So, can anyone make an educated guess, since my temp dropped precipitously today and I expect AF will show any time, when I actually O'd this cycle? These post-BCP cycles are driving me nuts but at least this one wasn't over 90 days! Small consolation...

All guesses welcome! lol

You might not have. Going on CM and temps you might not have ovulated last cylce.

Honestly I think FF was right on when you O'd, and that todays big drop is probably a sign that AF is on it's way

I think FF has your O date right. It does look like AF is on her way.
How long were you on the BCP before coming off? Are you TTC your first baby? Hang in there! I had a few very weird long cycles after coming off BCP before getting PG with my first son. It can be so frustrating. It took us exactly 1 yr to conceive baby # 1. Sometimes I think it just takes our body a while to get geared up for what you want it to do!

Good luck! Keep up the good charting!

It could be right. It's hard to tell since your CM doesn't match up. I also wonder about the temps you discarded. If they weren't discarded, that might have changed FF's decision about your O date.

Thanks. I do think I O'd because the temp shift is way too big and I agree that it was probably on CD33. I just felt really warm those last 11 days of my cycle, lol...

The temps I discarded are either travel temps which I don't think were accurate or really late waking time temps which I know aren't. I thought it would be a good idea to only count temps that were taken around 7am, my usual waking time. For consistency sake.

I was on BCP for about 6 years. They really suck, these bad/long cycles, and I really hope it doesn't take me a year to conceive - I just turned 32 last week But my LP went from 9 days on my last 92-day cycles, the first off BCP, to 11 on this 43-day one so I think everything should be getting back to normal in the next few cycles, I hope!

As for CM not matching up: honestly, I still have no idea what to look for in CM or how to chart it. It seems really arbitrary and inaccurate to me and I don't know if I am doing it right. Same for the cervical position stuff. I just wouldn't put much stock in those notations at all

I also think that FF was right on your O date. With CM, it's hard to get it right. I can tell most of the time when it's EWCM but not anything else
