New to charting and getting cheesed off!

[yncarn8]

I started using FF this month although I have dabbled with Hormonal Forecaster in the past. Although I find it easy to follow and very intuitive I'm getting really frustrated.

My cycle is all over the place, last month it was 25 days and this month I'm on day 17 and still waiting for the temperature rise. My OH is shagged out and falling asleep at work because I keep proddding him to BD.

I had EWCM 2 days ago and I've had what I've always thought was ovulation pain for the last 2 days but my chart just isn't playing the game.

Don't get me started on my saliva scope, and opk's, I started testing at the end of my surge last cycle and missed it (because I had a 25 day cycle), even though I got a fern later on (Perhaps my specs were dirty.)

I refuse to shell out for a clearblue fertility monitor but I'm so tempted.



I just wish it wasn't all so technical, only nature just hasn't taken it's course in the last year.



Thanks for letting me vent.

Awww it is all so frustrating. I don't temp anymore because my temps were all over the place, I believe that you know your own body, so listen to what it is telling you. If you had EWCM and o pains for the past couple of days then you are more than likely ovulating.

This TTC lark is enough to send you , I hope it settles down for you soon and you get your BFP.

Are you taking your temp at the same time everyday? that was a big downfall with me for temping.
The salivascope never worked for me and neither did opks.

I can highly reccomend the clearblue monitor, you dont have to shell out loads for one. i got mine from ebay for £52

I usually need to pee between 6am and 7am most mornings so I do it before I get up.

I've been looking at them on ebay today - I need to save my pennies for one I think, or see if the budget will stretch.

Thanks.
