Evap line with Answer brand pregnacy test?

[LacePrincess]

Hi Nachelle, thanks for posting your chart!

Okay, you definitely haven't ovulated on that chart. I don't agree with even the 'maybe' dotted line crosshairs FF gave you, that's not an ovulatory chart yet. And I don't like how you have so many open dots either, usually that means you're temping more than 30 min outside of your default time. Bbt gets really inaccurate if you're not doing it consistently at the exact same time with a good night's sleep.

Keep an eye on your signs, you might still O yet. At this point you for sure haven't, those big sawtooth swings are characteristic of anov cycles. Not much you can do but wait it out, if you go to CD60 with no AF or BFP you should see your doc for a prog trigger shot to bring on AF and get the cycle over with.

[Nachelle]

This sucks! Well the open dots are the more accurate tempts they are taken at the same time every day and the dark blue ones are the messed up ones. Why is my tempt so high now if I havent ovulated yet? I thought maybe I did on CD 34
Can progesterone prevent you from ovulating and getting AF?

[LacePrincess]

Yeah see, you can't change when you temp by that much time mid cycle. It really makes the entire month's chart almost impossible to interpret, because in an hour your bbt can swing by quite a bit. And bbt is a matter of small precision, accuracy counts.

That one dip on CD34 was not followed by a clear and sustained thermal shift. In order for your bbt to indicate ovulation, all your post O temps need to be consistently above the pre-O temps. You can see how you don't have a clear biphasic shift, you have huge swings below and back up. If anything, I would say you *might* have ovulated on CD41 but it remains to be seen if you get a clear biphasic shift. Honestly, it's hard to tell because you have such vastly different temping times across so many days.

Do you know which detector tuning you have FF set on? It usually defaults to advanced, but sometimes going back to the traditional FAM method can be more accurate.

[Nachelle]

I dont think I have a tunner on at all. I wish I would have tempt the same time the entire cycle. The first half I would tempt when I would wake up like walk to the bathroom and at diferent times, then I read you to at the same time and while in bed so I started doing it the right way. So the dark bllue dots are totally wrong and should be way llower then what they are.

[Nachelle]

I put it on the fam setting and it changes the date to CD 34. I should tempt tomorrow the right way and then how I was doing it in the begining then see what the difference is. And maybe adjust it?

[LacePrincess]

Hmm. Honestly, we're really just guessing here. Unfortunately changing your temping time mid cycle really makes it impossible to accurately tell what's going on just on temps alone.

How are you at checking your cervix? It's usually pretty accurate for me. If you can tell if it's still open, then it means you have yet to O, usually. A closed, relatively dry cervix is a sign that O has passed. OPK's are something else you can use if you have any.

I dunno, at this point I don't think we can read your chart and we're really just guessing. My suggestion would be just to continue to bd every 2-3 days until you see a really obvious shift or get AF or a bfp, if you really want to conceive this month. Or at the very least bd everytime you observe EWCM.

I agree with Lace - that chart just can't tell us what the dealie-o is with the temp change. I'm sorry. I think if no AF pretty soon, I'd make a doctor's appt. and get a shot to bring on AF. It can be kind of like a "reset" button and then things start moving in the right direction is.

[Nachelle]

I finally started spotting today so I think AF has finally started to show her ugly face! After 48 days! I hope this next cycle wont be like this. What time do you lladies think is a good time to tempt every morning? I think one of the reasons my tempts were out of whack because my 11 month olld still wakes up at night so sometimes I get more sleep than others. Also can progesterone cream or oil delay periods?

I sucked at taking it the same time everyday and I have Ds2 in the bed for
Me so I didn't think it would be accurate. It was very obvious when I ovulated. Temp jumped .5-.7.
But I used the tcoyf software which automatically adjusts it to what time you put in. I don't know if that's accurate but it worked for me and was really the only way I could temp. I do know it was right as I've had early u/s and still now the baby measures exactly right based on when I ovulated.
