so, it's cd 13, and i'm still getting a "low" reading on my cbefm... this is weird. the last 3 times i used this little contraption, i've had a high reading by cd 11. what could this mean? i'm temping as well, so i guess i'll have a back-up if it's the cbefm on the fritz... but that obviously doesn't help me predict my ovulation. i'm not gonna worry yet. maybe i'm just having a wonky cycle.
i have another question for the group. this is one of those questions that reminds me why i haven't invited my irl friends/family to read this blog, and if you're not comfortable with bodily fluid talk, you may want to stop here. anyway, to get to the point, i have had pretty much constant, mild yeast infections/bv since i had to take multiple antibiotics years ago for recurrent tonsillitis. i was just reading that bv can lead to pid (which i don't think i have but will ask my doctor about on my next visit) which can cause serious i.f. problems, but has anyone else had/heard of i.f. issues stemming from one or the other of these infections? just curious... i asked my ob-gyn if she thought this might cause fertility problems when i saw her last year, but she shrugged her shoulders and said, "shouldn't be a problem." (this is why i'm looking for a new ob-gyn... grr.)

Hey Moosk ... to me, IF is such an inexact science. Why else would approximately 10% on IF cases be defined as "unexplained?" Even going through any ART, there are so many different variables that can play in to an individual's success rate.
Anyway, to get to my point ... as your ob-gyn has seemed to have "blown off" your concerns, I would probably be more apt to be looking for a new ob-gyn, or better yet an RE to help you answer these questions. This is all, of course, in my own humble opinion.
Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do! And also, thanks for all your warm thoughts and prayers for my family...
thanks, emily... i think i'm going to look for both!
