**Newbie Playdate**

Re: **Newbie Playdate**
You have a lot of open circles and 3 missing temps on days that would have been fairly important in order to confirm ovulation. Can I also ask if you are a mouth breather by any chance? You have quite the wild temperatures going on.
In order to delete the first post you have to log in again under that name and then delete it.
If you google "Gluehwein" and your zip code, it should come up with a few links of stores that have it in your area. It really is delicious.
In Germany you usually drink it when you are outside at the Christmas market with your friends, it's freezing cold and you need something to warm you up. Ah, memories.
Mouth breather when I take my temperature? I normally breath through my nose. But I do know that I sleep with my mouth opened lol.
I have noticed my temps are very crazy so I thought I may be doing something wrong, although I thought taking my temp would be simple enough. So then I read through the instructions a few times and I think I'm doing it correctly.
So what happened with my missing temp days, is after FF did the line for ovulation I only took my temp for a day or 2 after because I realized temping was driving me nuts...but then I grew curious again so I've been taking my temp randomly. This all sounds crazy I know
...I guess I'm on the fence when it comes to temping during the 2WW. While I know it will provide me valuable info it also adds stress.
Of course you can join!
I looked at your chart...why the open circles? Sleep deprived or different temp time? The CM you describe does sound like watery to me, as long as it is clear. This is also considered fertile CM, so that is a good start. Unfortunately you can have fertile CM without ovulation following immediately, check out my previous charts. So my answer would be: It is possible that you are about to ovulate, but it is also possible that you are not. Keep taking your temperatures (best and most accurate at the same time every morning after 3 consecutive hours of sleep) and see what the next few days will bring! Good luck!
I think I may have open circles bc I have temped a bit late since being off work. But my temperature pretty much stays in the same vicinity. So you think I may O this month? The doctor said not at all, but getting AF last month may mean I Oed, so I am staying positive. Although you can have AF w/out Oing.
Mouth breathers often get erratic temperatures like your chart is showing, that is why I am asking. You might want to consider taking your temperatures vaginally for more accuracy, there are quite a few ladies here on the board who do that.
I agree with taking a break during your 2 ww. If you have a next cycle (and I hope you get your BFP instead), I would keep temping until 7 or 8 DPO, just to make sure that the CH's won't get moved and maybe even see a clear pattern. Good luck!
This is what I found on FF:

Unless you are traveling right around the time of ovulation, you should still be able to discern your pattern. When BBT is less reliable because of such a special circumstance, pay extra close attention to your other fertility signs to avoid missing a potential fertile opportunity.
My personal opinion is that the 30 minutes shouldn't have too much of an impact. And while the one hour is not optimal, especially not right at o time, I would take it for now and see what the next couple of days show. I hope your temp keeps rising and you get a clear temp shift, even with the open circles!
Thank you
