Hmmm - I don't know if the clear blue easy fertility monitor missed it or if I did not ovulate this month. I am Day 15 and typically I ovulate early. My cervix feels hard and there is no CM today. The nurse still wants me to have my progesterone levels checked next Friday. If I didn't ovulate this will most likely push my calendar back. Oh well. May have to spend $300 on changing flights.
This is not a big deal in the scheme of things, but I am getting bored of my life right now. I live in a small town where there is not that much to do. When I moved here 3 years ago, I would never have thought we would still be trying to have children. I need a new focus! I am tired of thinking and worrying about getting pregnant - can I please just get to the next phase of my life? Part of my funk may be related to limiting my exercise. I wish I could start training for a marathon (a new focus), but I read studies about IVF not working as well for women who exercise too hard. I needs some new inspiration!
Anyhoo - I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Don't worry, you'll get there! Soon you'll be focusing on your FET and then hopefully a happy, healthy nine month pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it was user error and you missed the surge and everything can just stay right on track!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya -- I feel like since I can't work out (which was one of my fav activities to feel like I was doing something to take care of my body) or cook (bc my relationship with food is complicated now with nausea) all I think about it the baby and what could be going wrong! Writing this out and admitting it though it making me think I need to find some new hobbies!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you need to ovulate before you can get started prepping for your transfer. I didn't. I just had to get AF. We must be on different protocols. I wonder if you can do one like mine if you didn't ovulate this month? Or if they need you to be on a different protocol for some reason?
I'm hoping that the monitor missed the surge and you don't have to change your plans.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the exercise thing. I limited my workouts too as I got closer to my FET. I continued to run and do weights but nothing like I had done before. I also started to get some serious cramping while running when I started the estrogen patches, so that didn't help.
I know it's hard, but hang in there!!
Oh man...I hope it was an error as well and things don't have to change!!
ReplyDeleteThanks y'all!
ReplyDeleteManni - I think that I will have needed to ovulate in order to start taking lupron on day 21 of this cycle. I don't really know why though. Homones are so mysterious to me.
I had a CBE fertility monitor too and, even though my cycles were like clockwork, the day I had my LH serge could vary quite a bit. Not sure if you stopped testing already (or if it makes sense to continue), but your post doesn't surprise me.
ReplyDeleteWaiting always sucks but it will happen soon. I love working out and run 5 x's a week it is definitely my cheap version of therapy. It will all be worth if for you!
