Oh Dear...It's a game changer! (Long post)

[CupCakeFairy]

Hello, I'm a bit new here in NTNP, been hanging out in WTT but have a slight dilemma which I wondered if any of you ladies could help with

Ok... So this is my first month of charting... but the third month that I've been 'watching' my cycle.

To cut a very long story short, I had to stop taking the pill (pop) in July and since then DH and I have been withdrawing as our only method of contraception. Not the best method but we're not bothered either way Now, since coming off the pill I have had 2 34/35 day cycles and I have noticed that I ovulate around the start of every month. So due to the lack of contraception, I try avoid sex around the ends and starts of months... and that's what I did this month!

I've been feeling a little more 'post ov' the last few days and I was quite confused as to why FF said that I ovulated on the 5th when my temp wasn't too high, but it's FF, right, it can't be that wrong? Since about Saturday/Sunday my temp has shot WAY up! And, like I said, I feel more 'post ov' with the moodiness and sore boobs etc...

So I have gone and added my temps on to FF just now and I got an alert box saying that my new entries showed significant data that meant that the chart would change... So what's so bad about that I hear you ask....

(Thank you if you are still with me at this point )

DH and I DTD twice last week in the days running up to my Ov (FD1 and FD3 to be precise - according to my new FF stats) When I saw this on my graph I just kinda freaked out... And just needed some BnB support!

So... has anyone who charts noticed a change in cycle length? Can anyone help (in any way!)

Thank you all for any help or advice you can give!

All I know is that with the POP pills they can change around for about a year. I've been off Cerazette for nearly 7 months and I have only had 2 complete cycles so far. Hoping you get answers soon xx

I have been off the pill since mid-June. This is my and DH's 5th cycle TTC.. after my chart got all crazy I decided to step back to NTNP, but I couldn't help temping! So here is my chart. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/361431

My cycles before the pill were usually around 28/29 days. And after the pill (up to this cycle) have been exactly 30 each. I don't know what happened this month. My ovulation date set by FF was CD13 and then it switched to CD24 and I have *no* signs of AF starting.. All tests are BFN.

Probably not much help, but you aren't alone!!!

Thanks ladies!

Well, officially... I have had three 35 day cycles! I only had a 9 day long LP which threw me as I thought the standard was 14 (chatting to MIL) and I would have had a much longer cycle if I had to wait 14 days after ovulating.

But AF came exactly when I was expecting her, but for the first time, I was slightly sad. It was also the mother of all periods! its been 10 years since I had to go home (all be it from school back then) because of my period!

So, I didn't need to worry at all... but this month may be the start of ntnp... but plans are for ttc in Jan (which is only one more AF )

Chelle, I can see a pattern in one or two... so thats not bad Keep temping though and all may be relieved!

Thanks all for responses! Its great to know that there is so much support
