New Member - Questions about Long Cycles, Plus IUD's and Charting

Hi there! I was directed here from iud_divas. I've had my copper (non-hormonal) IUD for 9 months now, but my cycles have not calmed down as I thought they might. I started charting a few months ago to see if I could find a pattern in any of this... and well... below is what I posted to iud_divas earlier. I'm curious to see if anyone here has any insight.

I have a Paraguard and I'm charting, and despite there being no reason for it not working out for me, it totally isn't.

Apparently I ovulate the day before and the day after I have a period??? WTF??

I wish I could be more helpful, but honestly I'm as confused as you are :/

How do you mean that you ovulate then? That your temps rise around the start of your period, or that you get eggwhite CF around then? Copper IUDs can cause extra eggwhite, I've been told, and some women do get higher temps around the start of their periods, I do.

My temps stay pretty much constant and I have EW CF for like 4-5 days before and after my period.

That's not ovulation, that's the IUD causing extra EW, it's quite common.
