I hate this cycle

I thought I was Oing last wednesday. That was CD19 which is early for me. I've been taking B6 to try to help lengthen my LP so I thought that might have caused an early O. I had a positive OPK on Tuesday and bad O pain on wednesday. However my temps didn't go up convincingly so I just assumed I hadn't Oed. I've not had a lot of cramping the last few days and recently I've had a lot between O and AF.

Anyway, today I got crosshairs and FF thinks I did O on Wednesday after all. The bit that's got me all confused it that I smell like AF is coming. I've heard several people talk about that smell you get just before AF arrives. I used to think it was the actual smell of the blood, but recently I have started to think it's actually a hormonal thing. It used to only happen every month just before AF, but the last few months it's happened around the time I O as well.

So I can conclude that either I never did O last week and I'm about to now, or I *did* O and I'm about to get an early visit from my least favourite aunt

Here's my chart for anyone who'd like to see if they can figure out what's going on:

That is an unusual chart. What's your CM doing - did you notice a significant dry up, or not really?

My CM has been totally screwy since I had my daughter. I started temping again because I couldn't work out what was going on through CM alone any more. I am still partially breastfeeding which I don't think is helping. I haven't really noticed my CM drying up, but I don't tend to dry up greatly after O any more. I also don't seem to get a great deal of fertile CM during O - I get a lot of creamy CM mixed in with the EW and watery CM.

I am going to try taking an OPK tonight to see if I may be about to O now and didn't O last week at all. What an annoying cycle!
