Hello Ladies,
I am very confused at the moment. I have only been TTC since June 29, and started temping on July 4. I understand quite a bit (due to research), but I'm not an expert by any means. So I need help from the pros!
My chart is below. Thanks in advanced!
I currently have the setting on Advanced, which has my O date on CD25. Dotted lines due to noticed EWCM after O. I changed the setting earlier to FAM and it changed it to CD38. DH and I BD during what I thought was my fertile window, as well as the O day that FAM says it was (didn't know this was a possible O date when we BD). So we covered our bases. If I go by the Advanced setting, I'm currently 20DPO, and I have taken two pregnancy tests (using FMU) on CD15 and today (CD20), both which came out negative. If I go by FAM, I am only 7DPO and I know that's too early to test and should wait a few more days. I really think I Oed on CD25 due to ovulation pain, clear +opks, and EWCM. I thought I was out after my temps dropped and were erratic, but since CD38 they have been rising steadily (highest temps I've had this month). I know it's possible to have the signs of O and not O, but O later. Could this be my case? Did I just ovulate late or am I pregnant and my HCG levels are too low to pick up in an HPT, especially with my low temps after O?
Also, I have not had any AF signs, besides fatigue and constipation. However, it's been more dramatic this month. In the past week I have not been able to eat anything without my stomach hurting 30 minutes to an hour later...diarrhea. It's made me feel horrible to where my coworkers are starting to ask questions. I've also been very gassy. This is not normal for me. I usually only have constipation the day before and/or day of AF and then it's gone. I also have EXTREMELY bad cramps when AF arrives to the point of tears at times, so I know the difference between light cramps and AF cramps. I've had a few random episodes after O (CD25) of backaches.
CD33/8DPO and CD34/9DPO I started having a sore throat and very dull cramps, but it went away. And around that time I had "butterfly" feelings in my stomach, but I remember not being nervous about anything...it happened once when we were eating dinner, which I thought was weird.
CD35/DPO10 I couldn't sleep and kept waking up in the middle of the night.
CD42/17DPO I woke up with a stuffy nose and was really thirsty that day (DH has sinus problems so we keep 2 fans on throughout the day and night so he doesn't get stuffy).
CD43/18DPO until today I have had a bad (what feels like a toothache) pain in the back of my mouth. It hurts where I had my lower right molar removed. And a few days before this, my right bottom teeth started becoming sensitive, especially when I brushed my teeth.
The only other thing I have noticed is that my CM has not dried up yet. It varies between EWCM, Creamy, and Sticky, which is another reason why I am so confused. I try checking my CP but I am still lost on how to know if it is high, low, hard, soft...it seems a mix of everything so I don't record it.
AF symptoms = fatigue, severe cramps, and 1-2 days of constipation. So, everything else that I have been getting is really odd for me. I've never missed a period since being normal, so going this late is odd for me. I was irregular during my youth due to sports. I took BCP a month before our marriage (5-26-12) up until 2 weeks before we decided to TTC, which made me normal. I got my first natural period July 18th after stopping BCP. I also had an appointment a few days after we decided to TTC with my OBGYN and everything came back normal.
Last cycle I got depressed from the -HPT (wasn't sure when my O date was since I only had half a cycle to base it off of), so this cycle I have read a book to calm my nerves and get my mind off of it. I have researched some to see if I can find out why I am so late on AF, but I have been more relaxed.
Here are my last periods:
June 15th (last week of BCP) - 33 day cycle (lowest temp 97.65 - highest temp 98.1 - started temping half-way through cycle)
July 18th - 30 day cycle (lowest temp was 96.17 - highest temp was 97.95)
August 17th - current (because I Oed late, FF says I was supposed to have AF on cycle day 40 or 41...but no show so far)
Cycles History
2 cycles Ave. Min. Max. Med.
Ovulation: 16 16 16 16
Luteal Phase: 14 14 14 14
Cycle length: 32 30 33 31.5
So, with all that said (sorry so long...making sure I gave enough detail to allow for the pros to give their viewpoint), do you think I Oed on CD25. If so, do you think I'm pregnant or AF is just taking forever to arrive? Thanks again and I look forward to reading your insight!
