Hello,

This week is really strange for me. I'm in the beginning of my 2ww and struggling a bit. I guess what I'm struggling with most is that I can't rely on temps this week to give me any heads up if AF is coming or not. I had to switch to working nights this week only so I can't use my temps since I'm waking up at 4:00pm instead of 5:30am! I just have to wait until next Tuesday for AF to arrive. AARRGGHH! I rely so much on my temps since the day it drops AF shows up. Oh well, I guess this will really be a test for me!

I also am dealing with normally having a short luteal phase so if I can make it 12 days DPO, it's a HUGE accomplishment. I usually only have a 9 day LP, I've been told that clomid helps extend the LP. Has anyone noticed an increase in LP on clomid?

My re and I do not track my L-phase because I chose not to go into that much detail with ttc. I did in the past on clomid and it drove me crazy.

Good luck. Keep you head high. You are in my prayers.

Love,

Amy

I have noticed an extended LP on Clomid. It sort of tricked me at first because I have always had a normal cycle.

How are you doing now? I am wondering if you could still temp even though you are not taking it in the morning. I would ask your Dr. if it would be accurate if you did it when you woke up regardless what time that was.

How often do you shift shifts? That would be tough. I would be more than just a little cranky.

Talk to you later.
Love,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda,

I was only working nights for a few nights last week. I was in the middle of some testing that needed to go around the clock for a few days so one of the other engineers and I split the work. Thank God that's over!

I started temping again and my temps are still up! AF should have arrived yesterday but my temps are still up so we'll see if she shows or not. I'm wondering how soon I sould take a PG test. I don't think I could handle a negative result but I'm so incredibly anxious to find out. I'm 9 or 10 DPO (depends on when I actually O'd) and I thought it took at least 10 days for implantation to occur. I also had and hcg shot over 10 days ago so I'm not sure if that would skew the results either.

I've had some cramping so I thought AF would be here but nothing yet and I don't have any other symptoms for anything! My breasts aren't sore, I don't feel bloated. However, I'm fighting a terrible cold and I'm affraid to take anything for it in case I am PG. Wow! I guess I'm dealing with a lot more stress than I've acknowledged.

Ugh, this is so frustrating!

Thanks for letting me vent. I'll keep you posted on any changes.

Kristin
