Stalk away JM- I don't mind at all. I will take the clomid and next cycle I'm keeping up the temping and hoping to have more ewcm! As I've currently had none for this cycle and a little bit for the last.
And Ngala- thanks honey. You always know what to say to make me smile. Lol legs wide open. Haha. I don't know about temping vaginally. How far do you need to stick it in??? (sorry if I'm asking an ewww question.
Dh rang me today and said he forgot to tell me that when I temped this morning my thermometer was sticking out the side of my arm with the metal point just outside my armpit. D'oh! I wondered why it beeped quickly this morning.
Vaginally may be the way. Any hints ngala? Or is it possible to just change to orally. What if you move around too much before getting the thermometer and moving undies inside and inserting it? Wouldn't that make your temps more unstable? And ewww? What about temp during af?
Curious now...

Doh for the point sticking out from under your arm!!
I am not sure how for I normally stick it in cause I was always half asleep but I think about an inch in would be ok?? Probably the same amount would go in if you were doing it in your mouth. Moving around a bit before putting the thermometer in should matter too much, I normally wiggled a bit before taking my temp. And you only need to slide your undies across a lil bit to put the thermometer in.
I normally sleep on my left side so when my alarm went off I would grab the thermometer that was on my bedside table, move my top leg up a bit and then pop it in. I sleep in boxers so I had no prob with moving my undies but I don't think that would be too difficult.
And you dont need to temp during AF. I normally missed my 2nd/3rd day of AF and then started up when it was a lot lighter plus I rarely bled during the night so it wasnt messy at all.
If you are still unsure about vaginally then go orally but if you tend to sleep with your mouth open, then you wont get accurate temps. I am sure after a few vaginally done temps you will feel a lot more comfortable doing it. I'm not sure if DH will be home IF you start your new cycle but if he is not, then atleast you could get a few in before he is home in bed and wondering where you are sticking the thermometer!!
I wouldn't feel guilty about taking the clomid. Your GP obviously sees that the clomid would be beneficial for you to help you ovulate. You know that you do ovulate, just not all the time, so this will help keep it regular for you. I think you should go with what your GP has suggested and give it a few goes. You may only need to use the clomid once!! And as I see it, you will still be achieving conception naturally, you just need a little help to get an egg out!!
