The big bad charters gang! Lol - Page 177

I think it's just frustrating because I've had three pretty normal cycles, I thought my body had worked itself out and the problems with my periods and the cyst were only going to mean a bit of extra pain every now and then

I think I have finally ovulated! My nipples began hurting yesterday, and today are bad! I have found that to be a sign of ovulation after coming off the pill. With this length of cycles, it'll only be one more before we TTC (more likely NTNP)!

I've been spotting for a few days, but my temp plummeted this morning so AF should be here shortly. If I oved when FF 'thinks' I did, which corresponds with when my ov pain was and when my EWCM disappeared, then this cycle I have had a 12 day LP

I know it's only a day longer, but somehow 12 sounds better than 11

Plus my boobies haven't been tender, so I think I will keep taking the B6, as I think it's doing something to help

Really sleepy this morning, might go for a nap in the sunshine

You've got a nice temp rise there, hopefully one more and you'll get your crosshairs! And so exciting just one more month to go!

I'm so confused about my opks, this is what I've had over the last few days (I've gone a bit mad with peeing on a stick!!):
Fri 11am - almost positive but not quite
Fri 3pm - fairly pale
Fri 7pm - even paler
Sat 9am - positive (as dark as control)
Sat 7pm - really pale
Sun 9am - positive (a little bit darker than control)
Sun 4pm - really pale
What's goin on? Is that normal? This is the fisrt time I've had a positive on the opk but not sure why it's going so pale in between positives? I've been trying to not drink too much during the day so I don't think it's due to that.

Hey I was wondering if anyone here could check out my chart from this month?

We used withdraw during my fertile period (I know not the best form of birth control) and my temps have been elevated for 18 days now. I didn't have any O pain though when the thermal shift happened, although I did get constipated (happens every month). Then between 7-10 dpo I had what felt like O pain, but (TMI) really thick snotty CM, not fertile CM.

Do you think my ovulation day is correct and I actually am 18 dpo? Or do you think I ovulated later?

I don't feel pregnant, and I took an hpt yesterday with FMU and it was negative, so I don't think I'm pregnant. But then what's going on?!

Urghh charting is awesome, but sometimes it makes me obsess a little too much!

I wonder if you're body is trying to get ready for O, but keeps going down. It is not uncommon for women to have LH surges throughout their cycles, however they do not always show on OPKs. Maybe that is what is happening to you?

Looking at your chart, it does appear that you ovulated when it says you did. Have you been off BC for long? I would keep watching those temps, and test again if they don't go down. Generally 18 dpo is a good indication of pregnancy, if your temps are still high.

I haven't been on birth control in 3 years, and even then it was only for brief periods of time (it never really agreed with me). Usually my lp is around 13 days, give or take a few, so this is definitely unusual.

I just have a feeling I'm not pregnant though. I am more worried about what would cause 18 days of an elevated temp if it's not pregnancy.

Cheska, remember that OPKs only pick up the rise(s) in LH, not necessarily ovulation.

It's normal to get erratic results due to this.

I would have just thought that it would be positive all the way through the day if it was positive on the morning and the morning after. Am going to do another one around 11am today so will see what happens with that one!
