Trouble TTC
TTC & Inconsistent menstrual cycles???
My cycles can range anywhere between 28 days to 32. This month I got my period on day 36? I have to admit last month was a stressful and I think it took a toll on my body. Deep down I was hoping I was pregnant but I was getting negative results when testing.
Anyone have wide range cycles like this? How the hek do you know when you ovulate? Way back when TTC baby #1 I used the pee sticks to test for ovulation and then finally bought the OV Watch. I only got to use it once and then we conceived. Now that we are trying for baby #2, I ordered new sensors and have been wearing the watch since October. It reads that I am fertile the 12th of each month so far. With my cycles beig so off, how can that be consistent? I just don't believe it.
So what are you girls doing to keep track. Any tips?

I don't think that 28 to 32 days cycles is inconsistent or that 1 36 day cycle is out of the ordinary.

That's not that abnormal of a range. Stress can delay ovulation so there you go. OPKs can predict when you may ovulate but only temping can confirm that you actually do ovulate. Check out www.fertilityfriend.com for more on charting.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!

Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
The OVwatch can only tell you when you "might" be ovulating. It does not confirm ovulation.
Check out Taking Charge of Your Fertility or fertilityfriend.com to learn about your cycle and what is considered "normal" There are other ways of pinpointing ovulation

Maybe I'm being naive but I thought FF was just being helpful, not implying that we weren't.
I think it was the "elementary" word that threw me off, like we were too TTC snobby to answer the question, but I guess I just think the worst of AE's. You're probably right, and I'm being a little sensitive this afternoon...
