Charting question- slow rise

GuennieGuennie member
in TTC after 35
I haven't charted enough cycles to know if this is unheard of for me but it's really confusing. The cycles I've charted I had a big jump the day after O. I didn't get a jump this cycle, I got a slow rise three days in a row and it didn't go as high as I'm used to. Now it's hanging around the same range, a little lower but still above coverline. Does this sound like an anovulatory cycle or have any of you had an occasional slow rise when you normally have a jump? I just don't know what to think. Grrr.

    Hmmm - I know I usually have a noticeable jump and not a slow rise.  Can you link your chart?

    I usually have a noticeable jump, but some cycles I get a slow rise. They are harder to pinpoint the exact day, but usually w multiple luteal phase points I can estimate a 2-3 day range.

    I'm using a different app from FF. It doesn't figure out O for you so you have to mark a temp shift yourself. I'll upload a pic. I guessed CD17 because there was a slight dip and my cervix was high and open that day, then my temp slowly started to rise the next day.

    hmmmm - cd 17 is a possibility.  I also think that cd 19 or cd 21 could be o day as well looking at your temps.  Hopefully you'll see a sustained temp rise and be able to know for sure in the next couple of days.

    I looked back at my charts on ff and I always have a pretty dramatic increase the morning after o.  I've never had a slow rise, but our bodies are jerks and do what they want.

    I didn't chart a whole lot but I always had a jump. I'm thinking cd19 as a possibility too. But I am not an expert by any means.

    Thanks guys. I was hoping to get a very clear O so I could be on my merry way and be done with this stupid cycle! No, it just gets more and more frustrating. I don't even want to think about it anymore but, ya know...can't help it.

    I don't see how I could possibly still be waiting to O at this point. The longest cycle I ever had was 31 days. So I have to conclude either it's anovulatory or my body is deciding to mess with me and watch me squirm. Either way it stinks!!

    Well my temp went up again today and it's now the highest it's been this cycle. I really think I must be post O just not sure which day O was. Doesn't seem likely I would have had O yesterday because my cervix was low again and I'm pretty sure it was closed. I had some cramping really early this morning. Who knows...guess I'll just have to see what happens. I could be completely wrong. I'm leaving my guess as is for now.

    The O day can be so hard to detect sometimes. I wish there was an easier way to know for sure that O did actually occur. It can be so frustrating. I guess you'll know sooner or later...fingers crossed!
