Who knows..

I had a M/C back in late June at almost 7 weeks.

Anyway..
I thought I O'd around then 20th of July...
Butttttt here we are with no AF and increasing EPS.
All tests are negative (or weird hints of lines that really aren't lines...)
My question is:
I never have charted in the past.
So trying to take temps now seems stupid, right? I will no way of knowing what's going on until AF shows, right? I was going off of CM, but that, too, has been all over the place...
Any advice would be fabbbbulous.

I just miscarried at the end of July, but have been told that it may take women up to 3 months for their cycle to return...If you are really concerned, then I would check with your dr. Again, I don't know much about it though, because I am new to all of this.

Thanks...
I just wanted to know if charting temps and all that was useless at this point ?

It wouldn't hurt to collect the data just in case you haven't O'd yet, but it won't help you find your O date if you have already O'd, and it won't tell you when to expect AF... it might be best to wait until the next cycle unless you just want some practice

Or, just get a BFP instead!

Well, starting to chart now isn't really going to give you too much info, but it may help you get into the routine if you want to start with next AF. And it may give you an idea of what your luteal phase temps would be when you are not pg so you can have a point of reference. I personally love to chart and think it gives you a real insight into what your body is doing. But hopefully you won't have to worry about it and you will get your definite BFP!

The only thing your temps from this point on will tell is IF they drop drastically you could prepare for AF. However, from what i know about charting (which is limited) you would need to know your coverline. You temps shift after you O and the coverline is basically that temperature at which your shift occured (correct me if I am wrong or not giving enough detail).

If you have not O'd yet temping would help you determine when you have (but only if you have not already). If you have and your temps climb or fall it could tell you a little but certainly not as much as if you temped all cycle. And would only give you information after a few days of collecting temps.
