I've been looking at the chart gallery on FF and seems the temps for annovulatory cycles are really up and down, is that a typical characteristic of those cycles? I'm wondering because mine seem to be flat more often than not. This is only my 2nd month of charting, but never know when AF is coming because I'm so irregular and wasn't sure I would even O, but I'm hoping my temps are an indicator I will at some point this cycle. Thoughts?

Yes, I think erratic temps are typical on anovulatory charts. But some gals will have erratic temps and still ovulate but it would be something I would consider as a possibility if my temps were erratic.

I do NOT think your charts look anovulatory. I could see a definite thermal shift on your last chart even with all the missing temps. I think you may just ovulate irregularly. My cycles can be like that too. Some months I will ovulate on CD12 and have a 24-26 day cycle and other times I won't ovulate until CD17-18 and have a 31-32 day cycle. I think you are ovulating.

Oh but I did notice that it looks like you are using a regular fever thermometer to chart with. That may be why you are seeing such flat temps. I would try to get a bbt thermometer for your next cycle. It will be more accurate and your temps won't look so flat.
