If I post my chart . . .

rebeccabaltimore and more · #1 May 27th, 2009, 09:58 AM

If I sit down tonight and put my chart up on FF, could you guys help me make sense of it? I can't even tell if I've ovulated yet! The chart I kept when I got pregnant with Ethan was textbook, but this time it's all weird. I don't know who else to ask - DH is NO help obviously! My chart seems so random, I'm kinda despairing of getting pregnant this month. We're just having sex everyday because I can't predict my fertile days.

I can't help you with charting, but that sounds fun! Good for you!

Here it is: 27e0ba Ovulation Charts

To add to the confusion, I missed 4 (non-consecutive) days of my birth control pill last month, so I had breakthrough bleeding 2 days before I was set to stop taking it. So I think my period started the tenth, but it could have started the eleventh. I took my fertility drugs (Femara) on the eleventh.

When do you normally o? Its super hard to tell. Do you ever have a temp dip before you O? If anything, if your temps go up tomorrow and stay up then I'll say okay you did on CD 16.

Did you have any EWCM? Or O pains?

KDD · #9 May 27th, 2009, 04:55 PM

How long are your cycles normally? Have you noticed any EWCM?

I can't tell the difference between semen and CM. Last time I charted (when I got pregnant) I ovulated on CD 16. My cycle lengths are never very consistent because I have PCOS, but I'd guess they are all in the neighborhood of 30 days. I don't know if I normally have a temp dip - the only other time I charted I got pregnant and when Ethan died I had to put away the chart, it makes me cry.

I'm hoping you're right Sue - I'm impatient!

I agree with Sue... I usually look for at least three to four temps above the cover line before I can confirm an O on my charts (at least by temp... I usually know by other indicators too).. if I were to make an educated guess, it would be that you're right at your coverline right now and if you see a few more high temps over the next few days (above 97.7) then you probably O'd on the day 16.

Keep us updated on your temps!

Good luck!

I agree, you'll have to wait a few more temps to know for sure if there's a distinct thermal shift!

I hope it stays up - I am supposed to start my prometrium 3 days after ovulating.

I really hope I get pregnant this cycle!

tobynscarlett · #14 May 27th, 2009, 08:27 PM

I never charted, so I am no help there. You plan of BDing every day sound pretty good to me!!!

I have to give your DH tons of credit if he is able to keep up!!! My DH 'petered out' after about 4 consecutive days (I know, horrible pun totally intended).

rebeccabaltimore and more · #15 May 28th, 2009, 08:56 AM

Oh yeah, DH is VERY happy this month!

My temperature this morning was no help - I'm house-sitting and the room we slept in had to have been 15 degrees below zero. So my temp plummeted to 96.9. Tonight we are staying in a different, warmer bedroom so hopefully my temp will behave normally.
