which chart is right?

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2007-3/1247...chcyclepic2.jpg that chart is with march 7 on it

which do you think is right? or does this second one mean that i could be pregnant? i took serophene this month, and my cycles have been between 28 and 30 days with the exception of last month, which was 25.
i did a home test on sunday which was day 28 fmu, and it was a BFN, but could have been too early since i don't seem to have my period yet. i am hoping the first one is more likely because we stopped bd out of lack of sex drive on my be half. (not normal for me)

could the big dip on march 7 be an implantation dip, cuz it would have been 9day past o, and fertility friend says that and implantation dip " To be considered as a dip, charts had to show a significant single dip that lasted a single day, occurring between 5 and 12 days past ovulation".

that makes more sense to me, since i think i had eggwhite around the time it said i had od up until i added the 7th in.

thank you for any help

To me the second one looks right.

i took serophene this month, and my cycles have been between 28 and 30 days with the exception of last month, which was 25.

the package specifically says i should ovulate 6-12 days after finishing it, which also makes me think the one without march 7 is right...... ff also had the ch for a few days before march 7, and then that dip came and it went away. with the chart that i od sooner, i actually had so much cm, that i could feel it rubbing between my legs.
sorry if tmi.

i agree with Magan, the 2nd chart looks right. your temps were too erratic for the first on to be right. cm is a secondary fertility sign, just because you have it doesn't mean you O'd. your body could've tried to O and then didn't.

also i don't know what serophine is, but taking meds doesn't guarantee you will O. the dose could've been too low or you could be one of those women that meds just don't work for at all. sorry hon, i think the 2nd chart is right.

serophene is the same thing as clomid, makes you ovulate
and it was almost the highest dose 100 mg.

this is what fertility friend says about clomid too
"I am taking Clomid. When can I expect ovulation and how will it affect my chart?

In most cases, you can expect ovulation within 5-9 days of your last dose of Clomid, but the doctor who prescribed the medication for you should be able to give you a good indication of when to expect ovulation based on your own situation. He or she can also help you plan when to have intercourse based on when you are expecting ovulation.

You may notice that your temperatures are higher on the days you take the pills, but they should level out enough for ovulation to be detected on your chart when it occurs. Some women also notice that cervical fluid is not as abundant when taking Clomid."

i am on clomid so i know how it can affect a chart, but yours is up and down all through your whole cycle not just the days you took it. i just don't see an O pattern on the first chart. and like i said in my previous post taking meds doesn't guarantee you will O. i know several people that the meds just didn't work for. and since your temp for march 7 is a solid dot meaning the temp is accurate i still think the second chart is right.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I am taking Clomid and last cycle I didnt O until CD 56. This cycle I may have O'd on CD 36 but I am not sure of that yet. Taking the medication doesn't mean that you will O, and even though they say 5-12 days after the last pill doesnt mean that it is going to happen that way.

Also you said that you are on a high dose of 100 mg. I dont know if Serophene doses are different than Clomid, but if they are the same 100 mg isn't really that high of a dose. And I can't imagine that this being your first month the dr would have started you on a "high" dose.

I am not that good at reading charts, but I am going to have to agree with the other ladies and say that the second one looks right.

Good Luck and

to you!

I have no idea, but just wanted to wish you luck!

I have taken clomid as well and know how it will affect your temps.
I think being yours are so rocky next cycle you may want to try vaginal temping. If you do that I heard its not supposed to be as rocky.

Only thing I can tell you is to wait it out if AF shows up soon you know the first one is right if she doesnt the second one is right.

auggiebetrue · #12 March 12th, 2007, 10:50 AM

i also have cyclewatch on my computer, and it says i o'd on feb 24.

i had an annovulatory cycle that my temps were up and down a lot like yours. AF came only 2 days late. if you feel like AF is coming it could be that you had an annovulatory cycle.

The second chart looks right to me too. But, it still looks annovulatory to me. There is no real clear thermal shift.

auggiebetrue · #15 March 13th, 2007, 04:14 AM

part of the reason the cycle is rocky is because i sleep in on weekends.

sweetie I just wanted to wish you luck

Your chart looks like an anovulatory cycle to me. There is no clear thermal shift and your temps keep dipping below the "coverline". I would just wait it out hun...are you using OPK's?? Maybe they would better help you to track your eggie??

(((HUGS))) best of luck and keep us posted
