UPDATED 1st Month Temping and I have No Idea

Shaylyn · #1 September 11th, 2009, 08:57 PM

Well I've done my temps now for this cycle and I'm on CD 21 ewcm ended yesterday and still have no temp rise. I don't know what this means, I'm afraid it means I don't ovulate. Maybe that's why I haven't been able to conceive

EDITED:
Well I put my third temp into FF this morning and I got the little cross, it says I O'd on CD 21 like I had sort of thought. My ovusoft (TCOYF) program says on the fertility probabilty thing that I was fertile before I O'd but the probabilty of pregnancy from the days I BD'd was lower then after I O'd and was infertile. That doesn't make sense to me, so I just gonna go with Oing on the CD 21 and having Bding every other day up to it. Thanks girls for all the advice.

hi

i think that you might of ovulated on cd 21 considering you had a temp rise the next day.

the say anywhere between .04 - .07 is normal rise after ovulation and you had that.

best of luck and baby dust to you

Even if the maximum amount of EWCM has disappeared, are you still feeling wet or slippery? If so, then you may not have reached the CM Peak yet. Peak is the last day that you feel wet or slippery, even if there's no CM to see anymore.

Secondly, CM and temps don't always line up perfectly. That's normal! It can take the temps an extra day or two to rise after the CM Peak day.

I think it is great that you are charting. If you are having anovulatory cycles you should be able to tell that by charting. It could be that you just ovulate later in your cycle. How long are your cycles normally?

I also agree with Shawna. My cm doesn't always line up with my o date. That used to confuse me because I always thought the day you had the most fertile cm was when you would ovulate. I will sometimes have the most fertile cm several days before I ovulate.

To add your chart to your signature go to edit signature and then you can just copy and paste the url.

I'm new at this too, but it looks like you might have O'd on CD 21. If you have 3 days of higher temps, compared to the temp that day, you might get your crosshairs. KUP

I don't think you've ovulated yet. If you look at my chart (the link is in my siggy) you'll see that I had either EW or watery CM for quite some time before I actually O'd. That will happen if your body gears up for O but then for some reason it doesn't actually happen. I'd give it some more time, keep charting and checking CM and you'll see when you O.

I know how you feel with a long cycle, my last one was 58 days! You'll get there, just be patient.

My cycles have been about 32-34 days long but had a weird one last month that was 27 days long. And I've now dried up.

Hi Shaylyn - charting will be a good way for you to know for sure (or at least much more certain) if you are ovulating or not. As disappointing as it may be if it doesn't look like you are ovulating, once you know you can do something about it so that's the positive. Looking at your chart now I don't think you have ovulated yet, but if your temps continue to rise over the next couple of days FF might identify CD21 as your O date. You temps are a bit all over the place, so that might be making it difficult to see the thermal shift clearly. Are you temping the same time every day, right upon waking? My first few charts looked like yours with temps jumping around until I got used to how to take my temp in a more consistent way.

I usually have a couple of patches of fertile CM before I ovulate. That's normal, I think. So just because you see that and then it goes away doesn't mean you won't ovulate that month. Keep doing what you're doing and the picture will become a lot clearer with a few charts under your belt.

Good luck!

well i usually take my temp at 7:30 am but there have been a couple times this month where I've woken up early and in the middle of the night. So I'm sure that's what is messing me up. I hope it will give me an O day tomorrow.

Second of all, I am so glad you know that you o'd now! Now you get to obsess during the two week wait like the rest of us!
