O fairy on vacation

By Bill Freeman

Well, I don’t know what to think this month, and evidently neither does Fertility Friend.

I really thought I ovluated on the 20th (day 11) my CM and CP certainly indicated that I had – but not my temps, or my normal hormone-induced migraine. We BD and thought our timing was great and felt fortunate that Michael was actually in town at the right time.

my  July  BBT  chartWell, I don’t know what to think this month, and evidently neither does Fertility Friend.

I really thought I ovluated on the 20th (day 11) my CM and CP certainly indicated that I had – but not my temps, or my normal hormone-induced migraine. We BD and thought our timing was great and felt fortunate that Michael was actually in town at the right time.

Then on the 24th (day 15) I had a huge temp drop. Since I frequently get temp drops the day before ovulation, I wondered if I was ovulating then – and my CM and CP also seemed to indicate as much. Unfortunately, Michael wasn’t in town, so we couldn’t BD at the right time. I could hope that BD four days earlier would help – but that’s pushing it.

Since my temps didn’t immediately shoot up after ovulation (like I usually do) and ovulation timing was so weird, I’m not very hopeful about this month. Another month and no hope of two lines – it’s getting harder every month.

This is one of those charts that makes me wonder if I ovulate more than once.

My mother has me reading this book about Progesterone hormone replacement therapy – and the signs of Estrogen dominance (monthly migraines, weight gain, tender/cystic breasts, hypercoagulability, fertility issues and gallbladder issues). I have almost every sign of Estrogen dominance. So, I’m phoning my doctor today to discuss natural Progesterone supplements, because it sure looks like my body is crying out for help.
