Been doing this for about 6 months, but still a bit confused...
Dear Internet Experts:
This is, unfortunately, an approximation of my actual chart. I use paper charts, and did not bring it to work with me. It's 90% accurate, though. (I can update tonight, if necessary.) Updated now. Ignore the fact that it's FF -- I just did it so I had a graph to show you.
So, I thought I had clearly identified ovulation around day 12 (though I was sick had did have a fever days 14 and 15), and as such, I had unprotected sex with my partner on 16. Then the temperatures went up again.
This is what's going through my head:
Did I miscalculate the O? Did I actually ovulate on day 17, with the actual temperature spike on day 18? (The temps were really low days 7-12, but days 13-17 were just like the first part of the cycle) It's not what the mucus pattern shows, but the mucus could have been obscured by semen being mixed with it. There seemed to be a lot of semen leaking.
Am I pregnant? I had sex with condoms and withdrawl earlier in the cycle -- between days 4 and 9. Is the temperature rehike (7/10ths of a degree higher!) a result of an achieved pregnancy? We did add thick socks and extra blankets to the sleeping arrangement.
Maybe everything is normal? I usually get diarrhea right around my period. It is, from this chart, due about 10 days after ovulation. I got some poops on day 18, even though I wouldn't expect my period until day 23.
We're officially TTA at the moment, though it would not be the end of the world if we did unintentionally conceive. So, really, either way would be fine. I'm just trying not to get things get to me.
