure I’m out this cycle but I’m curious if anyone had a similar experience and was positive days later?

I was so convinced I ovulated on CD15 based on LH test, CM…and my temps are saying otherwise. I am feeling so discouraged and am just looking for a little support that 1) it is still possible I ovulated CD15 or 2) if not, it’s still possible to conceive this month based on BD timing. My husband and I were so exhausted this weekend that it just didn’t happen on Saturday/Sunday. I welcome any previous success stories or experiences based on any of this information.

Some other random facts that could play into temps this month:
- been fighting a cold for the past week and a half
- night before the low temp on the 27th we had the windows open (noooo idea if that would’ve changed my body temp or the ambient temp of the bbt thermometer)

Feeling so frustrated today. I’ve been on Clomid for 3 months and like clockwork I get my period on what would be 14DPO and my temp drops by 11 or 12 DPO (previous months I had even sooner temp drops). Today is now 12 DPO, no significant temp drop in sight; however, BFN on FRER.

I started taking levothyroxine about 2-3ish weeks ago. I’m not truly hypothyroid but my RE offered it as my levels were borderline high so not sure if I was potentially in the subclinical area. Not sure if this could have impacted my temps this month? This is the most stable my post-ovulation temps have ever been! (13 cycles TTC, unexplained IF, temping for maybe 7ish cycles)

Edit/Update: BBT barely dropped 2 days later but period arrived. Not sure why my temps were weird this month. Not tracking any further now that I am doing IUI with progesterone support

Any words of encouragement or hope? For info, I am using the Oura ring and I have a lot of wake-up’s every night.

I have ordered pdg tests cause obviously temping isn’t going to get me anywhere🫩

Cue me looking through every chart on FF with a negative at 12DPO followed by a positive at 13DPO

Its saying my LH surge happened too late (CD18 out of a 32 day cycle). I dont feel like thats too late at all, and its also saying my BBT didnt rise enough after ovulation, but my chart LITERALLY shows a clear BBT increase? Another thing, its completely normal to have low LH levels before your spike, and its normal for it to stay high the day after ovulation.

I feel like its pretty gross for Premom to gaslight me like this

Feeling very confused. Been testing daily with the easy@home strips and getting stark negatives. I don’t like to symptom spot but I have felt off the past few days and then randomly vomited this evening for no apparent reason after sipping some water. The only time this has happened before is when I have been pregnant or drinking alcohol (and I am not drinking at the moment). It has stopped now

Surely if I were pregnant it would be showing up on a test by now? Could just be a classic case of my body trolling me

Any views or similar experiences welcome!

I have a 10-11 day lp. My temps start declining from 7-8dpo. Adding my last 3 charts and this cycles for reference.

Trying to get a healthcare provider in the uk to take my concerns of possible low progesterone/luteal phase defect is like talking to a wall.

Hello, I just want to rant. I got bfn this mornig with chart like this. So sad.

This is cycle 4 following surgery for a missed miscarriage in June which was only 2 months after a natural miscarriage in April (it’s been a stressful year!). Felt really optimistic this month with rising temps higher than normal but still negative 😞 due to get period today as cycles have been 29 days like clockwork since the surgery and temp dropped yesterday so thought great onto next month but temps jumped back up again today 😤 I’m so frustrated, we started trying in January and fell pregnant cycle number 2 then fell pregnant again immediately after the first miscarriage and now nothing for what feels like forever 😩 it’s so disheartening tracking everything and timing things perfectly to no avail

CD29, 11DPO, Big FAT Negative. Now I feel like my BBT is Slipping. So I anticipate a big drop tomorrow and Aunt Flo showing up with her luggage. I’m annoyed.

I’ve been taking my BBT for the past 7 months, and this is the first time my chart has ever climbed like this and looked this promising 😭
If this pregnancy test really ends up being negative, I swear I’m quitting BBT because I cannot put myself through this every month 😂😭

Was feeling hopeful this morning after temps started rising again, but FRER and ClearBlue red dye are both negative again. Not feeling as crampy as normal for a day out from my period and I’ve been abnormally tired all week. Just ready for my period to come so I can move on with my life lol

I know it’s early. Been trying for a few months but first month temping because I wanted to know if I’m actually ovulating. Have been having irregular cycles and a couple cycles of fertile symptoms twice in one cycle. I’m still breastfeeding our second at night so wasn’t sure. It looks like I ovulated so I guess that’s a win at least. Fingers crossed 😞

Even though I know Triphasic charts can happen in pregnant and not pregnant cycles, this is the first time it’s happened to me (usually my temps aren’t so high) so I was more excited than usual to test today, and of course it’s a BFN 😢 I know there’s still a couple more days before a reliable result but it’s dashed my hopes and I wish I’d waited longer to test.

(I have been taking my temps at the same time every day, I just put them into the app at different times)

Managed to hit either
-5, -4 and -1
Or
-6 -5 -2 and ovulation

I don’t feel confident I’m such a perfectionist I wish we got cycle day 19 and 21

I found a study where about 70% of women ovulated within 24 hours of a positive urine LH test, which is why I’m confused by my chart.
My LH went from 0.03 → 1.15 peak, stayed high the next day, then dropped to 0.48 → 0.42 → 0.23. So the surge is clearly over.
But my BBT/Oura temp has not risen at all and today I’m actually -0.5°F below baseline.
I also had fertile CM around the surge and then it changed afterward.
Has anyone had a clear LH surge, LH return to baseline, but BBT not rise until 2–3 days later? Or would this make you think the surge failed and ovulation didn’t happen?
Attaching my LH tests + FF/Oura charts.

Not sure if to try a more sensitive test as temps are still high. My Leutal phase is usually 12 days

Nothing to share other than just being sad. I’ve never seen my temp drop this much it usually stays higher even on day 1 of my period. I guess at least it’s not trolling me this month. 11DPO and my luteal has been longer like 14-16 days! Negative FRER this morning so I’m feeling pretty bummed. I stopped tracking as much just did opk’s and bbt since I wear an Oura. I didn’t even tell my husband who gets stressed when it’s ovulation time to perform…he just spur of the moment said let’s go, on my peak Opk day, random and I thought wow look at this fantastic timing! Alas, no luck again this month.
