Anyone gotten pregnant with NO cm?

Thank you, I'd love for you to take a look for me! This is the first time I've tried to post a link to my chart, so I hope it works lol.

Boy, hard to say. The OPK make me think you would actually have Oed SOONER, not later. How sure are you that it was a true positive that first day? Was the line as dark as or darker than the control??

What happened on the day where you didn't have a reliable temp? (FF has it listed as the day after O)

On CD 19, the first test I took was almost positive, but I couldn't be sure. Then I took one later in the day that was for sure positive. It was positive through CD 21 in the afternoon, then faded a bit that night. I was attempting O+12, and I had pretty severe abdominal pains at about 4pm on CD 20, and I had remembered reading on IG that O can happen around the same time AF started, which was about 4:30 on CD 1. So, I woke up at 4am on CD 21 to do my lime douch the hour before attempt, and I usually temp at 5am, so I went ahead and did it then... hope that all made sense lol.

Ok then that makes more sense. It doesn't matter how long it was positive, you'll ovulate between 8-48 hours after the first positive (exception - a false positive)

I would not put ANY stock whatsoever into the whole "you ovulate when you start your period" thing. You ovulate when your hormones trigger ovulation and hormones also govern AF. It's VERY easy to make AF come a little early, people do it all the time, by taking a blood thinner like aspirin or having intercourse. your body doesn't know or remember what time of day you ovulated or got AF at.

Yes, getting up early, making a lime douche, etc will def. make that day's temp unreliable!!

So it's possible FF has my ovulation a day early? And the day of our attempt, I did make sure to take my temp before even getting up still. How much difference does an hour actually make? I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my chart and explain this stuff to me

I thought I was pretty good with the whole TTC thing, then I found this site and have learned SO much more!

Ok so I just started spotting. On to next month! So after reading through tons and tons of threads, I think this will be my plan: LE diet, low glucose, abstain, one attempt at +opk, I'm gonna test out RepHresh and hopefully use leading up to, and after dtd, aspartame, DH cranberry supps., of course bbt, and still testing pH. I think I covered everything I planned out in my head... But I have one last question for now. I have an irregular cycle. I should ovulate between July 9th and 13th, and luckily DH will be home during that time. However, I see that Vitex is highly recommended. I know it's a little late to be asking/testing it out, but would it be worth it? DH comes home I believe on July 8th and leaves again on the 13th, so right now we should have good timing. I'm just not sure how likely the Vitex would throw that off... I should be getting the Dream Membership ASAP too, so I'm pretty excited about that!

Yes, FF could have ovulation a day early. I think the OPKs tell the tale, though.

An hour could make a difference or it could make no difference. Everyone is unique and what matters for one person may not matter at all for another.

I don't think you need to use RepHresh after DTD and in fact it may kill off too many sperm. Most of us have had the best luck getting pg using RepHresh no sooner than 8-12 hours before DTD and then nothing after.

Vitex is actually pretty easy to come by, if you ran to a vitamin shop they'd probably have some. If you have to order it online, then it's too late and you should just let it go (because you'd need to take it starting today.) Plus since you need to have timing just right, it's prob best to give it a pass anyway.

Ok I'll get some Rephresh and start using it after AF so my body can adjust to it or whatever it needs to do. I wouldn't be able to get to the store today anyways, so if I don't get pregnant this cycle, I'll take the Vitex next bc DH has leave for a month so we'll have the timing for it! Thanks
