Chart Stalk?

aim1218 · October 2013

Okokok I'm in my 2WW and going NUTS. I'm 7-9 DPO and got a negative HPT yesterday, but I took it mid day so it may have been too soon and the wrong timing of the day for anything to be detected. That aside, I've noticed my temps have had a steady climb since O. I'm not sure how long after O it's supposed to drop as a sign AF is coming. So I was wondering if anyone could look at my chart (link in my sig) and tell me what they think? Things looking good for a possible BFP soon? Too early to tell? Any input would be helpful and maybe help put my constant "OMG Could I be could i be could i be????" at bay, at least for a few days :P

(This is my first time TTC so I do apologize if this seems silly and obsessive and you wish I would just shut up hahaha)

I can't see siggies because I'm on mobile, but even if you are 9dpo it would be pretty darn early for a BFP, and near impossible for an accurate result midday, unless you hadn't peed for several hours. Wait a few more days and test again first thing in the AM if you don't get a temp drop or AF. Some people don't experience a drop until after AF starts.

@Elbug This cycle is just so darn long (The longest I've ever had as a matter of fact lol) So it's really hard for me to keep my hopes at bay since I'm a week late on my 'expected' start date of AF. When in school sex ed had it forced in your brain that if you're late by one day that means you're KU. Well I'm finding out not that isn't the case. And it's frustrating, not that my cycle can and has changed, but that I was educated so poorly as a young adult/teen.

I'm trying not to read into my body too much either, because I know EVERYTHING is a pregnancy symptom, especially when you're TTC. I just keep having these weird vertigo spells and feeling 'off' (like I'm doped up on pain meds or something) and I just can't shake it off. And then I'm having sporadic cramps EVERY day so here I go thinking "Oh finally, AF is about to be here, I can finally be back on waiting to O" andddddd then nothing.

I dunno. I'm just ready to either get a BFP or AF. I'd be happy with either at this point just so i know what is going on with my body

Yah most school sex ed programs seem to do a terrible job teaching girls about their cycles. Try to not even think about expected AF date, it means absolutely nothing. Since this is your frist cycle charting bbt your LP length is unknown but once you have that figured out it usually doesn't change much and can help you know when "late" really is. A normal LP can be anywhere from 10 - 15/16 days so you may still have another few days to wait until you're really late.

Even after months of charting I still find a way to convince myself most months that I'm ku. Its normal, especially your first month when everything is so new. The only month I did end up ku I didn't think I was and had zero symptoms. I usually start testing around dpo10 (which is still fairly early). So if that helps you feel better then pick up some cheap tests and use them with fmu, Good luck.

Could I maybe try and predict my LP based off my charting of CM prior to me starting temping? I've had a pattern the last 2 cycles of getting EWCM followed by O cramps. I know temping is the only way to pinpoint your actual O date, but do you think it could help me on this cycle if I compared my CM readings to my last 2 cycles?

We still check charts? I didn't know that.

I agree with Fred and Gnome. Good luck
