Hey there~ have a questionedited w/ working link

wishfulgal · #1 November 10th, 2009, 10:30 AM

Hi~ I'm new to this board but not to JM. I have a different circumstances because I haven't had AF since my son was born almost 10 months ago, due to BFing. I just weaned him a week ago and started a new chart on the day I weaned him. 2a76d7 Ovulation Charts

I have never had EWCM before and thought maybe I was ovulating, but it doesn't look like I have yet. Was it just my hormones starting to gear up? Anyone have any experience with this?

Hmmm....that link did not work for me.....I would love to take a look at it for you, though!

I just went through this myself. I weaned DD June 7th of this year and didn't get AF back until July 29th. So, it took awhile for AF to come back for me. I also just looked back at my chart and saw several patches of EWCM (I started officially charting in May). It kept looking like my body was gearing up to O, but it took it awhile. My guess is that it could take a little bit for your body to regulate itself, but everyone is different. Some people catch that first egg after BF. I hope that your body is able to do that. I still think my body is trying to get back to normal, but then again, my body seems to not do things normally

with Brooke. It's very possible that your body is trying to get things back to normal.

Are you guys trying for #2?

Nope. That link just takes me to my chart.

Log in to FF
Click on Sharing
Click on Home Page Setup
At the top of the page you will see a box that contains the URL to your charting home page.
Copy that and paste it here.

Since you guys are trying... if you're unsure of when you are actually gonna O, I'd say anytime you have cm that feels slippery like eggwhites, get busy!!

Hope you're able to get your chart up... we're dying for a new one to stalk!!

Hi

I am still breastfeeding but my AF came back at 14 months anyway. My cycles seminormal except for a short lutel phase.

I had several patches of EWCM prior to Af starting.

My body doesn't really do things normally either. Did you ovulate before your first AF? Part of me wonders if I'm just wasting my time charting right now and if I should just wait until AF shows up.

Coley · #11 November 11th, 2009, 10:14 AM

YAY!!! You got your chart up!!!!

brookes630 · #12 November 11th, 2009, 03:00 PM

According to my chart (sorry that I don't have that one posted), I did ovulate. We probably might have had a good chance of getting pg had our doctor not told us to use condoms right then (long story). I was very regular before I had DD, but now my body is just all over the place since I've had her. I'm still waiting for everything to come back to normal. At least my cycles are kind of starting to level out again.

I had to go digging to find my old charts. I wasn't using FF back then and I forgot what the url was for my TCOYF chart. I don't know if I o'd before I got my first PP AF or not since I didn't start temping until she showed. But my first PP AF was just like one day of spotting. Then this was my first PP cycle. I was bfing.

You can see it does look like I o'd or tried to but I had a really short luteal phase.

Don't scroll through all my charts though because I wasn't consistent with temping then and some of the really long cycles were not really that long (I don't think). I think I just stopped temping during those periods. I can't remember.

I think it is good that you are charting now because it is hard to know if you will ovulate first or you will get AF first.
