have you ever had one?


not that I'm aware of, but then, I've only actually charted for a little over a year before I got pregnant with Zoe. I'm not sure what happened before then.

I did - many in AJ's first year. I didn't know it because for a lot of that time I wasn't charting and I thought that since I got AF I thought I ovulated. Oh to be so naive. LOL.

Wait if you weren't charting, how do you know now?
I don't know that I've ever had one, since I've been charting I'm pretty sure I didn't...well maybe once...I had a strange cycle and that might explain the strangeness.

Oh gosh yes. If you call a "cycle" the time from period to period - then it seems like every other "cycle" is annovulatory for me. But technically, those periods just get charted as mid cycle bleeding because with BOM you don't start a new cycle if ovulation hasn't occurred yet.

I didn't know because I didn't start charting till AJ was 7 months old despite getting my first AF days after PP bleeding stopped and exclusively breastfeeding at the time. When I started charting I had many a "period" but still one chart cause like Shawna said - BOM doesn't start a new chart unless you peak. And in those 7 months we weren't exactly careful and I didn't feel ovulation pain like I did (and do now) once I noticed I started to ovulate a little more - so pretty sure I wasn't ovulating.

Ah, OK, I see.
