I keep staring at my chart

For those on phones, here's my chart link:  https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/523125

I really thought I had a clue this cycle.  I had fertile CM for several days, and BD corresponded with that.  Then when CD22 temp spiked I assumed I O'd on CD 21.  So we BD'd one more time, thinking that was it for this cycle.  Now look at my next two days temp... 

I'll note that I've never had a positive OPK test.  

Does this look like it's the start of an anovulatory cycle, or is there hope that I'll get another round of fertile CM and then a legit temp shift?

Of course there is hope you'll get another round of fertile cm and temp shift.  I know it is frustrating, I've had late Ovulation and it is very wearisome!  Just keep temping and sexing!  Best wishes

I know it is really frustrating when your body fakes you out like that.  It is certainly still possible that you will get a temp shift and ovulate.  Good luck!

Well, you didn't O until day 39 last cycle and you are only on day 24. How long are your cycles generally?

@mereditecarole, I know so this month I was expecting the same thing - late O.  I'm ok with Late O (well, I mean it's not ideal but as long as I actually O, I'll take what I can get).  This is just my second cycle - prior, I was on Loestrin for a hundred years so there was no AF.  So I know I'm not regular, but I was just trying to really track my CM more this cycle (read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" cover to cover) and I thought I totally zoned in on fertile CM - So I gave DH the warning of impending BD days, and as you can see we made that happen.  then when my temp spiked (early, i guess) I thought, OK we'll BD once more, then that should do it for this cycle and maybe my cycle is getting more regular (shorter than FORTY NINE DAYS).  This cycle's temps are so bizarre, so rocky.  last cycle I didn't start temping until CD19 so I don't have much to compare the first part of my cycle to.  Anyway - maybe that's just it.  Maybe I'll get another round of fertile CM and take it from there, and O around day 39 like last month (you'll see last month i totally missed O due to incorrect data I put into FF - and have since removed).

I don't do it, but I've heard people here and on 3T recommend vaginal temping for people who seem to have the "Rocky Mountain" look to their chart.  If this cycle doesn't work or you can't pinpoint O, you might consider that.

Good luck!

I would just keep BDing and try to more or less hit every other day until you get crosshairs.
