Just caught up on everyone's stories and like StrawberryBella, I'm starting to temp too... think Pbn3 has twisted my arm. Only problem is I've started halfway through the cycle and am only using a regular thermometer, no where locally sells bbt thermometers so will need to look online. So the temps I have aren't all that accurate.

But I have a delema, I'm currently CD37 and AF hasn't shown up and am getting BFNs on frer with fmu... during CD17 and 18 I had darker opks but not positive, we bd CD19 and 20 as I had ewcm and ovulation pains which are rather strong so was pretty certain that I ovulated on CD19, my lp is always 14 days, and cycles are normally between 31-33 days. I was under the impression my cycle would have been 33 days that makes me over by 4 days.... though having said all that last month was 38 days long but I was super stressed with work and still managed to pin point ovulation and af arrived when I expected it to.

But today I'm seeing small amounts of ewcm type cm, it's not exactly the same. I'm wondering if I didn't actually ovulate at all this cycle.... So confused right now. What do you think I should do?

HGmama, my DH thinks it's hilarious if I tell him to go masturbate (we live separately most of the time) he says most women hate the idea [emoji23]

Thunderstruck it's impossible to know if those are post o temps or not with no pre o temps available (will be handy for next cycle comparison though [emoji3]). However there does seem to be a steady decline in your temp which *may* be a sign of impending af. And it would just be like the ttc gods to throw some ewcm in this late in your cycle just to add to the confusion [emoji23] It's always straightforward until it needs to be right? [emoji12]

Yeah exactly! I knew these temps weren't really any good for an indication on which way this cycle is going. But you're right it's definitely on the decline. Since you're a charting expert do you think those temps are rather low? Lowest one there was 35.9 °C (96.6)? I guess again it'll be a matter of getting a decent thermometer and charting a few cycles

Thunderstruck you'll get a good enough idea using a standard thermometer if you don't want to go down the road of a bbt (although I personally liked the 2 decimal point accuracy [emoji85]) And it's winter now (I'm also in Aus) and that's actually where my temps would go as low as from memory (the high 35's) you'll find as the weather warms up your basal temp will increase with it [emoji4]

Oooh Pbn3 that's good to know... if I can't find the bbt thermometer by the time af is here I won't stress too much, I'm all about trying not to stress. Nice to meet a fellow Aussie! I'm in Tassie so it's definitely winter here [emoji23]

Wowsers winter for you alright! I'm in Queensland so anything below 20 feels like freezing to me [emoji23]

I love Tasmania!! Went there with a friend in Jan 2013 for a week and cannot wait to go back to see more! Some of the most beautiful scenery and beaches I've ever seen [emoji7]

Ooh you live in Tassie! We are so tempted to pack up & move down there. But I wonder how I’d cope with the cold! It is so beautiful [emoji7] but then we love Qld too Pbn. We’re in NSW
We are dreaming of a simpler life where hubby doesn’t spend 4 hours a day commuting on top of his long days in the office

Tassie is great, people are generally really friendly and it takes just over 4 hours to drive from one end of the state to another! [emoji23] much simpler at times in every aspect of the word, good place to bring up kids I think. Just move during the summer time and you'll adjust. We were in Sydney during January, when the temperature said 30s to us it felt more like mid 20s because here we have a dry burning heat, rather harsh.

I love knowing there's a couple of Australians amongst us

Emshe going to see Newcastle and the Hunter Valley (to visit the wineries [emoji12]) will probably be me and dh's first holiday together since our honeymoon [emoji23] few years away yet but maybe when Mara is 5 and nanny can come and stay for a few days [emoji6]
