11 dpo - BFN

Another day, another BFN. I know its still early, but I'm starting to get nervous. My temps still look good though and I'm trying to stay positive. Gah.

10 dpo - BFN

Another BFN this morning and a .1 degree temp drop. But its obviously still super early so I'm trying not to worry yet.

And we're back

Back up with the temps, that is...  98.2 this morning, to be exact.

Also, I totally caved and tested this morning.  BFN.  Big Freakin' Surprise.

Well that's interesting...

8 dpo and a gigantic temp dip (for me).  Its too soon for AF... Implantation maybe?  I had a .2 degree implantation dip the last time I was pregnant, but I've never seen a dip like this past O.  Hmmmmm.....

Test results -- round 2

Yesterday was my follow-up RE appointment to go over my test results.

Drum roll please?

They found... nothing! Every single test they ran, my hormone levels came back exactly smack in the middle of the normal range.  Which is of course great news that I am healthy, but it definitely doesn't make me any less frustrated.  Actually, I think it is more frustrating, because at least if something was wrong we could actively work on fixing it.  My RE did suggest I start Clomid next cycle, but I don't think I'm comfortable taking that step yet (and I know DH isn't). 

While I was at my appointment, I also asked my RE about what the tech said about my ovaries being really far apart.  He said this was not a problem, and that he has never had a patient where that was what was keeping her from getting pregnant.  I asked if he thought a super-long journey through my tubes might be causing decreased egg quality, and if it might have contributed to our loss.  He assured me that he did not believe this was an issue.  He also said he didn't see any cysts or anything on my ovaries from the ultrasound, which is of course also great news.

So, the official diagnosis?  Unexplained anovulation.  It is frustrating, but I just keep telling myself that at least I am healthy and that we are doing everything we can do to have another baby.  I think we're going to just keep trying and praying for a few more cycles, and then maybe re-evaluate the Clomid option.  I really hope we get a BFP soon so we don't even have to consider it.

Yay for ovulation!

Wow, sorry I have majorly been neglecting my blog this week! I have been so busy and so exhausted by the time I get home that I just haven't been able to update.

But yes, I did actually ovulate on CD20! Which puts me at 5 dpo today. I'm going to try to hold out at least 5 more days before testing, but we will see if that actually happens. lol

Holy crap

I think I ovulated yesterday. On CD20. That would be the earliest I have EVER ovulated and would give me the shortest cycle I've ever had in my life!

It would figure this would happen this month, since I've been undergoing the battery of tests to find out why I wasn't ovulating regularly. lol

I had a +OPK on CD18 and CD19, tons of EWCM these past few days, and a temp spike this morning. *Fingers crossed* I actually did ovulate!!!

On an unrelated note, I had a dream last night that I gave birth to a daughter. In my dream we named her our girl's first name (we don't have a middle name yet in real life), and then gave her my mother's middle name as her middle name. The combination of names actually sounds really pretty together, and DH and I had never even considered the possibility of this name before. I told DH about my dream and what we named our "dream baby", and he actually liked the names together too. So now, thanks to my dream, I think we have finally come up with a complete name for our future theoretical baby girl!
