Hi ladies,

I recently joined this message board (after having lurked sporadically over the past year), and I mainly just need to vent and/or ask your opinion about my chart.

A little background: After TTC for 7 months I conceived my daughter (Eve) and she is now 15 mos old. My fertility was suppressed by ANY amount of breastfeeding, so I weaned her at one year to prompt my fertility to return, because we were eager to conceive #2. My cycles started up again immediately; the first cycle was long (I ovulated on or shortly after CD24, I was sick at the time so my temps were messed up), the second cycle was very nearly what my pre-baby cycles had been like (O'ing on CD19), and then we come to my current cycle:

I thought for sure I was O'ing on CD 18 ish, but nooooo. I've never been this late before; my cycles have always been clock-work regular, and no amount of stress or illness has ever suppressed my ovulation. At this point I don't know if I'm looking at an anovulatory chart or a really, really late ovulation. I feel sad and sucker-punched because I thought my cycles were back to normal, and now this. I've been wanting to TTC #2 since my daughter was 10 mos. old, and this new wrinkle in my fertility has me agitated and fearful of the future. I'm hoping this is just residual post-partum cycle weirdness, and that my cycles will get back to normal soon (please God). Does anyone have any encouraging words for me? :-(

It looks like your body may have geared up to O & then didn't (yet) you could still O, just late this cycle.

No matter how normal your cycles are, most women have a cycle or two every year where they don't O, so don't panic too much if AF shows up here in a few days.
