I am right there with you with the obvious drop in temp for AF, but O-ing is much more difficult - but I also have PCOS which definitely adds complication.
Just curious - how long have you been temping?
BFP #1 7/31/09 - m/c 8/22/09
BFP #2 4/15/10 - DD born 12/31/10
TTC #2 since July 2012
BFP #3 9/24/12 - m/c 10/15/12
Dx PCOS/LPD 5/2013 - Rx Metformin (1500mg) and GF diet
BFP #4 6/10/13 - CP 6/12/13
8/2013 Rx for low dose Naltrexone
9/2013 DH's SA showed low motility/morph/viability
10/2013 Lap removed multiple areas of scar tissue adhesions and opened blocked tube.
haha, thanks. I'm taking a natural approach and using TCM so what I'm trying may sound strange.
we are still waiting for my husband's herbs to kick in. He's going to do another SA around Dec. for acupuncturist.
The acupuncturist told me at my last appointment that my uterus was cold. Like, literally my lower abdomen is colder than the rest, it was really weird. So I'm going to literally wear more layers and put a heating pad on it.
Anyway, I'm sure it all sounds strange but, the level of one on one personal care with an "eastern doctor" far exceeds the treatment I received at the RE I saw when I saw I him. I live in a small city surrounded by even smaller towns and there really aren't many options for an RE. It is pretty (excuse the language) bumfuck here.
My first month charting. However, I am familiar with it in theory, just not practice. I'm doing it per acupuncturist's instructions. I take it in with me every week when I go.

Booo!! Sorry KC! I should be starting pretty soon too
Do you have a link to your chart? I am an effing charting pro lol If your issue was getting crosshairs, make sure you are putting in all your information (CM, OPKS, CP if you check, etc) sometimes FF just needs some extra information to confirm your O.

I read something about keeping your feet warm when you are trying (wear socks all the time) so your blood will be able to focus more on your uterus: instead of trying to keep your feet warm??? LOL does that sound crazy? Cuz I've been wearing socks to bed everyday this cycle, and I mothereffing hate socks- but I think my uterus is warmer?? lololololol

I'll ask her. She asked if I felt cold in general and I said yeah.
She asked if my abdomen was cold and I said I don't know... :-/
so she felt it, and the my lower abdomen is actually cold to the touch. Since then, I've been feeling my stomach (like an idiot) and it has stayed that way. And our AC is broke! And yet, my stomach area is still cold.
I think there might be something to it. I know it sounds crazy.
Google "cold uterus" I read a lot of interesting stuff on it.

I don't know, I feel compelled to try on our own.
