Slow rise after estrogen surge? Anovulatory? Late ovulation?

Sep 13, 2015 15:46

So my chart is giving me all sorts of issues this cycle. Since I'm inconsistent with CM and CP checks, that doesn't help anyone, but I was hoping I could get some feedback from you all. I've asked in several other groups and sites I'm on and I either get no feedback, or people just saying "yeah, that looks weird. Sorry, no idea what could be going ( Read more... )

Not sure what you mean by TTW ... it's been a long time since I used all the acronyms!

Could it be an implantation dip? Where are you today in your cycle? If you haven't yet, I'd POAS (you can get them at the dollar store and they're accurate) if for nothing else than peace of mind.

If the test is negative, absolutely chalk it up to bodies doing weird things!

Oh, did the weather change for you right around your temp drop? I know that sometimes affects my BBT.

TTW = trying to wait. A baby now wouldn't be the worst (it would just make wedding planning a bit more interesting since our date is May 2016 ( ... )

Looking at your new chart, it looks like you got the result you wanted! :D

And, just for kicks and giggles ... I POAS when I was 3 days late thinking I would "scare" my period in to starting. 39 and pregnant is my answer!

Since you're TTA, you probably don't want to go through the bother, but have you considered OPKs? Looking at this chart and the last one that shows up when I click through to see your chart, it looks like that post-O dip in temp isn't too weird for you, but I'd say it's entirely possible that this cycle is anovulatory.

I had a chart where it looked like I ovulated, temps stayed elevated for a week, and then they plummeted and that cycle went on for nearly three more weeks. That was when I had PCOS though, so that probably had a lot to do with it.

So maybe not helpful, but it looks anovulatory to me. I'd be tempted to just pick up some cheapie OPKs from amazon to confirm that your cycle is doing what you think it is, but if this is the first time it's been so weird, maybe it's the only time and it'll never happen again!

Well, last cycle my chart was a bust because I was in 3 different time zones and five states in one month, haha! I feel like I ovulated for sure last cycle though. My CM, CP, and libido all corresponded with it (even though it's not marked -- I kept commenting on how eggwhitey my CM was, haha ( ... )
