This is my data from the last year plus of trying. Just for kicks…just in case some random fertility specialist happens to find this and can pinpoint exactly what’s wrong based on this. Just kidding. Mostly.
July 17th, 2017; start of period. First BD’ing, wedding night August 7th.
- August 28th: First positive pregnancy test. Repeated positive at the MD’s office, repeat home tests positive on the 30th and September 1st.
- September 3rd: Heavy bleeding/cramps, most likely miscarriage. Confirmed September 5th when ultrasound showed no evidence of pregnancy.
September 3rd-October 12th: “cycle.” Likely not ovulatory due to recent miscarriage, no tracking
October 13th-November 12th: 31 day cycle. Still not tracking, assumed we would be able to conceive again fairly quickly
November 13th-December 22nd:
- 40 day cycle.
- Likely ovulation on CD 27, confirmed by BBT shift.
- 13 day LP
December 23rd-January 24th: purchased AVA watch at start of cycle, began wearing it around the end of period.
- 33 day cycle.
- Likely ovulation CD 21 based on a positive OPK this day and a temp shift CD 22.
- 12 day LP
- AVA thinks ovulation occurred CD 20
January 25th-February 28th
- 35 day cycle
- Ovulation CD 20 or CD 25: OPKs positive CD 20 and 21, no temp shift until CD 26
- LP 14 days or 10 days depending on ovulation
- AVA confirms ovulation CD 20 per ‘biphasic shift.’
March 1st-March 30th
- 30 day cycle
- Ovulation CD 20 based on very dark OPK on CD 19 and temp shift CD 21, also AVA’s prediction
- LP 10 days
- AVA thinks ovulation occurred CD 18
March 31st-May 4th
- 35 day cycle
- Unclear ovulation: positive OPKs CD 20 and 21, watery mucus CD 21, no temp shift until CD 25 but AVA indicated that ovulation occurred CD 21 (with biphasic shift confirmation).
- 14 day LP, negative HPT May 3rd (assumed I was late due to recent shorter LP’s
May 5th-June 19th
- 46 day cycle
- Ovulation per temp shift CD 32
- 14 day LP, negative HPT June 19th AM.
- AVA found biphasic shift/put ovulation on CD 21 (making LP 25 days….)
June 20th-August 2nd
- 44 day cycle
- First temp shift CD22, likely ovulation per second temp shift CD 33, but first positive OPK CD 29, 4-5 days of positive OPKs this cycle
- 11 day LP; though unsure because ovulation unclear
- AVA thinks ovulation was CD 31 (making LP 13 days)
August 3rd-September 1st
- 30 day cycle
- Ovulation likely CD 19, positive OPKS CD 17 and 18.
- 13 day LP
- AVA confirms ovulation at CD 21 (making LP only 11 days)
September 2nd-October 2nd: took a break from tracking everything, 31 day cycle
October 3rd-present: started fertil-aid mid cycle.
- currently on CD 31, positive OPK CD 23 so likely ovulation CD 23 or 24; 9-10 DPO.
So basically nothing is regular. Cycle length, luteal length, ovulation day.
I can’t depend on AVA, I can get up to 5 days of clearly positive OPKs when you’re supposed to get maybe two, and I have never had any fertile mucus other than a gush of watery somewhere in my fertile window.
Good luck to us.
