Okay, so I have a few more temps now.

I know it's still not as complete as it needs to be, but does anyone have anymore input about if I might have Oed??

Thank you all, you have been great.

Background: I'm temping/using OPKs to AVOID. I want to know if we can stop using condoms already.

Okay, I kind of forgot to temp and/or slept in late or got up early with my LO, so I know this chart isn't super accurate. But in your opinion, do you think it's possible I Oed November 4th?? I had some pretty bad cramping the 2nd-4th, a for sure positive OPK both AM and PM on the 3rd, and also some teeny tiny spotting in CM on the 2nd (kind of worried it was IB at first, but I think it could have been O spotting, which I've never noticed before).

So...

2nd cramps and very light spotting
3rd cramps, DARK positive OPK both AM and PM, possibly fertile CM
4th cramps

and negative OPKs since, like no second line at all


Did I O maybe???

ETA: Today's temp was taken late. The corrected temp is 97.39.

In my opinion, based on CM, I'd say you O'ed on the 3rd. Based solely on OPK, I'd say 3rd or 4th.

Sorry, there just isn't enough CM or temp data to say for sure that you are infertile for the purposes of avoiding! OPK's are a great tool to use, but they aren't conclusive by themselves because you can have a positive and still not ovulate, which is why it's important to have a daily record of CM and/or temps to confirm that ovulation was successful after all.

Yeah, some days I don't think I have CM. Thanks. I wish I could actually sleep enough to temp regularly.

That's perfectly fine, that information is important too - put "dry" on days you have no CM! Some women don't always have enough CM to actually see, but you can still feel it. Have you ever noticed wet or slippery feelings? That's CM, even if you don't see anything!

Temping is not absolutely essential, it's just a nice extra. But in order to rely on the CM alone, it is necessary to observe it daily and record what you observed - even if all you need to put down is "dry" for the day!

Thanks!!

I asked this is TTC too, but what has to happen for FF to say I Oed?

I added in 5 days ahead of higher temps and no CH??

You need to have 3 temps which are higher than the previous 6, then FF will give you your CH's. That's weird that you didn't get any when you added more high temps.

There's still too much of a temp gap between CDs 19 & 25 for FF to confirm O and give CHs.

Oh okay, thanks for explaining.
