I've just been so worried that I'm not ov-ing but I guess i'll soon find out. It's so silly but the excitement of what my temps might do actually wakes me up in the morning sometimes! x

Hi Ladies,

Can i join this thread? I have just started charting (not really well mind you) but i have been waiting for my second cycle to start fresh... waiting for AF 2 days late. Though i started charting my temp at the same time every morning for the last three days.

I am new to charting though having a masters in nursing should help right? Wrong lol though i am sure i will get the hang of it really soon, the science of baby making is something they should have taught us in more details at uni.

I doubt I am expecting I have tested twice both resulting in BFN which I'm not surprised because DH and I have been preoccupied with staff Christmas party's this month i think we've missed our egg.

We will start seriously TTC when my next cycle starts and I am very excited to about it, it's the waiting for my cycle to start that is frustrating...

This is my chart http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/29bde4 it's not fanatic but i am planning on improving it.

For all! Xx

I would say you probably are ovving ok - I know you haven't yet this cycle, but if you look at your range of temps so far they are mostly in the 97.0 - 97.6 range, but in your last months chart which was probably all post-ov, your temps are 97.6-98.6 - that's a very clear shift in temps.

Say for example you had a perfectly healthy LP of 12 days, then you could be ovving today! FX!

Hey chick! I'm curious to know why you think you're 2 days late and why you've got a manual ov in FF? You're only 11dpo, so is your LP usually only 9 days?

Hi moochacha. These ladies are so lovely and helpful.. you will love this thread!

I'm still waiting to ov. Another neg opk and another temp drop. FX for tomorrow! x

Hmm... I wonder if you're still a few days out from Ovulation now? Looking at my chart I started a temp dip on cd 12 and didn't ovulate until cd 18. Had a slight uptick in temp the day before ovulation, then a drop on actual ovulation day, and then of course the temp spike the day after.

So guess we'll just have to wait and see what your opk and temps say. This gets frustrating doesn't it (although I still find charting so fascinating!).

I know! I just don't want to wear my dh out and miss the egg. The cycle before my last was 34 days so it could well be a few days. I think I'm getting ov pains though but I've been thinking that for the last 2 days so ummmm.. !! How are you doing today lovely lady? x

Welcome Moochacha!!

It's amazing the things they DON'T teach in school isn't it?!?! I've talked to too many doctors who specialize in OB, GYN, and fertility, but yet are completely thrown for a loop when you tell them you don't have a normal 28 day cycle and ovulate on day 14! I can only imagine if I get lucky and get a BFP all the fuss I will cause trying to explain that my due date should really be 4 days later than their silly calendar wheel thing shows.

If this month isn't your BFP then I'm at least wishing that AF shows up real soon so that you can get started charting for the next cycle. Although your'e not out until AF shows up, so there is definitely still hope for you!!!!

I did that exact same thing today!! I was so excited to see if my temps continued to rise (4 DPO) that I totally messed myself up. I woke up at 5:30 and normally don't temp until 6:45 at the earliest. But I was so awake and alert and my heart was racing that I think I totally screwed the temp up. It was way higher than the previous day. While I'm glad it went up, I think it probably was a bit exagerated. Hopefully tomorrow I can sleep until my alarm and get a more accurate reading.

LOL! Yep that's exactly what I do!! x
