Hi all...it's been about a week or two since I have been on...nice to get caught up! I'm really glad that I joined this forum...it's nice to hear other stories and feel the support from all of you!
Bec - That's exciting that AF arrived for you, and you can begin your cycle! I never had a problem with my provera inducing AF, but I know I was really anxious this past time for it to start and get started on the clomid...all this waiting is agonizing sometimes, but AF arriving makes you just another step closer!!
Nicole - I'm sorry that you didn't "o" but I applaud your great attitude...you seem to be staying positive, and even though I'm still at the near beginning of this process I think that is the most important thing!!
Bee - I'm really anxious to hear how your testing goes...it all sounds very good!! Be sure to let us know. Also, I have never heard of this "maybe baby". That sounds really interesting. I think for the moment I'm not far along in the process to do something like that, but I could see how eventually that would help!!
As for me, here is my update:
As I posted before I went to my doctor for an U/S and she found one follicle at 17mm. She told me that she thought I would ovulate within the next few days. According to FF I ovulated about 4 days later, and am now 4 dpo. (My husband and I have been doing a lot of trying during this time!!!)This time I really think I ovulated as I know there was a follie, and my temperatures have changed dramatically.
In my previous charts I was usually around 97.5-97.9, and even after a temperature dip I would only shoot back up to about the same place. My temps were right around there after my appointment, but on Sunday it dipped to 97.2...then it increased on Monday to 97.9...now it's wayyyyy up, higher then its ever been, and so far its stayed there:
Sunday: 97.2
Monday: 97.7
Tuesday: 97.9
Wednesday: 98.6
Thursday: 98.1
Friday (today 4dpo): 98.5
According to FF I ovulated on Monday, and so far all my temps since have stayed above the coverline. I am thinking that I really did "o" this time because my temps not only rose, but rose much higher then they have ever been in any previous cycles...I guess I'll have to see. I am on CD 21, and my dr said to wait until CD 32 and test if AF hasn't arrived....
A last side note. I was changing last night to get into my pjs, and when I took my bra off, without thinking I said to my husband that my breasts were really sore. After I said it I looked at him and we were both like....oh my!! Then he said that he noticed that they seemed bigger, and I have actually noticed that too. I do have to take into account that I am an avid runner and I work out just about everyday, but I have been lagging a bit, so maybe I have just gained a little weight...
I was thinking that 4dpo would be too early to notice changes, but I actually never really have sore breasts, even around my period, and they do seem a little bigger....it might just be my mind playing tricks on me, but they are still sore today, and my nipples are ultra-sensitive, even painful (TMI)....I guess it's a waiting game for me!!!
That is a huge jump in temp & id say you have pretty much definately "O" if it's jumped that high after a dip, especially if it's not usually in that vicinity. My temp had a significant increase after a dip but no where near that big & I was pregnant so the same could happen for you, now you just need to be on the look out for your temp not dropping at all & not getting your period or even a third rise as that's what happened to me! When are you due? Do a test on the first day you are due with the first pee of the morning & it should give you a reliable result then! My boobs were the first thing I noticed too so goodluck & keep us posted? 
So when do you get the results back? I also used a accupuncturist & naturopath as well whilst we were TTC & I agree with you that the results were overwhelming. We tried for 18 months with various medications & then for the month leading up to my last round of clomid & also during I started the accupuncture & naturopathy & I fell pregnant that month, so I also highly recommend it for anyone having fertility issues. Well congrats again & let us know definately when you get your results back?
