Let's try this for a chart! Fertility Friend seems to think I ovulated on day 14 (what endo girl has a classic day 14 ovulation, right?!) but it's only a 2/3rds of a cycle so far. The couple of wonky high numbers near cycle days 8 & 9 are due to sleeping issues, I think. Still spotting today... Attachments:

Uh, yeah, that looks like you ovulated on CD 14! The rule of thumb is once your temps have been elevated for 3+ days, it can be considered ovulation. Can't explain the spotting, but I'm curious to see if your temps drop or if they keep rising this month!

I would like to state proudly that after 3.5 months of acupuncture, I ovulated on CD 14!!!

Semicolon - I'm confused about your chart. You got a positive pregnancy test before you ovulated?
Go Rustmyrtle!! That's awesome!
I usually ovulate around day 14 (give or take a day) but my luteal phase was always 11 days long. This cycle, though, I grew a 14 (!) day luteal phase somehow. It was a bit of a pregnancy scare for a while. lol. Forgot how bad those were.

Congrats, RM! it's a 14 day o kind of month!
Jaye- that was a positive OPK, ovulation predictor kit. That would have been a false positive on the pregnancy test if ever I saw one!!

Been tempting with a basal thermometer. Temps was around 96-97 range preovulation. Seems my cycle is now 33 days after getting off Lupron. Got a positive lh surge on the 20th this month. Got intimate on the 18th through the 23rd. Only day we skipped was the 19th. Today I had some light brown spotting and some light red spotting. Very light. Only a tad bit on tissue both times. My temp is now staying elevated at 98.62. And husband kept saying I felt warm last night. Have a wellness apt tomorrow at the gyno. I know it will still be too early to test for pregnancy. Period is due jan 2nd if my cycle is still 33 days. Just hope it was implantation bleeding and not my upcoming period again. Please pray for baby dust.

Good luck tigergirl!! I hoping for the best for you!
Well, after 11 or 12 days of spotting I got my period (with the temp drop to prove it) but I'm happy to say my temps seem to follow a pattern and it would appear I ovulate! I did have a blood test on day 21 so I'm wondering about my progesterone levels. My heavy bleeding seems to be the new normal, but at least it follows a pattern of really uncomfortable crampy day, heavy flow the next day for several hours without cramps. I've got a load of info to chat with the new obgyn about- its nice to have a chart to tote along!

Woooo hoooo! Ovulating is a good sign!! Amazing what a chart will reveal, isn't it? Let us know how the progesterone levels come out, wonder if that's tied to your spotting (not fun).

took my basal temp again this morning and it dropped to 97. there was some very very light pink spotting after sex last night. yesterday I had a burning sensation in my stomach,felt extremly bloated and gassy. didn't feel like period cramps at all. I am having no nausea and no sore boobs. spotted a tad bit light pink again this morning but it stopped. last ever injection of Lupron was July 23rd. period didn't arrive til Oct 28th. lasted 6 days. next period started on November 30th. and lasted 7 days. was a pain because I was on it for wedding night and most of the honeymoon. moderate flow til the very end. started the ovulation kit a few days after my period. didn't get a positive lh surge til Dec 20th. doesn't make much sense. we got intimate from the 18th til the 23rd. except for the 19th. first I got excited thinking I may be having implantation spotting. and hubby said I felt warm the night before. now my temp is around the high end 96-97 range. so because of the basal temp, I am thinking I am not. and the spotting may just be my period fixing to start again and not implantation bleeding.

What day did you actually ovulate? How long is your luteal phase? Have you had your progesterone levels checked? You may be frustrated that you may be getting your period, but you'll at least be able to get some really useful info from your charts to help pinpoint what's going on with your cycles.

according to the ovulation kit I got a positive on December 20th. I estimated that I ovulated on December 21st. I calculated that I have a 33 day cycle and a 12 day luteal phase. I had twinges of brown discharge and light pink yesterday when I wiped. and some very light pink spotting last night after sex and this morning after I went to bathroom. now nothing. actually going to the gyno in 20 min for my wellness yearly exam.

The body is a very clever machine, tiger, and yours has been through a huge trauma this past 18 months. It may be that there is still healing going on inside, your body is still getting back to normal. Please don't be too despondant if it doesn't happen immediately. A lot of women don't get pregnant straight away, even without what you've been through

went to my gyno. everything was great. he did check my ovary out with his hand. he said no cysts, and now signs of endometrosis at all. I have zero pain with the 2 periods I had off lupron. he went back on his report from March and there was zero endo. I was clean as a whistle well before finishing lupron in July. and my ovary and tube were completly normal. only thing he said that I shouldn't of ovulated so late in my cycle. didn't get a postitive lh surge til the 20th. other than that he said everything looks great, and I should be pregnant in 4-6 months.
