Cycle Day 26

Temp is still down, CM and CP are being COMPLETLEY incooperative, the ferning that started is now gone. I'm either heading for a very late ovulation or a completely anovulatory cycle. I'm actually hoping I can convince my doctor to run a progesterone test on Thursday just so I can show her that I really do have late/non existent ovulations, despite what my last doc mentioned about "32 day average".

The plus side is I decided to go ahead and bring Ian to my appointment with me (thanks Nicole!). I'm going to bribe him to be willing to hold still by getting him a new toy that morning. Some sort of coloring set or something...haven't decided yet.

Oh, I was readiing over my records again and came across something interesting. There was a cycle that I had to use Prometrium to get my period to stop (lasted 3 weeks), and about two days into it my temp went up. I didn't know if maybe I had ovulated or if it was the Prometrium that caused it. Since Prometrium is progesterone, it's very possible that it caused the temp rise, but I decided to call and ask my doctor because I was just genuinely curious. Anyway, in my chart, he wrote (I'm paraphrasing) "Temp rise likely not related to ovulation. unlikely that would happen on prometrium, but it could. Mild rise in temp could be related to too much sun, etc." Too much sun? TOO MUCH SUN? Does he know how BBT charting works? First thing in the morning, while I'm still in bed. It's not like I sleep outside in the sunshine. And as for the "mild" remark--it was over half a degree. Not a mild rise at all in BBT charting. Grrr..

  1. Here's what I'd do. Bring him and bring some of his favorite things. Then ONLY when/if he starts getting antsy, give him something new and wrapped (like a present). Bring a few things like that. I'd also bring a snack bag and make sure he's a little hungry. He might sit still long enough to eat his snack--especially if you made it into a fun shape or something. I make Daniel "lunch heads" sometimes--just an english muffin with peanut butter on top then whatever small things I have to make a face: raisins, nuts, marshmallows, cheese bits, fruit pieces. He loves them.

    Good luck!
