UPDATE # 2: I changed my chart on CD 18 to make my new O date CD 23.

UPDATE: FF is now saying I *might* have o'd when I originally thought... but what do the rest of you think? I'm not sure when to expect af now... I could be 11dpo or 6dpo :/

Can anyone share some light on what is happening with me?

This cycle has been beyond weird, and it's the worst! It's bothering me so much because D and I had an "oopsie" about 4 days before I normally ovulate. I've been watching my chart like a mad woman, waiting for ovulation to occur so I'd know if we were in the clear or not.

2b11d9 Ovulation Charts

Now, on average, I ovulate on day 17. I've been known to ovulate as early as CD 14 and as late as CD 24. The one time I ovulated on CD 24 was the cycle after I went off of birth control. Other than that, I am almost always ovulating between CD 16-19.

As you can see on my chart, on CD 17, I got a strong thermal shift. It stayed up for the next day and then dropped by cd 20. This is all normal for me. I usually get a fall back rise 1-2 days after my temp initially jumps up.

Since then though, my temps have been low and I am so confused. I've had fertile mucus, ovulation pains (on BOTH sides this month, which is weird). Last night I had a lot of pain and hardness in my abdomen. I thought for sure I would see a temp rise this morning... NOTHING.
Now I have a lot of creamy-ish CM today.

Of all months to have a wonky cycle, this is the worst. Anyone have any experience as to what might be going on?

Hi! I'm in Nova Scotia too!

it looks to me as though you haven't O'd yet, your temps are about the same, I don't see a thermal shift, in fact your latest temps seem lower than your others.

Thanks for your input!

the CM i am having today is like a mix of creamy and ewcm...it's weird. I just don't know why I have been having fertile mucus for so many days now. It's totally out of the norm.

I guess the next few days will tell.

Just curious, do you temp first thing upon waking?

Yeah, normally at the same time every morning.

Now, the 23rd-25th i was getting up about an hour earlier. I didn't mark that on my chart though.

All the other times were the same as usual though

looks like your body may have failed to o t. Doesn't mean you won't though! You might see a second cycle of your hormones. This has happened to me when i hurt myself once. Have you been under any stress?

Looks like your body just geared up for it and didn't go through with it. It happens to everyone from time to time, no matter how regular you usually are.

Took my temp this morning, and it was up! Now FF says I *might* have O'd when I initially thought I did... but I am not so sure. I kind of think I O'd yesterday. Ah well. At least things are starting to work themself out now!

The only stress I had was on the 22nd. I have terrible driving anxiety and that day after work it snowed unexpectedly and I had to drive home in terrible road conditions with summer tires on my car. It was VERY stressful for me and I felt physically ill afterward. I guess that might have been enough to throw me off a bit.

Other than that, things have been pretty relaxed.

*bump*

Hoping to get some more opinions on this now that I am further along in my cycle!

[hoping and waiting]

It's tough to tell, but I would guess that you O'd on CD23 because of the thermal shift.

I would say you Oed on CD21 or 23, but mostly I say 23 because of the CM dry up from wet to creamy and the temp shift. It looks to me like you tried to O on CD 17 but didn't quite make it.

[alicenwonderland]

i would say cd 23

Thanks girls! I think that's what I will go with!
