Does it look like I might have O'd?

Hello Girls,
I am hoping that you can help me out here! This is my second cycle charting. Before I started charting I always had 28-29 day cycles, I was never on BC but I was always "by the book" with AF. She was never really early/late. Anyway, Last month I had a 35 day cycle. I sort of just chalked it up to it being my first cycle charting, and I was really stressed about it, so that caused AF to be late. Anyway, now this month, I am finding that my temps are all over the place, up and down, etc.

I was told that this month, my chart might be messed up a little bit due to my long cycle last month. Anyway, it sort of looks like I had a dip in temperatures and then my temps have been going up these past few days.. FF isn't saying I O'd.. but it looks lie I might have.. what do you all think?? I would really appreciate any input because I am still very new (and confused) with this.

Hummm... you may have O'ed but I actually don't think so. That's just a personal opinion. If you have one more temp as high as today you may get CH, though.

If you're recording it, it doesn't look like you've really had fertile CM yet. And, CD 11 is pretty early to O. Do you know how long your LP is? I saw your previous chart and see you only had a few days between O'ing and having AF. Did you post about it? It seems familiar. Is there any explination to it?

My temps are always all over the place. I'm not a good sleeper by any means. But, if you look at my chart (for last cycle, not this one since I haven't O'ed) you will see my temps all over the place. But, you can see that there is a clear shift in temps.

So... I guess it's just a little too early to tell for sure but I don't know that you have O'ed yet.

HTH and good luck.

Yes, last month was crazy for me! I honestly don't know what happened.
It was my first month charting, and I was waking up numerous times during the night to make sure I was up at the "right time" to temp, and then that was stopping me from temping at the same time, and then I couldn't get back to sleep!! And it was just a disaster! lol... I was just wayy too stressed over it all, and I think that is why my cycle was longer than it has ever been.

I don't think I O'd yet either, personally, but I did get some OPK's in the mail today.. but I am unsure when I should/if I should start using them this cycle??? What do you think? Do I use OPK's with FMU or can I use it any time of the day?

I am hoping that last cycle was not typical of my cycles, but since it was my first month charting, I really have no way of knowing. But as I said, I have had 28-29 day cycles since AF first arrived, and I have never been on BC.. so something was different last month, because I went into CD 35 before AF came.

I am just really trying not to stress this month, and I have been doing quite well so far.. I think it's because Christmas shopping/planning/decorating is keeping me so busy that I don't really have time to stress. plus, I'm a teacher, and report cards are going out - so it's a busy time at work as well... Thanks for the reply, and I am hoping that my LP isn't typical of last month, but I really don't know how long it is! I guess I will just have to wait and see!

Good to know though that it's "Ok" that my temps are all over the place!! Thanks again for the reply!

I agree that it is really early to have ovulated. I don't think it is totally impossible though. You don't have any fertile cm marked so that makes me agree with lucidity (sorry I don't know your name). I would just wait and see what tomorrow's temp brings.

I agree with the other ladies

I agree....like Patty said, it's not totally impossible to O that early, but it's very unlikely. Have you had any fertile CM at all?

I would start using the OPKs and see what happens then.

Good luck!!!

I haven't really been checking my CM this month. I think I noted it a couple of days, but I really was trying not to stress about the whole "charting process" this month. I won't make that mistake again next month... because I am dying ot know what is going on, and am probably more stressed now!!! Anyway, FF said that I did O yesterday.. My OPK's just came in the mail, should I start/try using them and see what they say? I mean, I know FF said that I O'd.. but just to be on the safe side maybe I should try them?
