I am charting at thr mo 1 to try to use for contraception, and 2 so I know my cycles for when we hopefully ttc in about 18 months time.

However they seem very erratic.

Cycle length is alway 28, but Ovualtion day varies from CD 15 to 19

This month fertilty friend initially said day 10, as had massive dip ( not normally this low) followed by peak, temp stayrd staticish for a few days, was expecting peak as per normal but dipped, & ff changed it

this is my chart, any thoughts on what on earth is going on. Thanks.

Not sure myself on your question but wanted to let you know that I moved your thread into the TTC area, I think you'll get a lot more responses here

Good luck! I hope you get a quick BFP when you began TTC

Thanks Vickie, didn't want to "invade" so to speak in ttc as not yet actively ttc. So felt a bit unsure about posting in there.

Completely understandable, the girls there are great though and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to answer your questions

hiya Caroline

Do you take your temps at the same time every morning? If not, that is why FF might not be able to establish a coverline, and an ovulation date for you.

You also seem to have a lot of EWCM - are you perhaps mistaking your cm for this after having sex? I found it very difficult to chart my cm in the beginning, and this also might have implications on your chart.

anyway, im no expert, but just thought I would tell you what i thought!

good luck!

Maybe if your temp goes up tomorrow your OV day could be CD17. Good luck.

Temps taken regularly every morning @ 6.50
Pretty certain it is EWCM, not total expert, but its really thick & stretchy, ( sorry if TMI) and is clear or whitish. First day its stretcy but not lots of it then for several days there is loads, then there is not as much, but still a reasonable amount, today when I thought thee wasn't any, when I went to loo this pm, there was loads again but more creamy in colour.

Won't be mistaken for anything else as at the mo not ttc just tryig to get to grips with fertility sign & charting when we do, so currently not " going to the end" so to speak until 3 days post ov.

I did wonder if the fact that I'm still bf DD2 in an evening & often in a morning is screwing things up a bit. AF only started end of November, and my CD for ovulation has been getting progressively later (well 1st cycle was CD15, then CD 18, then 17, then 19). Its only the post couple of months I haven't had upto 5 days of being really low a week b4 ovulation. Did speak to GP & he said if it hadn't settled I could try progesterone, but he wanted to wait to see if hormones sorted themselves out. ( had 2 weeks off with depression in OCt/Nov)

Sorry for my life history, but its really bugging me, b4 I got pg with DD I always seemed to O around CD 17 according to my 1st response monitor.

I know I should be happy with my lo's but I would like more ( not that I would be upset (ish) as I am blessed with 3 wonderful children but I would like more if we could).

I think it's still too early to say on your chart. I would guess that if tomorrow's temp is also high then you ov'd on cd17. I'm no expert either but I have spent the last hour doing tests on this with FF! You do seem to have an envious amount of ewcm - when you say stretchy, is that more than an inch? Sperm +arousal fluid can stretch quite a bit but only ewcm can really go that extra mile , so to speak! I find it really hard to distinguish sperm and ewcm - If you look at my char (see ticker) I only have one day of ewcm but as we had quite of a lot of BD I put any clear stuff down to sperm, because it wasn't that stretchy (sorry TMI!!!!) xxx

Well def higher temp this am, & got lines, ff reckons I CD 19 for O

I defo get loads of CM, & looking @ O day its norm a week before. Its defo stretchy more some days than others.

Tuesday night I though my SPD was back with avengence, I was crippled my hip was bad both @ the back & front, kinda underneath the bone. Went to bed early on strong painkillers. Now wonder if it was O pain.

Good luck for this month girls. Sending you all lots of

I wonder if the breastfeeding makes a difference? Breastfeeding is supposed to suppress ovulation, so may be (and I am totally guessing here!) because you are only partially breastfeeding you body is gearing up to Ov and you get the ewcm, but then, you go and breastfeed that evening and the Ov is suppressed, and may be that just keeps on going on?!!! How long have you been bf only eves? (I dried up pretty quickly after I tried to cut down) and how old is dd2?
