Will you forgive me if I ask for chart help?

I already posted on botb, but if some of you chart experts wouldn't mind looking at my chart, I'd be grateful.

If it weren't for my temps, I'd say I ovulated on cd17 (and was really deflated by the low temp on cd18).  No fertility signs since then.  The coverline FF has established is well below my normal coverline, and my temps are on the low end of normal for me.  Usually there is a clear thermal shift, so I'm feeling baffled by this.

Frankly, I'm ready to quit having sex (we are 1-2 x a week people, and 7x in 8 days is more than enough for the month, as far as I'm concerned), but I don't want to miss the chance of a late ovulation.

I adjusted to FAM and no O.  If I add higher (97.4+) temps for the next two days, then FAM gives me ovulation on cd19.  If I leave those temps and discard the temp on cd18 (which is noted as being extra cold in the room and woke up with no blankets), then Advanced puts ovulation on cd16.

Sorry if this qualifies me for douche-hood, but I'm confused and need help.

Hmm thats a toughie.  Could be a slow rise pattern and FF is correct, could be a fall back rise with O on CD 16 or could show no o yet.  I am baffled.

At this point I would say it's safe to say you have O'd.  If you've woken up cold the past few days, then that explains the lower temps.  Whether you O'd on cds 14-20, you're covered.  Actually pinpointing O might be difficult right now and not knowing how many dpo you are will be frustrating, but there's nothing you can do about that.

Stop taking the green tea

good luck sweetie

Easjer worried she might be douchehead? Silly girl.

Ok, no more green tea (I'm out of honey anyway!).  This is going to kill my early POAS fantasies, isn't it?

Thanks for the help, y'all.

that is a tough one. 

I do agree that the coverline is way too low.  Seriously, Only 3 temps under it?   Whats the point of a coverline if all the temps are over?

You would never believe I have charted for 6 years.  

Still the only charts that looked at all like this were anovulatory or absurdly late ovulation, due to stress- which is still a possibility.  Which would suck.

Definitely keep checking cm and if it's fertile, well, you know what to do.

Tie my husband down, because he's as tired of sex as I am?

 

Ooooooh, wait.  That might work.

*makes mental note to find the handcuffs, since that's about the only thing left in the goody box that hasn't been put to use yet*

Good thinking, p!
