Hi Everyone!!! I am new to this whole temp charing thing. I have been doing lots of reading and trying to inform myself as best I can. I have been a follower of JustMommies for awhile now, but I now have questions that I can't find that answers to. I have been off the birth control pill for 8 months now, we havn't been trying not to get pregnant but we havn't been actually trying until this past month. I thought I would start things off correctly by charting my morning temp as well as checking my CM. So this morning I noticed a change from the creamy CM I had yesterday to a Egg White CM. So I took this as a signal that my peak fertility time was near so this morning we did the BD. As far as my temp chart........I havn't noticed a change? I have been up and down .1 to .2 of a degree with a few mornings of a difference of .4 for this entire cycle. I am right now at CD 25? My question is....................is it possible to have a CM change but not notice a temp spike which would indicate ovulation? I am a little confused about this? I have always had very irregular cycyles so I am trying to get things figured out as to the length of my cycles and such. Any tips or hits would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey and Welcome!!  I would love to have a look at your chart, can you post a link??
Ovulation isnt confirmed until you have 3 consecutive higher temps than your pre-O highest temp. Kind of confusing.....but the girls here love to stalk charts and root everyone on, so I know looking at your chart would give us a better indication as far as what MIGHT be going on.

You will probably have a few days of EWCM before you ovulate and your temp goes up. Have you read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility? It is a really great one for charting.

I agree, pick up a copy of TCOYF. I got mine from a local off of craigslist for $10, when its usually $30 new. You can check your local library too, but dont be surprised if there is a wait.
Also, you will know you are Oing by your Cp, high and open.

Hi there Welcome to our board. To get a link, you have to go to Home Page set up on FF and copy that website address to us. I'm not sure if you'll be able to post a link since you only have 5 posts, you might need to post a few more time, I think it's either 10 or 15 posts, and then you'll be able to. Let us know if that doesnt' work

Ok..............so its not working. I clicked on the "insert link" button and I copied and pasted the link from FF which shows my temp chart. However when I clink on the link above all I get is the log in page. What am I doing wrong?

Here's what you wanna do...
1. Go into FF.
2. Click on Sharing
3. Click on Home Page Setup
4. At the top of the screen, you'll see a box that says "Your Charting Home Page Web Address".
5. Copy and Paste that url into your message
That should do it!!
