What do you think? (chartish question)

[Rainy229]

It's times like these when I really wish I used online charts, and not my paper ones. :-P

So, DH and I are TTC#1, I have PCOS, and am on Metformin and Synthroid (subclinical hypothyroidism); I did 60mg soy iso. CD 3-7 this month (2nd attempt with soy, the first one yielded a textbook normal, ovulatory cycle). My temps looked fine, averaging 97.65 from menses to EWCM CM. My CP started changing the 4th day of lotion CM, to soft and open the two days I had EWCM. The, what would have been, 3rd day EWCM was dry, cervix was firm and closed, and no temp spike (there was a dip on day 1 of EWCM). It is now what, judging by CM and CP alone, I would consider 3DPO, and NO temp spike. Still averaging 97.65.

My thoughts: There's been a bit of stress in my life, did my body just get ready and then back off? I did what I did before I started met and have another anovulatory cycle (but the old ones didn't have any change in CM or CP)?

Your thoughts?

Thanks!

CM and Cp are really only secondary to temperatures so if there is no sustained shift, I would say no O yet, but doesn't mean there still won't be. You could've geared up and not, but could still gear up again.
When you say average temp, it isn't the exact same temp or anything right? 9could be therm error if so)
Good luck!

HulaJenn - Thanks! by average, I mean that my bbt is generally within 0.1 of 97.65 in the morning, so it's not a therm thing :-(

I'd agree that you probably haven't O'ed yet this cycle. I've seen numerous charts that looked like they geared up once, then backed off, then got ready and O'ed later in the cycle. So don't count yourself out yet!

Thanks, ladies! I'm really hoping that stress just delayed ovulation... I'm tired of a pointless 2ww, iykwim!
