Help! For those of you who chart?!?

in TTC After a Loss
I've been charting regulary before and after my mc/D&C 1/30/14. This month I decided to take Evening primrose oil in an effort to make more EWCM...big mistake! I O on day 14 usually and this month I felt it on CD18 and my temp went up like usual. However today, CD 19 I had a drop in temp?!? Has anyone had this happen...other than being delayed all the signs of O were there and I felt it like usual. Feeling defeated an frustrated that I screwed my body up. Thanks

    I have no experience with evening primrose oil. However, I do know that my MFM told me not to take anything (natural, herbal) that could effect my cycle without checking with her first. Just because something is sold OTC doesn't mean it's safe. Please be careful. Having said that, I'm assuming your body will eventually get it's sh!t together - keep charting - you'll eventually O or end up having an AO cycle.

    If your temp dropped again, you probably haven't ovulated yet. It's normal for your O day to vary, so I wouldn't worry about it, but like PC said, you really should talk to your doctor before taking anything that can mess with your cycle.

    Can you link your chart?

    I don't know how to link my chart but here's a pic of it. It's been more erratic than usual and I stopped taking to EPO. I always feel O for 12-24 hours and I did this month from the evening of CD 18 through mid-day yesterday. Feeling frustrated and you're right...I have textbook cycles. I should've left it alone. Any tricks to more EWCM? I'm 38 and not as abundant as my younger years. Thanks again

    If your temp goes up again, I bet FF will still give you CHs for CD 18. Also, have you considered using OPKs? The more info you can give FF, the better.

    CD 18 could have been your O day, but to me it looks like it hasn't happened yet. You should keep BDing until you get crosshairs. Feel free to check out the link to my chart. I had some peaks and valleys before O this month.
