So, I started charting mid cycle (post O I BELIEVE, but I could be wrong). This is my first cycle off BCP and I was on BCPs for 7 years. Same one all 7 years, never had a problem whatsoever. I remember being fairly regular (27-29) day cycles prior to that. I was a swimmer in high school so I kept track because you don't want any surprises while wearing a bathing suit in from of 17 year old boys! ANYWAY....I'm on day 30, and nothing, not a hint of the witch. AND....my chart is saying that I'm fertile....again! I took an hpt yesterday or the day before and it was negative. it was a digi, though.

Your temps are at good Post-O numbers... I think it's saying you're fertile again due to your watery CM.

Since you started temping Post-O... there's no way to know when you O'd for sure, since we can't see temps from the first part of the cycle... or even just a few days before O, kwim?

Digis can be a bit less sensitive... so you're definitely not out yet!

They are good post-O temps, but the pattern looks to me like you might be gearing up to O. You aren't adding a degree or anything like that? Hard to tell without some of the earlier temps.

[melrose09]

No, that's my temp. The first few days weren't always at 7am, but now I set an alarm for 7am and take it immediately. I'm taking it orally. And also it's with a regular thermometer. Is a BBT thermometer totally necessary do you think? Is that what's messing me up?

PS...just to be safe, I POAS...BFN again. I have one more left, but I'm going to wait a few days to see if AF makes a sudden appearance

It's really hard to say with half your chart missing and being right off bcps. Some people go right back to clockwork and other people it takes a cycle or two to be back to normal. I'd wait 3 or 4 days and test again. With the fertile cm you might as well bd too just in case. You never know you could be just now gearing up to O.

[melrose09]

Yeah, we're BDing just in case we always BD just in case hehehehe. I'll keep you guys posted. And if/when my new cycle starts I'll keep track from Day 1. I just didn't find JM and FF until after we started ttc. and boy am I glad I found it. This place keeps me sane! I'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessing over CM, .1 degree temp changes, and BDing every chance

I'm hoping you're preggo and don't have to take this advice, but I would seriously get a BBT. When I first started temping I didn't think I needed a "special thermometer" and my chart looked ridiculous, so I finally broke down and got a BBT. Now it looks much better and I only spent $8!!! Anyway, just my little blurb. Hope you get your BFP soon!

[Servilia]

I agree it's hard to tell ... and try to get a BBT thermometer!!
Good luck!
