I'm not ovulating this month, am I? I charted for the last few days of my last cycle and my temps were raised and then dropped when AF arrived. However, this month my temps have been consistently low and my cbfm went to 'High', NEVER peaked and has now returned to 'Low' again. Is it possible to ov every other month?

O doesnt always come on any pattern or schedule unfortunately. Don't give up hope for this cycle though, delayed ovulation is common. Ive just O'd on CD27 and dont expect AF till CD41 !

Thanks, Ladies!

Could I still O even though my cbfm has shown Highs and then today I had a low?

No, nothing different with temps...

Interestingly, today my cm is the creamiest it's ever been this cycle and I've been using the internet cheepie opks and the line today is the darkest it's been so far (still not darker than the control line though). Could my cbfm be wrong? I've used the cbfm for the first time this month and I used my 20th stick today....

i think the cbfm needs a few months to get use to youer patten you could be oing any day now good luck

its not always accurate the first month but your temps look like you've not ovulated either, how long ago did you come off of bcp? im on my 13th month ttc and my cycles have been all over the place and still are, this and last month it looks like im gonna ovulate around cd19 but all previous months its been between cd24-27. AF still comes 7 days after ovulation but thats another story ... don't give up yet hun is all im saying, you just might be ovulating late x

It takes a while for the CBFM to get to know you though. I personally use the cheapie OPKs and BBT and the combo work great together. The OPKs are great because they give you warning you are fertile for 3 days, and they are cheap

If i were you i'd keep BD'ing and using the cheapies. I normally O 2 days after my first positive OPK and get the temp rise on the 3rd day.

re the monitor, sometimes our bodies dont let off quite enough LH to ovulate and tries again a few days later. Thats probably why you got a high reading but it never quite peaked.

Have you tried Vit B or Vitex to lengthen your luteal phase? both work wonders, and the progesterone creams work for some women too.

Thank you! Does your CM usually get VERY creamy before ewcm? I am using vit B (50mcg) and Evening Primrose Oil along with all the other pre-natal vits.
