Should I be peeing on a stick?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
First PPAF: Feb 21, cycle lasted 39 days
Next: April 1, lasted 30 days
Next: May 1, hasn't ended yet

here's my chart

I know it's only a day late if I go by last month's numbers, and not due for another 3 days if I go by the average length of the two cycles. But before DD, my cycles were usually much shorter. I thought AF was due anytime so when I missed a day or two of temping, I figured I'd just wait for the next cycle. Could those temps have info I need? I don't even feel like AF is coming. I've had lots of energy, no cramps, none of the odd 'am I leaking?' feelings.

I haven't started checking mucous yet, I was going to start that next cycle. Next cycle is when were we going to stop TTA, and we'd probably start really TTC around August or September.

Or maybe after a pregnancy AF's are just weird? Do they get shorter and then longer? I was never super regular before, but my cycles were generally around 21-28 days, with the occasional 6 weeker thrown in for fun.

Should I POAS tomorrow?

Your chart didn't show up, can you post the link again?
post #3 of 7
yes - please post your chart

For myself - my first PP cycle was 72 days
32 days
37 days (annovulatory)
42 days
50 days (waiting for my period in the next few days)

I have never been really regular though

Whoops! There's the link.

If your PPAFs were wonky then maybe this is just part of getting things going again. I'm not sure if I've ovulated during any of these cycles. My nipples hurt like crazy, I feel mucousy down there and then I bleed a couple weeks later. But, I'm not seeing distinct temp changes on my chart.

Then again, I was sick this cycle, so maybe that threw everything off.

Oh, and FF told me that I O'ed on day 8 and then retracted the information. So we've been DTD unprotected since maybe day 12 or so. Luckily, we were too busy to have sex very often.

If I were preg, I'd be due right around the time my husband has to take a MAJOR test for his grad school program. *sigh*

That is some chart!

You said you were sick? Is that the super high temps? If you are EVER sick and think you are running a temp you need to disregard those temps - because they are in error.(so that way FF doesn't keep you false crosshairs like it did)

Looking at your chart I am not convinced at ALL that you O'd. With the missing temps I can't say forsure, but I would be careful the rest of this cycle.

I didn't O until day 39 or 40 this last cycle - so its never to late!

Good luck - keep us posted

Af is here. Very light, very slow, but here. I suppose I was silly to think that my cycles would make sense after PP. Oh well!

Yeah, looking at your chart, it looks like you didn't ovulate - but hard to say for absolute sure. I didn't ovulate until my second PPAF and I only had a 5 day LP that time but it did get longer and was up to 12 days long by my 8th PPAF.
