Feel free to chime in, offer hugs, give your interpretation of a chart stalk and share your knowledge!

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles.

If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here! In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link.

Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart!

To learn more about charting, check out the charting course that FF offers:https://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here. Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

Crazy level from 1-10: 8

CD/DPO: 20/????

Can I just ______ already?!: get a temp shift

Signs/Symptoms: fertile CM for 8 days, positive OPK on Friday and Saturday, typical O mood all last week and over the weekend, negative OPK yesterday, still no temp shift

Explain your Crazy here: I normally O on CD15-16 and have a recognizable shift. I'm sitting at CD20, and despite all signs pointing to O (and 8 straight days of FWP), no temp shift. Granted, I woke up an hour early yesterday and 2 hours early today, because temping turns my sleep to garbage, but even when I make the .2 degrees/hr adjustment, I'm still not anywhere near my usual post-O temps. Is it just slow in coming? Can you O without your temps going up? I'm going to keep taking OPKs and having sex EOD to cover my bases, but I think I'm going to put the thermometer away again because it makes me fucking crazy.
Chart link: WTF?

With you waiting until CD15 to start temping it makes it very hard to see any shift. I get that you are looking for your normal post O temps but your cover line is not always consistent and you could have a cycle with lower temps both pre and post O.

No temp increase means no O. It's pretty common to not see a temp shift the day of, or even the day after, a positive OPK. It's only been two days since your last positive so it's possible that you might see a temp increase tomorrow. Also keep in mind that all of the sex is going to mess with your CM. Are you sure what you are seeing is fertile CM and not left over semen?

just stopping in to say HIIIII :-h

I miss the CT! My temps are already out of wack from the last mc. I'll probably be back when I'm trying to figure out if I am going to O or not this cycle.

edit: wrong smiley.

Crazy level from 1-10: 6

CD/DPO: 17/2

Can I just ______ already?!: Wake up at the same time each day, and have that be after 3 hours of sleep?

Signs/Symptoms: I'm giving my BBT the middle finger right now. My sleep has been all fucked up. Dogs getting me up, waking up and forgetting to temp... you name it, it has gone on in my house. So I have given up on worrying about getting a temp shift, which is a bummer, but not the end of the world. I did get my + OPK, so that is good enough I guess. I'm counting CD15 as O day.

Explain your Crazy here:Just pissed about not being able to BBT consistently. I have the intentions, but not the ability due to my wacky sleep schedule and my three dogs rummaging around at night waking me up.

Chart link: Check It!

Shit. Well I'm having a dumb moment and can't figure out how to get my chart. It is in my siggy if anyone who is not mobile is interested in looking.

Edit: Does this work??? MY CHART

crazy level: 3

CD/DPO: 32/.... ugh!

Can I just: Ovulate pls!! still no temp shift, although cm looks more promising. Fx!

Signs/symptoms: Cm looks right, but we shall see. Having some cramping.

Explain your crazy: I hate trying to analyze my chart! it's wonky and long. I am considering switching to vaginal temping. Anyone recommend it?

When I do actually get the chance to temp, I do it vaginally. I find it very easy and I do think that my temps are more accurate that way. Sometimes it would take forever for my temp to stabilize enough to beep when using oral temps. Vaginally it only takes a few seconds and is easy.

@TowerClimbersWife‌ thanks! I think I may switch over when this cycle ends. My temp sometimes takes time to register too. Would be nice to get it done quick so I can go back to snoozing!
