Fertility friend said I didn't ovulate...can I have some fresh eyes look at my chart?

[AbbyLink]

So, fertility friend is saying I haven't ovulated yet. I will admit my Post O temps are lower than they have ever been since I started charting. Kind of weird but I'm pretty sure I ovulated. Had all the usual signs. Eggwhite CM, ovulatory cramping, etc. I know you can have those symptoms and not Ovulate but there hasn't been a month yet where I havent. It's been at 98.0 for three days now and shot up to that from 97.7 I'm confused. What do you ladies think?

 

[taylorxx]

I personally don't think you've ovulated as there's no thermal shift at all. How long are your cycles? Your post O temps last cycle were above 98.0 and were mainly in the 99's.. EWCM does not always mean ovulation, it happens when you get an estrogen surge which happens right after/before AF, sometimes all throughout your cycle (even after ov), but mainly before ov. You're still pretty early for ov as you ovulated last cycle on CD15, I'm sure it will happen any day xx

Also, you need to use a BBT as regular thermometers are not near as sensitive enough and fluctuate quite a bit.

I did use a BBT. Maybe it was just an anovulation cycle? When I am on Clomid I ovulate around cycle day 15 when I am off it (which I am now) I ovulate around cycle day 13 or 14. All my body signs indicate post ovulation so may be this cycle it's just not going to happen. Thank you so much for your help

 

[taylorxx]

BBT's measure to .01 degrees, not .1 degrees.. That's all I see from your chart? CD17 isn't too bad so you will probably just ov a little late since you're off Clomid now. Hope you figure it out soon xx

To me, based on your temps, it looks like o might've happened. It's hard to tell when that's all to go off though, kwim? I find even if I chart cm and cervical position based on best guess, it helps paint a better pic.

I think it looks like you ovulated as well, make sure that your chart is set to Advanced Detection, and add in the EWCM and other O symptoms that you had as well. Good Luck!

Possibly CD14? But, I'm not sure if you have ovulated or not.

 

[Impatientfor2]

I would say you possibly O'ed cd14 since you had a slight rise on cd15-17, but very hard to tell. Do you check your cervix? Any signs with that?

 

[tmr1234]

try tacking out your 1st 3 temps and ff should give you an o day of cd14. But like said you need a bbt that reads .01 not .1 as that .01 can make a big diff

Ok, so I am sure I ovulated before my temp hit 98.0. That's usually always my coverline and I'm super confident that's when I did. The thing that I'm curious about is that I had three days of 98.0 then it shot up to 98.5 and now it's back down to 98.3....Ive been charing for months and have never had a chart like this. I usually shoot way up after ovualtion. Anyone else had an experience like this or a positive test with a lower bbt chart?

...ok so.... I didn't add in when I had Eggwhite CM so I guess it just didn't register until I did. Now it's saying I ovulated on CD 14. WHich is when I though. But my temps are still lower than normal. I've had my pregesterone levels checked and the doc says they are great

 

[taylorxx]

flat temps are normal when using a regular thermometer. I recommend you getting a BBT as they are way more accurate and sensitive I'd say you either ovulated on CD14 or 17 xx

Well, I bought my "BBT" Online. It's pink and it said BBT on the box. I'm confused.

 

[taylorxx]

If it doesn't measure 97.09, it's not a bbt. All your temps are like 97.1 It has to be .01, not .1 xx

Ok. Thanks. Maybe I'll lookfor another BBT...Wonder why theone I have sais BBT....Thanks so much for responding!

 

[taylorxx]

I'm not sure.. maybe it wasn't a real bbt and they just sold it as one? CVS has a good one and it's lasted me 6-7 months of everyday use and still going strong, it's only about $12 xx

 

[cckarting]

my bbt does the .00 but it never shows that way on ff?

 

[taylorxx]

It does show it on your FF?

 

[Impatientfor2]

I have had lower than normal temps this cycle as well... not sure what's going on. My chart looks nothing like my past charts - guess you just never know!

Most of your temps last cycle had open circles which means you took your temp later/earlier than usual, that could be why they are lower than usual xx
