I need help.. Another charting Q & a screwed up sway!

[black&gold]

Well DH didn't get home until after 3:30am! So needless to say any sort of hurry up FR or BD did not happen seeing as how we'd be up at 6:30am with the kids! I took an OPK at 7:15am because I had previously peed at 3am and it was negative. I also checked CP and from what I could tell (have only been doing this the last few days) it was High, firmer than before, and closed. My temp also stayed up this morning - however, my night was so messed up in that I was laying awake in bed from 2am-5am because I couldn't sleep, but I still temped at the usual 7am.

Here's my FF chart. I'm thinking of calling it quits? Or should I still be using OPK's?

My Ovulation Chart

I don't think you've O'd yet...keep using the OPKs.

Still negative - there's a line, but it's not as dark as the control - it's been that way for 4 days now. I'm on CD18 of my usual 28day cycle... Does charting ever not show due to weird sleep patterns? I've had all the usual signs - EWCM, cramping, High soft open cervix (yesterday - closed today)... it's just the darn chart screwing with everything!

Ideally you want to take your temp after your longest period of sleep, every morning before rising - and yes I have heard that lack of sleep can mess it up a bit. How long is your cycle usually?

Yah, my temp today was after max 2 hrs of sleep and same with the day before. I always have 28, 29 day cycles and the longest I've ever had was 31 days which was after I stopped BFing. So I have never missed O that I'm aware of and always have clockwork cycles.

It could be wonky temps. Or maybe an anovulatory cycle?

[atomic sagebrush]

I don't think you have ovulated yet

everyone is giving such fab advice I am obsolete!! thanks ladies

[black&gold]

I hope its not an anovulatory cycle! Don't think I've ever had one of those before. My body was definitely trying to do something yesterday and the day before with all the cramping.. I guess I'll have to wait and see what my temp brings tomorrow morning and what the OPK's say. Still no full positive - just a line that's lighter

Is it lighter than the one yoiu took Monday?

I will be super curious if you get pregnant this month.

I would say similar...but the one I did around 5pm tonight was super light (it seems that I only get any decent readings on my second morning urine)

DH released around 2 today and we are going to BD tonight if possible so that we cover our ground... I highly doubt anything will happen this month
