I'm the same way, charts haven't really showed any pattern and I'll have really long(23day) periods. But I just got done with a fertility cleanse and I'm hoping this cycle will be better! GL!

Okay, first of all, how are you temping? Your temps are all over the place and you have a lot of empty circles which means you are probably not testing at the same time everyday. I saw you had a +OPK last cycle and then your period came 14 days later. So, it seems to me, that you probably have a 14 day LP, which means you should ovulate exactly 14 days before your period is due. Even if you have wonky cycles, the LP never really changes. Mine is 12 days and its always 12 days even if I have a 31 day cycle, 35 day cycle or, like this month, a 43 day cycle.

Second, in order to have a period every month, that means that you are ovulating at some point. For myself, I didn't ovulate for the past 7 months, so I didn't have a period naturally. I had to take progesterone to get a period.

So, if you are wanting to figure out your ovulation better, my suggestion is to first be sure to take your temp at the EXACT same time every day, no exceptions. I personally set an alarm at 6:00 am every morning which is way before I normally get up, but it makes sure that my temps are accurate. Also, once you take your temp, you can not get out of bed or anything, you need to lie there and take your temp the second you wake up. Lastly, you need to sleep atleast 3-4 hours straight through before you take your temp. If you have a restless night, or go to bed really late, your temps the next morning won't be accurate.

Anyway, I hope that helps!

I had very regular periods but was never ovulating! I didn't even know that was possible till I talked to my dr. If you don't o your temps will be all over the place. I used acupuncture to start ovulating. Good luck

What you are referring to is called estrogen breakthrough bleeding and is not a true period. You can not have a true period without ovulating first as periods are a direct result of ovulation. "True period" meaning that your body releases hormones ( progesterone) to make your lining thicker and then it shedding it when your progesterone levels drop. Estrogen breakthrough bleeding is just when your lining get to a point where your uterus cant sustain it any longer and it sheds it.

Yes, this is true. However my bleeding was every 28-31 days and indistinguishable from a true period.

Ty girls, bee bee my temps are either ar 5 or 7 am but just this cycle ive caught on that they differ greatly last night was the first timei set an alarm to temp which i will b doing going forward, i wanna say last cycle i picked my darkest opk which looked likr a positive. Few cycles back i had cbopks i got two smileys but only to get my af 4/5 days later thkse were my shortest cycles ever im taking vitex which i hope gets me somewhere reason i thibk i dont ovulate is because i never get that temp rise like everyone else

Yes, I've done opks a couple months and never get anywhere close to a positive unfortunately. Last cycle I finally got close but didn't get positive, I wasn't temping then either(Darn it) because I so fed up with that cycle. If you want a good website to look for cleanses, I recommend natural-fertility-info.com They're awesome! And you can email them any questions you have. GL!!

I'm just saying that without taking an accurate temp, it'll be hard to see a temp rise or a pattern at all. Especially if you are taking them as far as a 2hr difference from day to day. Earlier times will give you a lower temp and later times will give you higher temps, which is why you are seeing those sort of "mountain" patterns on your chart. That's also the reason you arent seeing a temp shift.

I would still very much suggest that you take you temps all at the same time next cycle. Which, you said you set an alarm, so that'll be good! Once you temp accurately, you'll be able to tell for sure if you are Oing or not. Then if you aren't, you can show your charts to an OBGYN or a fertility doc and they can diagnose your ovulation problem. You'll def want to chart correctly now too because if you don't, a doc will make you do it anyway

Ty msmc. Ill def look into them i have my trouble with opks i can never b sure of a positive like the dark ones everyone else gets

Bee bee u make a very good point from now on only same time temps i was starting to wonder why the big difference in temps at 5 they are around 96.6 which is period temps and at 7 thay are around 97.05-20 makes sense lets see how I finish my cycle im jist ready for the next one already
