Odd

I sent this email to Hope (if you havent caught on, shes my SIL) and she had no idea what could be going on so she suggested I post it here and see if you girls might have an idea. Here goes...

I am on Day 35 or so of my cycle and usually have my period around day 24. I took a pregnancy test and its negative and i have some ovulation type symptoms(almost eggwhite fluid) so i took an ovulation test and it was positive (for about the 3rd time this cycle). What could be going on?

Are you tracking your temps? Did you have a clear temp shift? Is it possible that your body tried to ovulate, but didn't, and now it's trying again?

Yeah, I'd definitely start tracking temps... even starting now wher eyou are in your cycle may clue you in. If you have temps all over the place, or really low, then, my guess is you haven't ovulated and your body is making another attempt. Sometimes the 2nd, 3rd, attempt works... other times your body just gives up and starts annovulatory bleeding. I'm interested in knowing how long this keeps up before your body just restarts itself.

You can get false surges throughout a cycle, kind of like your body gears up to ovulate and then doesn't quite make it. There is really no "true" late period; because the luteal phase is pretty constant...it's the follicular phase before ovulation that can vary. So when people say their period is "late", it probably isn't..they probably just haven't ovulated yet.

Let's hope this is the real ovulation this time!! I agree with the others, definitely start charting!

The Next Step

By Dirk and Trish -
After my laparoscopy in June for endo, the dr. gave us 3 months to get pregnant. Well, 3 months is up, so today we met with the specialist to decide what to do next. We were given three choices (I know many of you have been there, just wanted to give some info for newbies). Option 1 is clomid and IUI (~$650/cycle), Option 2 gonadotropins (I think it was $3000-5000/cycle), Option 3 IVF (~$14,000/cycle). The dr. recommended, and we had previously discussed, option 1. The prices are just what I was told, so they probably are not standard. I just find it helpful to have some idea what I'm up against, so thought I'd include it in case it gives someone else a baseline to work from.We missed out on timing for this cycle, so we actually have 1 more try at the old fashioned method, then we start clomid next month. Apparently the chances of a procedure working are best in the first 3 months, so we're really hoping this next step is it.

My next approach

I thought I'd share a couple of things I'm going to try next. I wish I was posting this because I had been successful with one of them, but some of them state they take up to 3 mos. so I don't want to wait until then to tell you about it, in case one of you wants to try one of these things sooner, with me! These are some things I've been researching, and gathering info about, because they are less drastic than some of the medical approaches. Other things I like about them is that they are geared towards becoming healthier-so even if you don't get pregnant, you're not out anything, and you may have gained some other benefit, like eating better. Last but not least, though there is some expense involved, I think it will still be cheaper than some of the diagnostic testing and procedures. Here are some of the things I am thinking about trying... A fertility diet: I learned about this from a co-worker. She used fertility for her first child, and it didn't work th...
