connection between AF & O times?

I should have said that even though AF usually starts in the morning (I think so - it certainly did this past cycle but I'm now struggling to think any further back!), I'm pretty sure I usually ovulate in the evening!

My O and AF are always at 10-11PM. Weird, huh? Having been charting for 8 years, I can pinpoint my O to pretty much the exact moment. Too bad I dont believe in O+12!!

The other interesting thing is, that I read about this when I was doing the research on lunaception. The idea was that for people who are super fertile and whose fertility is in line with the lunaception idea (are Oing on the full moon) they then get AF on the new moon when the sky is at its darkest, so in the wee hours of the night of the new moon and they wake up in the morning and have gotten AF. Hobber, since you sleep with the lights on I wonder if that could affect when you even get AF!

(Please note, this is all total speculation.)

Well, I can tell you this cycle it started in the morning. Last cycle I had a tiny pink smear before I went to bed, but got the real AF the next morning (so how do you count that?). THat's as far back as I can remember specifically. But I have gotten it during the day as well (not sure how long ago). I will start paying attention.

I have been sleeping in total darkness (mostly--we do have thin shades, so when the moon is full, some light does leak in, but not much). I will turn on the lights when I want to O this month and we will see what happens! I guess it could take a while to see if all this stuff is lining up, but I will keep you posted! :wink:
