first time charting

forevercanadian · #1 December 16th, 2008, 01:05 PM

Hi this is my first time charting i missed the first few days of my cycle though. I have been off birth control for about 3 years now then in april i had severe pain and received my period 2 weeks after i already had it the got it again about 2 1/2 weeks later i went to the doctor and they sent me for an ultrasound but nothing showed up so the dr. put me on BC for 3 months but i stopped after the 1st as it causes me migraines. .. We have been TTC since about march and have no other problems i was getting AF around the same time each month for about 6 months since about july it just keeps getting to be a longer cycle... my last cycle was 46 days and so far i am on day 33. I had spotting for 5 days starting on day 24 of this cycle i have never had spotting before...
I was wondering if anyone had any idea what is going on with my chart. thank you

Are you taking your temp at the same time everyday with at least 3 hours of solid sleep beforehand??

Hopefully someone else can chime in on this as well.
Are you temping orally??? If you are, you might want to try vaginally next cycle. I sleep with my mouth open which makes a big difference with my temps. There are a lot more variables with oral temps than vaginal ones.
I would say to start recording CM which should give you secondary indicator to O. And then just keep charting and see what happens. I would say if it goes on like that for a while, I would call your DR and see if there is anything they can do for you. You should record as much info aspossible on your chart and take it with you. Hopefully your temp shoots up in a few days and you O. Good luck!!!

Here's so info on CM:

I temped orally and vaginally before when I was TTC my daughter. I think temping vaginally is much more reliable. You really can't know if you're sleeping with your mouth open or not, so you know you're safe temping vaginally. If you're going to try it, just make sure you do only one type in a cycle, the temps can be different.
