Interpretation of my Chart.

homershippo · #1 September 7th, 2007, 08:10 PM

Well, I'm new here and I don't know where the heck my other post went. What do you guys make of my chart? I'm interested to see what others make of my chart. I'm not quite sure what to think. What do you guys think?

~Jess~ · #2 September 7th, 2007, 08:16 PM

Wow, you o'd really early. I'd take a test if I were you. You're already 12dpo. You should either see af or a bfp in the next couple of days.

homershippo · #3 September 7th, 2007, 09:18 PM

bfp? That's a new term to me? What is that? I'm not expecting AF til the 19th. I've been spot on for the last several months. To the DAY.

~Jess~ · #4 September 7th, 2007, 09:50 PM

bfp = Big Fat Positive = positive home pregnancy test.

As Jess said, you O'd really early. At 12 DPO you might be able to get a positive. If you waited until the 19th(when you say AF is normally due) you'd be something like 23 DPO and definitely pregnant. It can't hurt to test now!

Your chart looks great! I bet you get a bfp soon!

Proverbs31Mom · #7 September 8th, 2007, 07:15 AM

I love your chart.

If you ask my (only me however) I would wait till at least the 15th if AF is due on 19th, and your period between Ovulation and AF seems long. I just think testing 10 days before AF is due is a little too early. (but then again, that is jus tme)

I wish you the best

and just as I say something like here look at my chart, what do you think...we got a nice drop this morning. Now look? It didn't change my date of ovulation though. I"m confused by this??? Should I even get my hopes up on this one? I"m afraid to get them up....

NutMeg76 · #9 September 8th, 2007, 08:04 PM

I would say if you are not due for AF until the 19th you have not O'd yet, the temp dip sort of confirms that. Do you have any type of cervical mucus or a wet or slippery sensation at your vagina toady or recently?

nikas_mommy · #10 September 8th, 2007, 08:34 PM

hmmm I've been known to O early too. Honestly, I'd see what the temp in the AM shows. If it goes back up, maybe you O'd on CD 14 and today's drop could have been an implantation dip... and if it stays down, you'll just have to see if AF shows up or not.

Truly, I havent' much payed attention to it. But, my breasts have been a little tender as of late, like they were with my son. I've also noticed an increase in trips to the bathroom. But, this could all be wishful thinking on my part. (which it probably is) um, I did notice that right after I O'd according to my chart I spotted just a little tiny bit. So, I don't know what that could've been. I don't know, I"m just afraid to get my hopes up. It took me and my husband 1 year and 2 mos. to conceive our first child. But I was having wonky periods that first time too. Now I'm back to normal on this time around. We've been trying since our son turned 1 in January. No luck....But, I haven't really been tracking my temp religiously like I am now though. I don't know what to do...

~Jess~ · #12 September 9th, 2007, 08:58 AM

Looks like you'll probably get af tomorrow...

Admin-pattyandthemoos · #13 September 9th, 2007, 01:01 PM

I think with your temps dropping like they are that you are probably going to get AF. I hope that I am wrong on this but your temps are really on the low side. ((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))

homershippo · #14 September 9th, 2007, 04:11 PM

Yeah, they're a little on the low side, I think they've always been, but these temps are pretty stable compared to my other charts. Maybe I'm just finally back to normal. Now I've got to work on the timing aspect. I think I'm fine if I'm not prego this time. It's the first time I've religiously charted like this. So, hopefully I'll learn more from it and you guys.

When your temp drops so quick like that when AF is due it usually means she is on her way. Sorry

homershippo · #16 September 9th, 2007, 05:34 PM

Well, I must say, I'm not anticipating being pregnant (been let down too many times.) AF is due the 19th soooo sometime next week, I expect her visit.

*Bobbie* · #17 September 9th, 2007, 06:00 PM

Sorry...let me try to explain....

Most women have a LP (the number of days after ovulation) of around 14 days. You might get your period early this month if you did indeed O that early.

Your ovulation date can change month to month, but the LP remains constant. Have you taken the Fertility Friend charting course? It really helped me understand all this.

Hope it helps....and I hope your temps go back up and it turns into a BFP

If you o'd when ff said that you did, then your af will come within the next 2 days if you're not pregnant. 18 days of sustained higher temps mean pregnancy.

I've heard that FF charting course is good, but Taking Charge of Your Fertility (book) is amazing. I strongly recommend it.

I agree, af will probably show within the next day or two unless you are pregnant, if you O'd when FF says you did. Take the FF charting course and read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, it will help a lot in understanding what is going on with your body and cycles
