I put a link to my fertility friend chart up on the side of my blog. That way if any bored souls who read this feel like commenting on my neurotic ramblings of chart interpretation,they can check it out.
I am so confused this cycle. It is my 3rd cycle with CBEFM (clear blue easy fertility monitor). I guess I got a little cocky, thinking how great that dumb machine is, because I had peak readings my first time using it (which not a lot of people get). Second time using it my number of high days was cut down, I had peaks, and that is when I got my BFP! YAY it worked, I got pregnant using the monitor. OK so the pregnancy didn't work out- but the timing was right and that is what the monitor is for.
So now, 1st cycle post miscarriage, I have not had a peak. I am on my 10th high day in a row. My temperature did show a noticeable shift, but it is also coming down. Did I ovulate? Did I not ovulate? And if I did ovulate was it actually on CD15 as FF wants me to believe, b/c I think it was CD14. I am doing everything I can to help myself be knowledgeable, and now I end up more confused then ever.
If I did ovulate, wouldn't I be getting lows on my CBEFM now? Or will it keep giving me highs because it is a dumb machine and is not aware of my temp shift and is waiting for the peaks that won't be there to come... Or did I not ovulate yet and should I keep peeing on these damn expensive test sticks.
I think the downfall was my thermometer breaking. It broke on CD13. I have no temp for that day. If I insert temps that fall in place with the chart it will either move my crosshairs to cd13 or keep them at 15.
Now my temps are dropping, it seems to early for them to be dropping b/c I am not pg, so maybe I didn't o. Maybe I did
And I can't help but stare at my chart and wonder if sex on CD 10 evening, CD 12 evening, and CD 15 morning.. is enough to make this cycle plausible...
AGHHHHHH Makes me want to rip my hair out- now I am in just wait and see, and I feel a little better for typing out my confusion. I will post later with non ttc updates on my weekend :)
FURTHER NEWS ON MY CHART- so i was on the nest (go figure), went to go to the bathroom, and you know what- crazy EWCM (and I have never noticed more than a little, and this was a respectable amount).... So when I peed I took an opk and guess what- Smiley face- + OPK.
This made me question whether I o'd or not... Fortunately in FF I kept notes about temp taking. I wake up a lot in the middle of the night- for instance last night I temped at 12:30, 3:30 and 7ish... I just temp when i wake up and then peek at the clock. So I noted down the temps I took (not the 12:30 one since I went to bed only an hour before). I was guilty of kind of going with the temps that fit my chart... but I think going with my other temps suits better. Note to self- solve this multiple temping problem to save your sanity.
So now my chart has 2 random high temps... one of which was after a big night of drinking (happy 4th of july) so maybe I really didn't O.
Now I am upset I have not been having sex the past 3 days... so we are going to cram it in the next few. Wish us luck!
