I'm not going to lie. I thought charting was nuts. I've been lurking for awhile trying to find answers to my stupid questions before actually asking them. Andy yes I LWI (lurked while intoxicated). All answers seemed to go the general, "are you charting? How can you know if your not charting?" route much to my annoyance. Well, 33 days into a cycle and three BFNs later I started temping--just to see. It couldn't hurt

. Low and behold I didn't O until day 36 with a huge temperature shift on day 37...you were all right. So I'm outing myself in thanks to all the snark-casm towards non-charters which I've come to love. It helps keep the ttc crazy in me in-check. cheers.
Re: You were right...
I'd like to get this framed.
Seriously though. While everyone may not chart, it's good not only for self ute-tilization (groan) - but really the only vehicle we have to help each other past guessing.
Welcome and GL. I only LWI when I am too drunk to BWI.
wow, you started temping at day 33 and could tell you O'd at day 36?! man, i don't think i would have been able to tell that during my first month (or 2 or 3) of charting.
charting does help though! good luck!
I am fully aware (now) that it could still be an anovulatory cycle but my temps have been consistantly up for a few days. No I'm not on day 37 today. And my CM was pretty indicitive of the O-deal goin down. I'm three cycles off BCP. but the last two were pretty normal. so Its all messed up. I'm not holding my breath on any of it. watch and learn right?
sure! let me figure this out.
