Stupid Q for beginner

in TTC after 35

Hi Ladies!!

this is my first month off of BC.  Prior to going on harmones, I was pretty regular 28-day cycle and I am hoping that after 7 years my body will go back into sync.

According to a fertility calculator, my fertile days this month are the 18-21.  I am running a mild temp of 99.3 and my mucus is thinning.  Ummm, could this be a sign that I beginning to ovulate??

    Regular cycles mean very little in the ttc game. And to be honest - fertility/ovulation calculations are useless.

    The only way to figure out when you o is to track basel body temps (and backing that up with OPK or a CBEFM helps).

    www.fertilityfriend.com and read Taking Charge of your Fertility. Both very useful tools.

    If your CM is stretchy that might mean ovulation - but again without any bb temps it is impossible to know.

    GL!

    Thanks so much for your explanation.

    I have just recieved the book Taking Charge of your Fertility from a friend, but haven't gotten to read too much of it because of working such late hours lately.

    I was told by my dr in my 20's that I ovulated every cycle due to 3 internal US I had to track my ovarian cysts.  Seems we happen to catch it every time.  I just hope those darn overies behave and still act "young" LOL

    Hi and good luck!

    Cat already gave you the advice I would have given.

    She's absolutely right about being regular not meaning a dang thing. My cycle runs like clock work, and yet I have high FSH, which indicates low ovarian reserve. (still waiting on the second set of blood tests which will tell us more).
