Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Cycle Day 20. Absolutely NO SIGN of an impending ovulation. Crummy CM, crummy CP, no ferning...na-da. I'm disappointed about this, obviously. It really stinks to be irregular and have no idea when/if you're going to ovulate. BUT I have found a plus side (there is always a plus side!):

I have a doctor's appointment in eight days with a doctor I have never seen before. I am seeing her on day 28, the day that is a "normal" cycle length according to a lot of doctors (silly, silly doctors...I would like to know if every female doctor seriously has a 28 day cycle?). I will, at most be 4 days past ovulation based on where I am now (nowhere). It will make a very good argument for me to push for testing, since I'd like all the typical bloodwork to be done and for Clomid or Femara or SOMETHING to help me ovulate a decent egg at a decent time.

I got my medical records from my past doctor. And I really like him, but one thing that annoyed me is that, based on me telling him my cycles ranged from 27-37 days in the year leading up to me originally seeing him, he deduced that I have a cycle that averages 32 days, and it's in my charts. That is not an average...I think that's a mean, if I'm remembering my algebra correctly? My average would be closer to the 37 day point when the number of 27, 28, 29 day cycles are added to the number of 35, 36, 37 day cycles...you know, when a REAL average is found. So I hate that "average of 32 days" is in my records when 32 is a perfectly acceptable cycle length (I would love that!). His nurse also put that we had tried for 18 months for Ian...we tried for 28. Oh well. I guess I'll just try and spit all this out in the 3 minutes I'll be allowed to talk with my new doctor.
