Did I O?

Hi,

Could someone take a look at my chart? I am really confused. I had O pains this week, starting about Sunday, which would be right on schedule, and some cramping last night. But my temps haven't gone up yet. Also, I had some EWCM yesterday, and a bit on the weekend. I am so scared that I am not ovulating, and not able to have a baby at all. How much should my temps be going up by? Last month my temps were a lot higher. I know I've missed a few temps, we were gone camping every weekend this month, makes it hard to do. I am going camping this weekend too, but I am bringing my bbt, but it'll probably be later in the morn than usual. Anyways, could someone help me with this? Any input would be great!!!

PS ~ Thank you so much for all your help ladies, it is VERY appreciated. I am so glad I can post questions (and vents) and get answers from you guys. My DH doesn't understand AT ALL!! I think he thinks I am a nutcase.

It's possible you O'd on CD26 and then had a fall back rise-- you record wet CM and a HS CP, so that seems like the most likely date. It's a bit easier to see the temp pattern if you view it in farenheit-- and that somewhat confirms the O date of CD26. I would keep BDing though, since the temp drop may not be a fall back and you may not have actually O'd yet.

HTH.

The good news is that I think you definitely O'd last month on CD 25, since your temp went up and stayed up. This month I am not sure if you have o'd yet. It is still possible that you have, and that your temps are just slow to go up. Unfortunatly the only thing to do now is wait and keep watching your temps. Often I think it is easier to see the pattern toward the end of the month. I also agree about looking at it in fahrenheit. So keep Bding just in case. But try not to stress out too much about O'ing. If it turns out that you don't O consistently, these days that is usually pretty easy for them to fix. (clomid). So keep tracking your cycles so you have the data in case you need it. But hopefully you won't and you will get tht BFP soon. You guys are certainly covering all the bases with the BD!

Good Luck!

Thanks Katie!

I just have one question.....what is a fall back rise? I haven't heard of this before.

Thanks!

I have told myself to relax and just BD all the time so I don't get too wrapped up in the cycle thing. Our bodies are very tuned into our anxieties and worry's. I think it's possible to "try to hard" by keeping track our cycles and BD on just the right times. Then when something doesn't seem on target when we get nervous that something is wrong, but our bodies are not supposed to work like clockwork. It ebbs and flows with our environmental circumstances and our reactions and emotions to those circumstances. (Our bodies are smarter than us). If we are too anxious our bodies may not allow us to conceive because it feels that it is dangerous. (I sound wacky, but it can be true). There is a theory out there that some women who have trouble conceiving, actually conceive when they stop trying. The thinking is that they become more relaxed andthe body feels it is safe to conceive. I am trying to reassure my self of this daily, but it is not easy. I am trying to BD frequently and let nature do it's thing.

PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. I am writing this because I can get very wrapped up in the "OMG maybe I can't have a baby, my body is not normal, etc,etc." My intention is to be supportive to you, while also trying to relieve my own anxieties! THese are my recent thoughts anyway!!!!!!!

Good luck to all of us.

Hi....

Thanks so much, that really does help, I also am trying to tell myself that. I tell myself that God has a special child planned for me and I will have to wait until the time is ready for that child. It really does help. I think I may quit charting next month and just see how it goes, and not get too obsessive :) But anyways, just wanted to say thanks, it's great to have someone to talk to about all this, someone who understands it all!!

May we all see BFP's soon!!!

Thanks and GL,

~Suzy~
