Okay fantastic. I coerced DF to BD the first two days,unfortunately, he will be working all day and night, so we probably wont get a chance tonight(third day of positives)
I don't temp, because my sleep patterns are crazy, actually, my sleep patterns just don't EXIST lol
But I've had plenty if cm over the past few days, and my CP is high, and open, so Im just going to assume I have.
Beyond that my period comes pretty consistently after the OPKs. About 11-14 days after,however, im on CD36 now, so im guessing my lining will be too old to implant,if we did conceive. But a girl can dream right?
You know I have similar crazy sleep patterns but I still temp, and it helped me pinpoint O day better than an OPK did.
I got stabbing cramps on my left ovary, for 30 seconds, twice on O day (CD25, April 7), same day my temp jumped from the 97.0-97.5 range to the 98.6 range (also got a slight dip on O day on my chart). So it's WORTH charting even with an irregular sleep cycle, IMHO. It's worked for me despite having non-regular sleep patterns. You'll at least know it's a ballpark estimate, eh?
I attached my chart to show you that even with irregular sleep patterns, it still looks plenty like everyone else's charts. There were days I accidentally forgot within 5 min of waking then got back into bed, waited 10 minutes, and took my temp and recorded it. And the times I woke up varied from 2pm, 3:30pm, 5pm, 7am, 4am, 12:30pm, and so forth.
So it isn't invalidated simply because you can't be SUPER DUPER STRICT, get up the SAME time every single day, and take it before MOVING AT ALL. That's the general directive, but it's not needed for the temps to work on your chart. And of course, it's BETTER to follow those directives, but if you can't it isn't the end of the BBT charting world. In my experience, at least.
ETA: I started temping about 2 weeks after my period came, (the temps below the line), and am currently in TWW, with one positive preg test and the rest negative, and I had what seemed like Implanation bleeding about 2 days ago. So I'm just crossing my fingers that once my temps drop, AF will stay away!

and I'll get a

That's probably wishful thinking, though. It's my first cycle TTCing, and I've had a rough time.
