Just curious

It's me again, with another question. For those who don't remember, I've done away with my HBC, and this is my first month off of it. I've been charting my temperatures for this month off of HBC (only temperatures; I wanted to wait to start tracking CM and other fertility signs til next month), and according to Fertility Friend, and my own

When we started charting we took a NFP class and they recommended you use protection for the first 3 cycles as you become familiar with your cycles.

Well, I've charted in the past before HBC, and this chart seems to mirror my previous ones, but of course, this could just be a fluke. Thanks for your input. :)

I don't agree with the CL but would feel ok with confirming O with two more high temps. But if avoiding, I'd still use condoms for three months.

Altogether I have 5 temps above my coverline at this point. Either my body is still adjusting to coming off HBC, or I have ovulated, or some combination of the two. Really hope it doesn't mean I'm pregnant (temperatures are only supposed to remain high for a couple days, right, if there's no pregnancy?), since we've been using condoms since I came off HBC. ^^;

I ovulated pretty quickly when I came off HBC so I don't think it's unreasonable that you might have ovulated quickly too. But in my case there was a clear jump, whereas yours is a bit up and down. I also found that the pill continued to mess with my CM for about six weeks afterward, so I wouldn't want to rely on it as a signal at the present moment. I'd stick with condoms or abstain until things settle a bit

Phew. Thanks for the reassurance. Yeah, I have noticed a drastic change in my CM since coming off birth control. My body is like "here! Have ALL the CM!" It's a bit gross actually. ^^;
