Can breastfeeding affect thermal shift?
Ive had EWCM until today (its now dried up) Ive also had +OPK yesterday and the day before and yesterday I had immense ovulation pains (in both ovaries)
The thing is, I was ceratin I've ovulated but I have had no thermal shift. I am still breastfeeding, could this affect my shift/temps? Or is it more likely that ive had an annovulatory cycle (despite all the pains?)?
So reading online aparently without temp shift, it means no O. Sort of hoping i dont get pregnant now as for the past 4 days ive been binging on crisps, chocolate and icecream and i havent been skipping breakfast... probably ruined my sway completely now :(
If you only had the OPK+ yesterday it is probably too early for the temp shift. I would expect it to go up tomorrow or the next day if you have ovulated.
Do you still feed in the night? It might be hard to get accurate temps if you are waking up to feed.
Don't worry too much about what you have been eating the last few days as it is the last few months that counts! A few days of being on the LE diet won't sway much just like a few days of cheating won't turn your sway the other way.
BFing can affect your cycle, but you will still get a thermal shift if you O. Sounds like you have yet to O.
BF can affect your temps and stuff but you would have realized it already.
I suspect that your body geared up to O but changed its mind for some reason and decided to wait (you absolutely can still get O pains from this). This does not mean you had an anovulatory cycle, your body can still O at a later point in time.
Not sure if this is helpful but I ovulated on day 30 of a cycle and got pregnant with my first! My cycles were messed from just getting off birth control.
