Did I even ovulate??

[fizzypop]

Hi all,

I am new here but TTC for 3 months. The first 2 months I didn't really track, just kind of kept an eye out for fertile CM. Anyway, this month I've been tracking. I am confused about my temps and CM though...

My BBT was low after AF (35.8) then shot up to 36.5 for 6 days (from CD 11 to 16) while I was ill. It dipped to 35.8 on CD17 and CD18 (during which time my CM was watery but sparse). It then went up to 36.1-36.5 on CD19 to CD27 (roday). My question is... Did I ovulate on CD17/18? I can't tell because the temps before then were high and I never got EWCM. We only BD'd on CD17, so is it possible that we timed it well?? If I did ovulate then I am about 10dpo and have had heartburn and been right off my food and craving fizzy drinks, which I NEVER get. I know I'm just looking too much in to it.. I don't 'feel' pregnant, but then I've always thought I'd struggle to conceive. I just don't think I'm lucky enough.

Anyway, what are your thought?? Thanks in advance

Xxx

I should add that my cycle is normally between 29 and 36 days

It's hard to tell without actually seeing those temps on a chart, but it sounds like you may have timed things right. If your temps stay high, and you don't see AF in the next few days, I might consider testing.

I agree with puppymom, it sounds like you were most fertile on CD17-18. keep checking those temps. 18 or more high temps is a good sign!

Thanks girls.. Just peace of mind really. I don't like the thought of 'missing a month'! It takes so bloomin' long to get to the next one! How people who have been TTC for years don't go nuts I do not know.

I totally agree fizzypop! I'm on CD8 and I'm going bonkers counting down the days! Can't waste that precious window of fertility. Who knew it was going to be so complicated and stressful!!

I think it's possible that you ovulated on CD17/18. Some people don't always get a lot of EWCM at ovulation (I've heard drinking more water might help with that).
Last month I ovulated around CD17/18 and looks like CD18 this month.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
