[FAM] Chart Cycle Day 22

The anticipation is starting to get to me.

Is this finally the day I'll ovulate? Have I ovulated, will I?

Usually prior to ovulation, there's a dip in temperature before it skyrockets up. It's the rise in temperature that indicates you have finally ovulated, but looking at my chart, it's hard to interpret what happened.

I feel a little antsy because I haven't seen consistent fertile fluids in the last few days. Extremely fertile conditions is when you see cervical fluid that look and feel similiar to eggwhites.



Everyday I've been taking my BBT and charting online (FertilityFriend.com), but it's becoming a little frustrating trying to read my chart. Maybe I'm just impatient. I mean, I think I really believed I would get pregnant at the first try.

Day 3 FSH Level
Before this last cycle I had in January, my last period date was November 4th. About three days into my cycle, I went to the lab to get my hormones tested and my FSH result was 8.

Interpretation for DPC Immulite assay - 2007:
Less than 10 - Reassuring level. Expect a good response to ovarian stimulation.

10 - 12 - Fair. Response is between completely normal and somewhat reduced (response varies widely). Overall, a somewhat reduced live birth rate.

12- 15 - Reduced ovarian reserve. Usually show a reduced response to stimulation and some reduction in egg and embryo quality with IVF. Reduced live birth rates on the average.
