CM, CP & O ?

I have a question, I hope someone can help. First off I've always had a very regular cycle(28 days). This last month was kind of weird. My last real cycle started on 7/25/03, I should have started on 8/22/03, but it came on 9/01/03, 11 days late. Anyways, it wasn't really AF though, very light and spotting for 4 days, skipped a day and then had spotting again. What my question is will I still O since I really didn't have AF. I just started charting temps and they are really up & down. I also got some OPK that I started using Tuesday. I've also been trying to check CP, but last couple of days it was low & this morning it was high I could barely touch it with my finger tips, but I don't have any CM. Is this normal around this time not to have any CM & for CP to be high. I'm guessing I'm on CD10, considering I really didn't have AF. How long before O should I start getting CM. I just started taking Robitussin last night to see if that would help. If anyone can help that would be great, if not thanks for listening.

DO you have a chart that we could look at? It would be helpful to see that to be able to possibly help you out a bit. If your temps were really up and down all last cycle and then with that long delayed AF showing faintly.....perhaps you are annovulatory? It could be that you didn't even "o" last cycle......or maybe you're even pg right now???? It's so hard to guess when theres no chart.

I'll keep my eye out for your response........

Heather, have you taken another hpt just to be sure?

As far as the ovulating, we were in the same boat for awhile so I just wanted to let you know that I believe I ovulated yesterday, 9/9. If you remember, I was 7 days late on a regular 28 day cycle, started what I thought was AF (8/29) but it was weird like yours. So, since I had a hpt left I tested again and it turned out positive. It ended up that the blood wasn't a period but a m/c. You might want to test just in case.

Anyway, I wasn't really expecting to ovulate so soon, but I had EWCM and a + OPK. If I consider 8/29 the first day of my cycle, and that I truely did ovulate yesterday, I would be on cd12.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you sound so much like me last month. Maybe the blood you had wasn't your period but just spotting or signs of a m/c. If that's the case, maybe you're pg now or if you m/c then your cycle is a little off and wont ovulate til later until your cycles gets back to normal. If you haven't taken a pg test since you started AF do. If it's negative, just try to calm down and wait for it. Your cycle could be a little off. Before last month, could you tell when you were ovulating? Look for those signs but don't force yourself to see signs on certain days. I know it's hard cause you don't want to miss them but give it a try.

Hey Susan:

Yes I remember exactly what both of us went through last month. I was 11 days late and tested - everyday I was late. You also tested - as well when you were late, right. I also remember you saying that after your so called AF you took an HPT and it was +, so I decided to as well thinking that maybe it was the same situation but it was -. So right now I guess I'm just waiting, not knowing exactly when I will O since I only really had spotting for AF. I thought too that when your fixing to or when you O that your CP is high, which mine was this morning, but no CM, so right now I'm just confused but trying not to stress myself out. I hope this time works for you Susan.
