I am new to the FAM game and this is my first full cycle charting. So, needless to say, I don't know my pattern yet. I am still breastfeeding my almost 15 month old so it makes interpreting things a little more difficult. I also check my CP to help determine when I might ovulate for that reason. I had very painful ovulation pain starting November 1st and lasting until November 3rd with tons of ewcm those same days (didn't know it was O pain that first day because I have never had it that bad and thought it might be a cyst or something). Then the 3rd I dried up some in the evening and the next morning and when I checked my CP the next morning it was LFC (had been HSO all day the 2nd and 3rd). Then later that morning/afternoon I started cramping again and got a bunch more EWCM and checked my CP later in the evening and it was HSO again. Then next morning (5th) it was LFC again and has stayed that way without anymore ewcm and much less abundant cm that I do have.
So now that I've written a novel, my question is regarding when I actually ovulated. FF has me ovulating the 2nd but I really think it may have been the 3rd or 4th. We are trying to avoid right now but we did have an oops moment on the 1st so I am in the TWW regardless of when ovulation actually happened. I'd like to know when I can test though and when you all think I actually ovulated. I did change my O date on FF but then changed it back to when they originally said. Thanks for your help!
Based on your chart. I would say that you definitely O'ed on either the 3rd or 4th (CD 31 or 32). This is based on your CM, CP, and temps. However, you were still fertile on the 1st (CD 29, when you had sex), so it's absolutely possible that you could have conceived then. I'd say test about 14 days after the 3rd or 4th.
Ovulation occurs closest to the mucus Peak day - which is the last day you felt slippery. FF doesn't really go into enough detail about the mucus for avoiding purposes, but just guessing based on that I'd say CD32 would have been your Peak. The temps seem to confirm that too. The earliest you can test would be Tuesday. You might get an accurate result before that, but if you get a BFN before that it's not set it stone - it could just be too early.
looks like you got your answer with AF being here. Being that you are TTA, that's a good thing![/b]
Yes we are TTA but it would have been very welcomed. I'm really bummed; and only an 8 day LP to boot! And my temps are being stupid and not going down when last af I had they went down quickly. I hate my body.
