Hi, I could use some opinions.

Okay, I'm charting my temp this month. I really have no previous cycles to compare it to. I temped in January and February, but those cycles were 42 and 32 days, because I'd just had my Mirena removed. So they don't exactly show a pattern. When my cycle regulated at 29 days (was there for 3 months) I stopped bothering with temps. Then last month, I had a bunch of symptoms, and no way to tell when I O'd because I hadn't temped.

It turned out I was pregnant, but I had an early miscarriage. Now I'm hoping to get pg this cycle.

The thing is that in the cycles I temped, my lp was 17 days long. So if that really doesn't change for a woman, then in a 29 day cycle I should be Oing on CD 12. But this cycle, I got dotted crosshairs on CD 13. I had negative OPKs on Day 12, 13, and 14. I shrugged it off and kept temping, but my luteal phase temps have been insane. So basically I need some help guessing at what they mean.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Wow, i don't know. You have a lot of open circles so that could be messing the temps up. I say wait for a few days and see if things even out. FF has been known to move cross hairs.
Also, has the weather been as crazy where you are as it has here? I know that my temps were very effected by the temp in the room, whether or not we had the ac on, what I wore to bed etc. That may be giving you the crazy temps as well.

It has, but our bedroom is in the basement, which has a much slower climate change than the rest of the house. When the outside and upstairs are 90, it's still cool down here for a good while.

The only open circle where I got less than 3 hours was todays, and the temps that weren't anywhere near on time are last Sat/Sun. Saturday, I woke up at 7, temped (normal time is 8:30) then fell back asleep, woke up at 1pm and temped again, and there was only a .06 difference. I went with the one at 7, since it was closest to my usual time.

Thank you for replying and taking a look at it.

Thank you for the welcome.

I replaced "sleep deprived" with fatigue on any day where I got 3+ hours, since that's how much I keep hearing is the bare minimum. Also my temp went back up today. But it seems to be dropping overall. The lows are lower and the highs aren't as high.
