1st postBCP cycle is whacked! Just a vent here, I guess.
So as I mentioned previously, this is my first cycle off BCP and it is all over the place. I'm on day 34 today. I had a couple days of EWCM, but had a negative LH test. Also had negative LH and pg tests on day 31. Morning temp has varied, I temp when I wake up but that time varies as I get up at 4am for work but sleep much later on the weekend. No signs, symptoms, or any indications AF is on her way. I didn't start charting quite on day 1 and have added temping midcycle so I'm anxious to get past AF so I can start the next cycle being more thorough.

Best of luck with your next cycle. It takes a bit of time and understanding to get the hang of the TTC stuff.
Consistency will be what you should aim for with tempting. I know it sound harsh, but set your alarm for 4am on the weekends, too. You can go back to sleep, right? If not, well....that might be a problem. Maybe, ask your OB/GYN or RE what they think....just to give you some helpful hints.
Are you using Fertility Friend? If not, they are a good resource to use.
Hope it all works out and that your body gets back on cycle!
I was going to say exactly what Jac said, you need to be consistant in time to get a good result. I set my alarm for 6, pop the thermometer in my mouth it beeps I fall back asleep for an hour or several
mine has a short memory so I can look at it later.
Go for consistancy and good luck!!!

Also remember that since you are just getting off the BCP your cycle will most likely be off. Your body has to get use to not having the hormones going though it as it did with the BCP.
Good Luck!
I took my temp this morning and left the thermometer on so I can see what it says later in the day; it turned off after several minutes but this morning's temp showed up after I turned it on 14 hours later, so I will start setting my alarm for non-work days and do a quick test. Nice that I can look at it later, otherwise I honestly would probably not want to do it if I had to open my eyes at 4am!
I'm trying to be patient, I'm using an OPK about every other day and they're always stark negative, not even a hit of a faint test line. Since I have no idea what's going on in there, I don't want to use up a bunch of strips. I'm going to keep temping daily to keep in the habit of it, and hope AF comes and resets everything so I can start with a brand new cycle right at CD1.
Thanks again, laides!

I'm confused by your ticker, it says HPT+ on CD36?
