Any chart experts got a sec?

gah i'm so bummed - i missed 2 temps this month due to having big family events... seems they were crucial as ff can only say ov was between cd8-18! being obsessed i also use Countdown to Pregnancy - and right until i entered today's temp it said ov was cd15 - now it suggest cd12...

I'm hoping that i ovd on cd 15.... oddly i started to get sore boobs before then which initially made me think i ovd earlier - but then on cd15 i had more ewcm than i've ever had and cramps on the morning of cd16

i took soy cd2-6. previous months i've spotted on off almost directly after ov until af - no so far this month so am hoping this is a good sign (although now gettin cramps so maybe it's en route)

if anyone has a second to offer their wisdom of when they think i ovd i'd super grateful..... here's my chart link

From what I see, it looks like your most likely O date is either CD14 or CD15.... maybe super early on CD16 since you said you had cramps. But everything else matches up for O day to be CD15 for you this month!

 

[dachsundmom]

It looks to me like the x-hairs would be on CD14?

 

[rjsmam]

aw thanks MackMomma - i sure hope that it was !!! appreciate you taking the time to look!

I agree with Dmom think it was CD14, you had a dip that day as well.

If you really want FF to draw cross hairs you could just make up a temp for the 2 (crucial!) days you missed.

 

[Junebug_CJ]

I think CD14, agree with DMom and NS!

 

[MackMomma8]

^^WSS... I do that sometimes, too, if I miss a few temps. I'd say put in a low temp @ CD14 & and high temp @ CD15, and see what it says, then put low temps on CD14 & CD15 to see if FF changes its interpretation. I still say you O'd CD15, but that's because I trust your bodily symptoms (EWCM and cramps) more than any chart.

 

[amommy]

I think with EWCM and temps that it was probably day 15, even 16 possibly but more likely 15

you ladies ROCK ! thank you all so much i posted in the normal TTC area few days ago and go no responses

had to take today's temp 1.5hrs earlier - am never sure whether to adjust or not have... i have done & it's way high - so FF is even more unsure now... says cd8-19.....

have extreme sore boobs today again, i usually get very sore boobs after ov but wonder if taking soy gives super ov symptoms

Use this link; I adjust anything over ten minutes. But, now your temp will be even higher if you were early taking it.

 

[dachsundmom]

This is my first soy cycle and I have had the sore boobs since right before OV; I marked them in FF not as a symptom, but to track the soy.

Btw, it also changed my CM a little, so be very careful about reading your body signs right now. I'd depend on the temps. Fx'd.

I do the same, and it helps FF out a lot, FF struggles to cope with a change in routine (mind you so do I, had 2 x 6.30 starts this week and it HURT LOL)

 

[rjsmam]

thanks DMom - that's interesting to know re your 'symptoms' with soy thanks for sharing....

i already adjusted the temp but made a note of what the original was

 

[rjsmam]

gutted! appear to be getting af.... grr... after feeling positive that i'd had no spotting yet - which i usually get after ov until af - i now have bright red blood & af pains..... was at cinema with kids & started getting hypo attack which i often get around ov (not diabetic or anything is just hormonal apparently) got home & sure enough am bleeding...

not sure if means we were all wrong with ov date or if my luteal phase is just horribly short...... usually my cycles are 29/30 days but this would be only 23.. a soy side affect? thought i was 8dpo thought af was due next wk end - our first wedding anniversary. at least i wont have af for that...

Crap, sorry to hear that.

The thing with supplements is you jsut don't know how they are going to affect you - EPO moved my O date back and shortened by LP from 16 days to 9 days...so maybe soy is not agreeing with your system?

 

[dachsundmom]

I have heard of soy shortening your LP...do you mind if I ask why you took it? If you are estrogen dominant, you don't want to go anywhere near soy.

 

[rjsmam]

urg i didn't know that about soy - thought it was the other way round.. i had really short lp's and stupidly thought i'd try it to make me ov earlier... i guess i saw lots of successes and was impatient. darn i was so hopeful this month too.. meh

 

[rjsmam]

ps feel free to tell me i'm a crazy fool

 

[dachsundmom]

I just tried it for the hell of it and bc I have been on the drugs without success; I figured that I had nothing to lose.

I could be wrong about the soy, but I don't think I would use it to lengthen a LP. I would probably head for 100mg of B6 first. But, I need to say this...it is so easy to jump on the latest supplement bc you read success stories on the forums. Please keep in mind that this is just a very small percentage of the TTC population, so the stats will be very skewed.

 

[dachsundmom]

Nope, not crazy. lol
