question about charting....
| Tue, 03-06-2012 - 12:28pm |
Hey ladies,
Quick question. I have pcos and have been treated with met and dexamethasone for over a year now. Started birth control a few months ago but endocrinologist said I could stop. This is my first month charting since 2010 and also first month off birth control. Charting using bbt and cm to see if I ovulated. Cm has been dry, sticky, creamy and the on cd 12 got very very wet. No ewcm except for a really tiny bit I noticed on cd 13 after a bm. My temps are rather low but on cd 12, which is the day of the super wet cm my temp spiked way up. I assumed that was ovulation. Oddly enough the cm went back to very very creamy and then the temps dropped a bit over the next 3 days. My question is did I ovulate or is something wrong. Any advice will help. Since the 12th I have had tons of creamy cm. I guess more then I've ever noticed and also my cp was open and softer around the 12th and it feels more closed and like the tip of my nose now. Could I be past ovulation . Again any advice will help me ..
Thanks
Kat

Hi Kat, it's nice to "meet" you.

This is the link to the chart. I actually do check my cervical mucus internally. The creamy cm is nothing new to me. I have seen it before but not nearly as much as I have seen recently. Yesterday I barely touched that area and it looked as if I had put lotion on my hand there was so much. My temps are definitly wacky though. Unless I'm sleeping with my mouth open unknowingly I don't know what is going on. I plan to switch over to temping vaginaly next month to avoid confusion. That's really where I used to temp.
Thanks
Can some one look at my chart an let me know how they feel about it. My cm is starting to change to sticky now. I don't care about the pregnancy aspect I'm just trying to see if I o'd or not. I was hoping since my meds were working I would.
Thanks
Honestly, it's hard to say.
Thanks for sharing your chart link...sorry I didn't get back to you right away.

I'll be interested to see your chart next cycle if you switch to vaginal temping...just make sure to make a note of that somewhere for people looking at your chart, because your temps will be about a degree higher than they would be if you temp orally.
