New with cycle questions

Hi There,

My husband and I are TTC for # 1 and I'm really confused on how to pinpoint my ovulation date.  As you can see my cycles are all over the place, (you can see below) and I never seem to get any ewcm to indicate that I'm about to ovulate.  I purchased a fertility monitor (ovacue) and used it last month with no success.  It asks for an average cycle length but I'm not sure what to use.  I've seen my MD and had labs done which all came back normal.  She believes that I have anovulation so I only ovulate every other month...I know it's confusing just reading this...Does anyone have any ideas or tips for me?  Thanks in advance :-)

    Are you charting your basal body temperature?  It's a good way to pinpoint your ovulation day.  Do it in conjunction with your OPKs though, since a bbt chart is only really good for telling you when you did ovulate, not for predicting when you will.

    Buy a copy of Taking Charge of your Fertility and/or sign up for the tutorial on fertilityfriend.com. Both very helpful.
