but I have a question for all you knowledgeable ladies. I'm sorry I haven't been able to get my first chart up yet, but will try when I get a chance.

I'm currently nursing our youngest (3 months old) and formula feeding him. I'm temping just to get an idea of what's going on with my body. I'm pretty sure I o'd 6 days ago. My temps were a constant 97 degrees for 6 days than when up to a constant 97.3 degrees for the last 6 days. Very steady. I know you are suppose to see more of an increase than .3 degrees, but thats what I got. When my temp shifted upwards I had lots of CM. I had a glob of it fall out as I went pee and we had had sex about 8 hours earlier so it could have been leftover stuff from that, but it sank to the bottom of the toliet. I'm pretty sure it was cm though. Now that I've O'd (pretty sure) I've still had a little CM, only it's not the clear kind, it's more whitish and clumpy. I thought I was suppose to have cm dry up after O. Does anyone else have this or am I just odd?

Thanks ladies! Sorry it's so detailed!

It's normal for it to turn creamy, just no longer stretchy. Your temps seem very low to be ovulatory. keep temping and watch for 3 consecutive high temps

I agree. You may see creamy cm during the two week wait. For me, I am normally pretty dry after I ovulate though.

I think your temps seem like preo temps to me too. Have you had a postpartum period yet? My AFs never returned until my kids were a year but I was for the most part exclusively bfing. If you are still breastfeeding though that can make your chart a little wacky. You may not be ovulating yet or may have a shorter luteal phase while you are bfing. I think it is good you are charting because you will be able to tell if you are ovulating when you think you are, how long your luteal phase is, etc.

I'm no expert on the temps, so I will just say that I never really dry up. My CM is always creamy then EW then creamy again. I also had a lot of creamy CM while I was BFing... I kept expecting to get AF, but that didn't happy until Ethan was almost 9 months old!

Thanks ladies. I guess I will just keep charting and see if I see any pattern over the next couple of months.
