I'm noticing more and more that the successful pregnant charts seem to have BD 1-2 days past FF's ovulation line. So I'm making a special effort to continue to BD past when I "think" I've ovulated. I am especially suspicious that the soy somehow makes the egg take longer to leave the gate based on when and how it lengthens the luteal phase.
And then I see the charts where people BD only ONCE the entire cycle and get pregnant and I go
I am working on a theory for interpreting charts that so far seems quite plausible (on ovulatory cycles). But I need more people who have charted a while to really examine it further. I could flush out my ideas here but I think you will all yawn.
It has to do with the peaks and valleys. There seem to be critical points and temperatures that you can map cycles to that are much more reliable than just mapping by days alone -- as time between those critical points can and DOES vary.
So far I can predict ovulation temp dip at day 18 for me. Who knows what 2 more days of soy might do! My face/neck is breaking out in spots like crazy, which is
so bizarre, but apparently is indicative of low estrogen. I already had low estrogen before soy, it must be rock bottom now!!! Fingers crossed once I stop it will boomerang and I'll ovulate ever so slightly earlier. I've noticed that some women with charts like mine tend to get pregnant on the 'crazy' chart -- aka higher temps, more extreme ping-pongs, etc., probably because hormones are stronger.
That means you, too, Maaybe!
Not to get our hopes up for no reason. All sorts of charts become pregnant. But subfertile people who have been trying a while tend to need something to change in order to get their
