What day did I ovulate?

[LuuIntyre]

Hi everyone! 

My partner and I are TTC using a known donor.  I have PCOS and I've been trying to ovulate for about a year and this month it has happened! Definitively.  I'm just not sure which date.  When I set Fertility Friend to Fertility Awareness method it tells me that I ovulated on Day 16, which is what I had originally thought and what my acupuncturist thought as well.  I tried on Monday a well because I just wasn't positive and my EWCM was throwing me off. I've been treating CD16 as O day and looking at that second temp rise as a triphasic shift.  However, today, just because I'm compulsive and the TWW kills me I switched my charts to the FF Advanced method and it changed my O date completely to day 19.  This is in line with my EWCM but I just am not sure what to think.  Either way I got at least one try in so I hope I'm in the running but we'll see. Any insight you alll have would be awesome.  Thanks!

I think it could be either 16 or 19.  It's hard to tell with it being a little erratic.  A slight shift in one or two things that may have been inaccurate would push it to one or the other.  I guess that's why the crosshairs are dotted, because it can't quite be confirmed.

It is possible that you are triphasic, but also possible that you are not.  If you can't get a BFP yet then only time will tell.

Do you have any other signs of O? Checking cervix? Ovulation pains?  That's a lot of EWCM.  Could you tell when it was the highest volume/quality?

I always have a looonnggg stretch of EWCM,  I think I had the most on Saturday and Sunday. It was notably a lot.My cervix was high throughout.  Usually goes right up after AF and doesn't come back down until she returns. I'll take an HPT tomorrow or Wednesday.  If it's triphasic it should show up on HPT pretty soon I'm assuming.

It's so hard to guess, I usually think that the best CM is right before O.  The first think I would question after that is what temps are most likely to be right and anything that might have been thrown off. You excluded cd 18, and if cd 17 is definite--well the more definite the more likely you O'd earlier then. 

I am not "actively" charting but I temp and I definitely ovulated on Saturday.  The last two days were my highest temps almost ever ( I've temped for a couple of years.)  Normally my highest temps are 98.1 or 98.2 and usually they even stay under 98.  I've been 98.5 and then 98.4 the past two days.  WOW  So we *might* be at almost the same place in our cycle.  My coverline is usually about where yours is too. But I had just added a heavy wool blanket on my bed and it is SO much warmer that I think it's because of that. 

I'm not really expecting success as we tried for a few years and it seems unlikely.  I would be excited if I wasn't thinking it's so very unlikely for me. 

I hope the best for you and Welcome!

Thanks!  Well fingers crossed for you too.  I try not to get too excited since I am usually disappointed.  Trying to just celebrate the fact that I Oed at all.  I was feeling SO good about this month, but now I'm back to thinking it's probably not happening for us.  Hopefully we'll get another shot soon if its a BFN this month!

It's an emotional roller coaster I know.  There are a few thread around where the ladies get to know each other--you've probably found and read some already.  There are quite a few miracle conceptions around here that happen after a long wait or to women who thought the cards were stacked against them.

Yeah, hoping to get a chaance to explore more.  When I put the 2 excluded temps back in I get CD 19, so I think I'll just assume it's that and I'm not triphasic.  Which stinks because our donor wasn't available over the weekend so we only really got one shot. Thanks for your help!

You have my permission and blessing to have a miracle despite your chart if you can though.
