Can This Newbie Get Some Help? I Added MY Chart :)

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I just started charting and am wondering about a couple things. First, it seems as though I may not have ovulated this month. I started charting in the middle of my cycle (see my chart here:http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/i...hp?interface=0). For one thing, I'm not sure if I had the 'eggwhite' CF. I always have a lot of CF (for about 2 weeks out of the month) and it goes from dry, to sticky, to just wet, but I guess I'm having a hard time differentiating between 'creamy' and 'eggwhite'.

Also, my temp this morning at 7am was 97.8, but when I took it again at 9am (after sleeping two more hours) it was only 97.1. When I took it at 7am, I had been woken up 2-3 times in the night, the closet to 7am being around 4:15am. So no 3 hour window today.

Anyway... help a newbie?

Hi!
Go to Tools, Homepage Setup, and then copy/paste your chart link.

Took me a minute of looking to realize the link you posted gave me my own chart!

I would also use the first temp you took, not the 2nd at 9 am. Temping more than once is so tempting (ha) but just stick with the first one. Sleeping from 4:15 or so til 7 would be good enough for me. You could always mark off sleep deprived or put a note so you can go back later to see if it makes more sense.

I agree with Carrie that temping again after waking and then sleeping for additional 2 hours isn't as accurate as the earlier but sleep deprived temp. When you wake up and temp...step away from the thermometer! lol
And some women never get EWCM. i have had lots of months that only progress to watery and still O. Egg white is more ...for lack of a better term...snotty. Stretchy and not creamy like lotion.
After you get a couple charts under your belt, you will hopefully see a clearer pattern for you. it is great to get to know your body on such a different level - i love it!
Good luck!

My Ovulation Chart

Ok, maybe now it will work!

I should note that on Wednesday, I'm pretty sure I forgot to temp (can't remember, was so tired) but when I tried to remember what my temp may have been, 97.4 came to mind for some reason. So that's what I used, but I could be wrong

Hmm, looks right to me, that you O'd on CD 15?
