Hi! I'm new here!
This is the first month that my husband and I have been officially TTC. For the past few of months we have been NTNP, but we just started to start TTC in earnest, so this month I decided to start charting to get a more accurate idea of when I ovulate. And now Im confused and worried!
I went off birth control last year and since then I have always had very consistent cycles they are usually exactly 28 days long, but I have had cycles as short as 26 days and as long as 30 days. Regardless I have always noticed a few days of EWCM around the middle of my cycle.
Now, my first month charting, everything seems off! Im on CD20 and my temps have been consistent all month. Theres been no temp spike yet Ive been consistently between 97 and 97.4 degrees the whole cycle. I also havent noticed any EWCM this month at all! Based on my history, I would think that I would have ovulated by this time, or at least noticed an increase in CM? Does this mean Im having an anovulatory cycle and not ovulating? Or is the stress/excitement of actually TTC and being hyperaware of symptoms making my cycle all wonky this month? I'm getting obsessive over all this charting and I think that may be stressing me out, but I can't help it. Im confused, and now that Im officially TTC, worried!
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Should I be concerned? Part of me wants to stop charting and just relax, but the other part of me wants to know exactly whats going on with my body.
