Ovulation Woes

[judecorp]

So I've been doing my temps every morning, which is still pretty ridiculous because, as usual, they look like the rocky mountains. It doesn't help that I haven't gotten consistently good sleep and have had random wakings, but still - it looks like every other time I've tried to chart.

But now, because I had that possibly-EWCM for a couple of days (I couldn't decide if it was more that "rubber cement" looking stuff that you're supposed to call 'sticky' or if it was more streaky EWCM), Fertility Friend has decided that I had a thermal shift, even though there isn't much... shift... involved. But that's not the frustrating part, really. Heck, this cycle I don't even care if I ovulate or not - I just wanted to kind of see if I would. And if I did, cool!

But if I really did ovulate when I had that questionable EWCM, I'm now somewhere between 5 and 6 DPO. Which would mean that I would get my period sometime next week, assuming a normal-length luteal phase.

Which means I would start Clomid sometime around next weekend.

Which means I could potentially ovulate in New Orleans.

It's not totally likely, and this is all speculation, but still. Dear God, please don't screw with me, okay? I don't need to get pregnant in April or anything (but don't get me wrong, that would be nice), but I would like to at least have the CHANCE without having to go hump some Cajun dude.

My temps are the same - especially lately I've been sick they are really crazy. I wake up randomly too.

Even if you get your period on your own couldn't your doc give you some provera after you get back from your trip & then start you on the clomid?

I guess I /could/ have another period like that... but it feels so manipulative to my body. I would probably just let it go and wait for the next cycle if it came to that. But I will definitely chat with my doctor if I /do/ get my period.

So complicated.

I know - I've done that a few times. I don't like doing it either.

I just want to manipulate things as little as possible. I know that may not be an option, but I can still have hope, right? :) I'm okay if it's "not meant to be" or whatever, really.

Well, humping some random Cajun would certainly solve the fertility treatment issue, mais non?

*kidding! kidding!*

It sure would be cheaper! :) (But Jen would kill me.)

could you hump one together? (just make sure all spermies are directed YOUR way)

Jen's never even KISSED a boy! She's been gay since she was like 1 year old!

Good thing she theoretically doesn't have fertility problems then, she can't point to having had access to sperm. :-)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

She doesn't SEEM to have any fertility problems - she's like total clockwork!

Reading your posts makes me want to start charting again. I used to have these perfect bell curves. But I don't think I will be able to do it as well until I get some better sleep at night.

I wish I had your biology! It would be SO much easier!

And yeah, I've been getting crap sleep, which makes me think a good chunk of my chart is invalid, but oh well, whatever. :)

Hey about that cajun.... Jen does love Heart!

It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will you want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can


All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too

All night long ...
