Let's have a little girl talk!
How long have you been TTC?
How many days do your cycles range?
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
How long is your LP?
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?

How many days do your cycles range? Since I've been using FF 31 - 35 days. I used to love the longer cycle growing up because less periods.. now I wish it was shorter.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Two cycles temping one I Od on CD 17 and the other CD19. So long to wait I get kind of exhausted HIO. Once LP comes I'm like Thank you!! I need a break.
How long is your LP? 15-16 days. Its so annoyingly long. But I usually end up spotting 3 days prior to my period so by CD 12 or 13 I know I'm out.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? The two months I have been temping they did. But that is not much to go on.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? Range is about 96.8 - 97.5 during WTO
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? Usually O day is ~97.4 and the highest it has gone to is ~98.35. My temperature is always pretty low so, I get pretty excited when it starts going over 98.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? Yes I typcially do have some ovulation cramping for a few days. I actually had a lot of cramping this past cycle that I got excited about.. but now I'm still having the same cramping so I'm wondering if it isn't something to do with my back issues, causing my hips to ache and me interpreting them as cramps.. I should do my stretches!
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? Lately 3-4 days, one heavy day. I spot for ~3 days before and 1-2 days after the lightest day. The spotting is the most annoying part because it will be barely there for a day and I think AF is gone for good, then bam, ruined my panties. Cant stand pantie liners though eek.. just cant do it.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! I do have the VIP FF.. and can do the overlay.. but I do not know how to do it from the PC - does anyone know? I will try to add it via Bump Mobile.. thats how I usually see the overlay is on my phone. You can view my charts in my siggy though if I don't figure it out.

TTC #1: January 2016 BFP 5/16/16 Quinn Born 1/27/17
How many days do your cycles range? anywhere from 36 days to 52 days
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Nope, that varies a lot too. I've ovulated anywhere from CD 23 to CD 36
How long is your LP? It's been from 12-16 days.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? If rocky mountain is a pattern, then yes? Even with vaginal temping, I still have a lot of variation.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? What is your range of temperatures while in LP? Well I switched to vaginal temping on cycle 4 so even though I've been TTC for 9 months, I can't compare the oral versus vaginal charts for temps. With vaginal temps, WTO temps are in the 97.8 and lower and LP temps are 97.8 and higher.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I feel like I do have O pains but they don't always seem to coincide with O, so I'm probably mistaking gas for O pain. I don't really have any consistent symptoms.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? 4-5 days. It's heavy but not anything crazy.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! I've only selected the cycles where I have ovulated. I had two 45 day anovulatory cycles after I had Mirena removed so no point in including those. This current cycle (in green) seems more promising with rising temps instead of zigzag mountains.
DS: 5 years old
TTC #2 since August 2015
July 2016: Testing cycle with 100 mg Clomid = BFN
August 2016: 50 mg Clomid + IUI = BFN
October 2016: IVF#1 - 13 retrieved / 12 mature / 9 fertilized / 2 blasts
November 2016: FET#1 = chemical
January 2017: FET#2 = chemical
March 2017: IVF#2 - 18 retrieved / 18 mature / 16 fertilized / 5 blasts
May 24, 2017: FET#4 - BFP! - Beta #1 151 - Beta #2 503 - Due date 2/9/18
How many days do your cycles range? 28-33, + one oddball that was 45 days. O was delayed on that one due to half marathon training. But I PR'd at the race, so it was worth it.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time? It ranges between CD 15 and 19, usually happening on CD 18 or 19.
How long is your LP? Usually 13-14 days. I've had two 15 days, one 12 and one 11.
Temp range in WTO? 96.8 - 97.1
Temp range in LP? 97.4 - 97.9. I think I've reached 98 degrees maybe twice when I wasn't sick.
Ovulation symptoms? I've noticed I get really intense gas pain right around when I ovulate. Could just be a coincidence.
How long is your period? 3-4 days. Starts out medium, then 2 light days. I spot usually 3 days before and 1-3 days after.
Chart overlay attached
How many days do your cycles range? I have long irregular cycles that range from 40 to 52 days
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Unfortunately not
How long is your LP? Typically 13 days once in while it goes 14 days
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? For the most party. Usually my temps are really crazy and rocky the first part of my cycle. The week before O they drop down and kind of even out and then shoot up on O day.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? Usually between 97.0 and 97.5
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? 97.7 - 98.3
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I do get O pain and pretty bad acne around ovulation time. I usually always feel really tired the few days after O too.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? Usually about 5 days while 1 or 2 days being heavy
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! I'm too lazy to add it right now, I'll try to come back later and put it in!

How many days do your cycles range?
They've been 27 days since going off of birth control.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
Don't really have enough data to confirm yet but last month with using OPKs it was CD16
How long is your LP?
Last month it was 11 days. I'm a tad concerned this is too short but Dr. Google doesn't complete support my worry so I'm trying to let that go.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
I don't temp at this time because it would cause me an intense amount of stress and anxiety. I know it's the only way to confirm O but right now I'm comfortable with estimating through OPKs and other secondary signs. And BD often no matter what just to be sure.
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
N/A
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
N/A
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
I get O pains. My EWCM is inconsistent as far as when it comes and how long it stays.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
5 days with1-2 being heavy. Lately it's been extremely heavy and painful right from the first day, so I made an appointment for next week to get my fibroid checked. Painful, heavy periods that aren't your norm can be a symptom that the fibroid is growing. I'm terrified that they'll tell me it's grown into this massive monster taking over my uterus but I just have to wait and see.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
I think since I don't temp the chart feature doesn't do anything. Otherwise I'd happily share!
9 Months and 10 Cycles. But the first few months and cycles were NTNP. So a couple of them didn't even have a chance.
How many days do your cycles range?
24-27, I'm averaging about 25.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
Yes, I'm seeming to stay within a day or two month to month.
How long is your LP?
12-15... It keeps changing a day or so each time. I'm thinking more like 13 or 14.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
I don't temp right now. I think about TTC way too much as is, and I don't want a reminder the second I wake up. Plus I don't wake up well... I would likely forget way more often then remember. When we hit one year I'm going to start likely.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
I think my acne kicks up approaching ovulation, but not certain if it's residual from my period. Not any definitive symptom. My cm is fertile sometimes only until ovulation and sometimes through to after.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
It's actually about 3 days + 1 spotting. Usually only 1 day of heavy, medium, light each, but sometimes no heavy and 2 medium. I get cramps for about an hour or two right when my period comes/is about to start. Which is a HUGE change.
I used to throw up and get a temperature of ~102 from my cramps. My current heavy used to be my medium.... It's fabulous. But makes me worry that's something is wrong because it's soooo different. I've been on the mirena for over 7 years before this (2 consecutively) because my periods were SO bad.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
I do, but no temps, so I don't know if it matters.
eta: clarity
How many days do your cycles range? Ugh. They were closer to 32-35, but my last couple have been 45-47. Long cycles suck.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? No. My "normal" is around CD 30, but I've O'd as early as CD 23 and as late as CD 35.
How long is your LP? A very consistent 12 days! This is about the only consistency in my cycles! lol.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? Basically, not exactly, but close enough. I tend to get a few dips/spikes that get me excited for O before the real thing. I've learned to just ignore them for a while, though.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? I hover between 96.5-97, but it has gotten as low as 96.2. I'll occasionally spike to about 97.3 pre-O, but that might have been because of a bad night's sleep, or some other external cause.
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? Those range throughout the 97s. Some cycles are higher than others, and I haven't been able to explain the differences.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I don't really have your typical ovulation pain, except for last cycle. There was definitely an Ah-ha! moment when I realized what everyone has been talking about this whole time! lol. As far as other symptoms, I haven't really been able to pinpoint anything that is completely characteristic of O for me. Sometimes my boobs hurt, and sometimes my lower back aches, but those things also happen at other times, so I can never been sure.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? Mine is usually around 5 days, and omg it's awful. It's probably my endo making that bad, though. Last cycle was my first real period since the laparoscopy, and it was sooooo much better! I'm hoping that will continue!
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
I left out two cycles where I didn't ovulate, and this cycle didn't show up for some reason. The green line is from August, and I was temping at a later time than I am now, so the line is artificially high. I leave it in all my overlays, though, because the pattern is essentially the same.
**TW**
Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
How many days do your cycles range? Usually 28 - 29 days, but I have had some surprises
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? So far yes, generally between CD 14 - CD17.
How long is your LP? Generally, 11-12 days
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? For the most post, the range of temps varies, but some of the shifts and dips tend to happen around the same time.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? I don't take my temp while on my period, I try to start a couple days after it is completely finished, but they can range between 97.70 to 96.9 The season and temp of our room definitely plays a factor in temps.
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? 97.8 - 98.50
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I never used to pay attention to my body this closely, but this process makes you overthink everything. I do get some cramping around O, high sex drive and sometimes a nausea. BBs start hurting immediately.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? Usually 5-6 days with 1 - 2 heavy.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! I don't have the VIP option anymore, but here are my last 2 charts. Sorry if they are super huge, I didn't know how else to link them.

TTC#1: Aug 2015
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5e3072
How many days do your cycles range? In the 25-29 day range. I've had 23 and 34, but nothing outside of those.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? More or less... generally between 16 and 20.
How long is your LP? 9-10 days.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? Not always the same pattern of ups and downs and whatnot, but I do have pretty consistent temps as long as I temp vaginally at the same time.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? Around 98.0... like from 97.7 to 98.2. Keep in mind this is vaginal, so it's going to be higher than oral temps.
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? 98.3 to 98.6ish. It's generally much more steady and consistent than my WTO temps.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? Nope, never had any symptoms on ovulation day.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? About 5 days, but only 1 is actually heavy.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! I use a different app that I prefer, but that overlay feature is one of the things I get a bit jealous of!
Married March 2013
How many days do your cycles range? They used to be 28. Since going off BC, anywhere from 29 to 33 so far.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? It took me a while to realize it but I always ovulate somewhere between CD17 and 20--I kept assuming I was "late."
How long is your LP? 12-13 days
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? This is only my second cycle temping, but they only seem slightly similar. Last month, I had more nose-dives on key days (O, the estrogen surge around 7DPO), didn't have that this cycle... but other than that, yes, similar.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? Oral: 96.5-97.5, Vaginal: 97.4-98.2 (I start off hot and get lower and lower until O)
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? Oral: 97.2 - 97.9, Vaginal: 98.1-99.7
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I have ovulation pain every time. It starts off with some sharp, stabby lightning bolt pains in whatever side. That can last a few days... off and on. Then, as I actually am ovulating, it turns into horrible AF type cramps that last about an hour or two.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? 5. I don't think mine is heavy (currently anyway!), just medium and then light. First day is the worst--usually burn through 4 or 5 "regular" tampons total that day. Then it immediately gets light for the other 4 days.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
Mine looks useless because I only have 2 months of data and this cycle I switched to vaginal temping as my primary (I still log oral temps in my notes). The patterns are still remarkably the same though... just the temps shifted upwards since oral is cooler than vag.
How long have you been TTC? I say 6/6, but I went off BCP in October, lazy "trying" (closer to NTNP really) until Dec. Actually trying in terms of putting more of an effort into sex often starting in January, so I could technically say 4/4, I guess, if I want to make myself feel better.
How many days do your cycles range? since coming off BCP: 35, 47, 25, 32, 29, ??
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? not sure, not temping yet...if I'm not KU now, I am buying a BBT on the next CD1!!
How long is your LP? no clue ^^
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? n/a
What is your range of temperature while WTO? n/a
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? n/a
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I get diarrhoea right before AF every time....I also have acne flares (but I have acne pretty much all the time anyways)
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? usually 2-4 days, last cycle I only spotted and I am super confused and a bit concerned about that...it was borderline spotting and actual flow, so I counted it as CD1 to make myself feel better, but I really don't know :S Before I went on BCP in highschool, I would have 5-6 days, 3-4 of which would be HEAVY flow.

Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?

BFP 5/17/16 | EDD 1/27/17 | Born 2/4/17
How many days do your cycles range? This part is frustrating. Was on a really standard 28 day cycle until last month when I needed it to be normal for testing and then it was 32 days. FF thinks my cycle will be 26 days this month. No idea why.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Was never sure of ovulation until this month on Femara and it looks like it was CD14 but I guess that's logical when it's medically assisted
How long is your LP? I guess I won't know until the end of this cycle.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? Haha. No. This is the first month I've ever been able to see a clear pattern.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? This month was between 96.7 and 97.2
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? Had a spike on CD16 to 97.8, then it's went down to 97.5 and it's been steadily climbing to this morning's all time high of 98.14
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I always seem to have something that I never know if it's related to AF or O or what. But I also experience intermittent rectal pains that I think I can attribute to my cycle but not in any clear pattern. Sometimes I get the sore boobs mid-cycle and I did notice they were sensitive mid-cycle this month.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? Usually 4 days with an increasingly heavy Day 1, heavy Day 2 and Day 3 and a decreasingly heavy Day 4. Gone by Day 5. But my version of 'heavy' might be laughable to some. I use regular tampons, no backups, no getting up in the middle of the night to change... I've heard horror stories about truly heavy periods and I'm so sorry for those people.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! No overlay but here's this month so far.
DH: 33
Married: October 2015
TTC #1: October 2015
EDD #1: June/July 2017
3 months!
How many days do your cycles range?
Almost always 30-32. I have an occasional long cycle (I'm in the middle of one now) that can be anywhere from 40-60 days.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
I only have two months of temps and one of them is this month (which has been a weird late ovulation month) but my first month I thought O was around CD17 based on CM and OPKs, and last month it was confirmed to be CD18 with temping. So it seems when I have a normal cycle it is pretty consistent.
How long is your LP?
The one temping month it was 12, the unconfirmed OPK month it was 13!
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
Looking at the overlay of these past two months it actually seems they do (more so than I thought they would). Especially because I'm not actually super confident I O'd when FF says I did this month, I'm not putting a ton of stock into it yet.
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
96.2-97.2ish with the outter ones being outliers. (typically more around 96.5-97.1)
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
97.1-98.1
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
I usually notice ovulation pain as kind of a dull ache followed by a bursting sensation, then back to a dull ache for a bit. Some months I miss the bursting pain part. I also tend to get kind of gassy/bloated around O so not sure if this is related or not. I also always get a bunch of EWCM typically noticeable without internally checking a couple days before O! And acne. Lovely.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
5-6 days with days 2-3 being heavy, 1 and 4 medium, and 5 light. Then I might spot a little for a day or two.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
This is my chart with what I thinks O was this month, but when I put my +OPK in for today it takes away those crosshairs, so this data isn't necessity accurate. That being said there's slightly more of a pattern than I would have thought.
Edit: spelling
Married: November 2015
TTC#1: January 2016
BFP: 5/02/16 - MC: 5/27/16
How many days do your cycles range? About 33.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Usually between CD17-20.
How long is your LP? 13 days, but sometimes my uterus is just enough of a jerk to wait until I take a test and then give me my period a few hours later.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? Nope, they were weird the first two cycles off BCP, then I had beautiful charts with pretty temp rises for like 3 cycles, then they got weird again, which lead to lots of stress, and hence why I took a break from temping this cycle. I'll go back to it next cycle probably.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? 97-97.5, with O usually a dip down into high 96s.
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? 97.5-98.5.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? Yes, I get Mittelschmerz pain, but more so on the right than left. My right side is also the side where I have a history of cysts, I'm not sure if those two are related. I also monitor CM/CP, those always change right at the time of O. It happens really fast.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? 3ish days, last time it was 2. Usually only the first day is pretty heavy, the others are light. I sometimes have a few days of spotting after. My MDs think this is apparently fine, even though I still feel weird about it being so short.

Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
***TW loss mentioned throughout***
Mo/C TTC: 9/7 and this is our first cycle TTCAL
Cycle length: 35-56 days
O date consistency: CD20-42, it's not consistent at all. My earliest O was on CD20 last cycle. After loss, I'm currently on CD24 with no O in sight.
LP length: 14 days usually (which I'm kindof surprised because I had such low progesterone); one cycle it was 11 days
Temp pattern consistency: no consistency at all with a regular thermometer; this is my second cycle with my BBT and so far my temps are matching pre-O values from last cycle
WTO/FP temp range: orally with BBT, 96.8-97.6
TWW/LP temp range: orally with BBT, 97.7-98.7
O pain/signs/symptoms: a dark(er) OPK, and my boobs get sore a few days after O, otherwise my only suspicion is CM patterns and a temp shift
Period length/heavy days: usually 3 days, only 1 heavy day
Chart/chart overlay: *eta green=BBT, the rest are all regular thermometer (let me be a case in point for why anything less than a BBT just doesn't cut it)

How long have you been TTC? Today is literally the first day of our first cycle TTC. So, about 4 hours. haha! I have been temping the last 2 cycles though, since I went off birth control.
How many days do your cycles range? Since going off birth control in February the 1st cycle was 28 days, the 2nd cycle was 32 days. (I was only on birth control for 6 months because we just needed a condom break and a time to not think about babies for a bit before we started this.) Before going on bc last summer I was off of it for 2 years. During that time my cycles were about 32-34 days. So, I have a feeling my body is heading back in that direction. I would expect my next cycle to be more like the last.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? 1st cycle was CD 12, 2nd cycle was CD 19. Like I said above, I would expect future cycles to be closer to the CD 19 mark.
How long is your LP? 1st cycle was 16, 2nd cycle was 13.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? They seem relatively similar. But, I think I need to chart some more cycle to really know the answer to that.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? 97.0-97.7
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? 97.6-98.2
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? I don't really notice much with ovulation. In the past I have had some very minor mid-cycle cramping, but wasn't temping at the time so I can't say for sure. The last 2 cycles temping there hasn't really been much. I don't get EWCM either, it is slightly more watery, but CM is not very helpful yet.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? My period before going on bc last summer was about 4 or 5 days long. It has been just maybe slightly long since going of bc, but that is to be expected and will probably go back to normal pretty soon. Day 1 is usually light to medium flow. Day 2 is pure hell and SUPER heavy flow. Like, I go through a heavy flow tampon in like 2 hours. On those days if I have to leave the house I always do pad and tampon. Day 3 is usually still pretty heavy, but slightly better. And day 4 and 5 are light. Sometimes just spotting on day 5 and 6.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
Here are my last 2 cycles temping, since I went off bc.

How many days do your cycles range? They've been all over the place. I'm pretty sure that my body has finally started to regulate post-HBC, and my last cycle was 33 days. This one is shaping up to possibly be a little shorter than that.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Woof, not even close.
How long is your LP? 12 days. The only thing that's been like clockwork thus far.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? They didn't in my first couple of cycles, but they have started to!
What is your range of temperature while WTO? 97.2-97.5
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? 97.7-98.2
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? Yeah, I get some kind of aggressive ovulation pains.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? About 4 days, and it's only heavy for like half a day.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! My chart is in my signature. I do have the overlay feature, but it's kind of worthless because all of my cycles except the last one were kind of all over the place.
________________________________________________________
Started TTC #1 November 2015
BFP 6/10/2016 - EDD 2/22/2017
4 months and just started 5th cycle plus 2 NTNP after stopping birth control
How many days do your cycles range?
About 27-28 days. About first 4 cycles after stopping BC were about 25/26 days then had one super long cycle at 32 days then noticed a difference afte in terms hormonal changes throughout cycle and seem to be back to my pre-BC 27-28 day cycle. Really wondering now if those first 4 were anovulatory.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
By O pain yes. Only started temping last cycle after the super long cycle cause I wanted to know what was happening.
How long is your LP?
About 13 days
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
Not enough data yet. About to start temping again for my second cycle
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
Seems to be about 97.7 - 98.2
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
Went as high as 98.8. Was really concerned that temps are too high (all oral btw) cause my basal temp is higher than what TCOYF says the typical range is but I still saw a clear temp shift. Also I have a chronic medical illness so maybe that affects it?
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
I have cramping pain over one ovary (same one every month) that comes and goes from about O day until CD1.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
About 5 days, first 2 heavy
Can you show your chart? D
Don't have enough to overlay but can show my one cycle temping so far.
14 months tomorrow. On 7 months/4 cycles pre-RE. 6 cycles with RE.
How many days do your cycles range?
Unmedicated 30-100+. Medicated usually 32.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
Unmedicated no; very irregular if I even ovulate. Medicated generally CD14. Even if I didn't trigger I'd still O around CD 14.
How long is your LP?
Unmedicated 15. Medicated 17.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
Unmedicated no. Very hill and valley. Medicated yeah.
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
I temp vaginally. Generally around 97.5.
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
Around 98.5
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
I have no such symptoms .
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
Usually 3-4. One normal flow, two light.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
Unmedicated
Medicated
October I saw my RE mid cycle and was at the time anovulatory.

I got of HBC Feb 2015, but my cycles didn't start regulating until October (so we didn't even attempt to try before then), so I count 11/6 NTNP. Now that I know my LP length, our timing was meh at best. We have only been actively TTC (OPKs, BBT, EOD-ish sex) for 4 months/3 cycles.
How many days do your cycles range? 27-66 days, but are usually 35-40ish.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Definitely not. This is only my 3rd cycle determining O, but so far it's been CD28, CD16, CD27.
How long is your LP? 11-12 days
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? My first two temping cycles, yes. This one has been way different, I'm thinking maybe because I started acupuncture?
What is your range of temperature while WTO? 96.3-97.0
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? 97.2-97.9
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? Just lots of EWCM, I haven't ever had O pain/cramping until this cycle, and I have had strong period-style cramps.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? 5 days, with a day of spotting before and after. One very heavy day, the rest are light-medium.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
I'm mobile bumping, so it won't be pretty. I also had to pin at O for this cycle, since I won't get CH until tomorrow.
How many days do your cycles range? 28 - 32. Average 30.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Between CD 16 - 18. Twice now on CD18
How long is your LP? Feels short but it's in the normal range 12 - 14 days, average 13
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? Yes, I guess so. My charts look pretty similar month to month other than a few randoms.
What is your range of temperature while WTO? low 97's
What is your range of temperatures while in LP? High 97s to low 98s.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? For the most part I have ovulation pain right around the days I ovulate. Boobs tend to get sore as I get closer to AF.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? Pretty short AF at 3 - 5 days, at most. I rarely get heavy anymore. I've always been a light - medium.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see! I'll try and add it!
Is it Ovidrel that lengthens your LP? This is my third cycle on Clomid, the first two cycles my LP was actually shorter than normal (10 and 11 days versus my normal 12). This month I added Ovidrel and I'm currently 13 or 14DPO and still only having very minimal and sporadic spotting.

How many days does your cycle range: Between 26-30, since I just got off of birth control my cycles are still ir-regular.
Do you seem to ovulate @ the same time/each cycle: I am still trying to determine my ovulation days. I tried a tracker where you pee in the cup/its supposed to say your most fertile days, so far, no luck. :'(
I don't know what LP stands for, and I don't currently track my basal temp...it's probably something I'll need to invest in to get a better overall picture of my ovulation/general fertility.
Ovulation pains/symptoms..overall, very "in the mood" the past few days
How long is your period/is is heavy: This coming period (in 2 weeks) will be the first off birth control, so I'll have to wait and see...normally with birth control the range was medium flow, averaged about 4-5 days.
I don't currently chart, I'll need to maybe do so if this next 2 tries of TTC months are negative. We will see. Good luck to everyone in the 'waiting game 'phase
How long have you been TTC?
3 Months/3 Cycles - had my Mirena IUD removed beginning of February.
How many days do your cycles range?
I think my uterus is still getting used to doing it's thing post-HBC, but it looks like I'm roughly a 28-32 day cycle. I'm stoked! Pre-HBC, I was extremely irregular (like, 7 days one cycle, then 28, then 40, etc). I think the HBC kicked my junk into gear.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
Ehh looks like it's around CD16, but I tend to have a pretty long LH spike.
How long is your LP?
Looks to be around 14-18 days. I drink raspberry leaf tea, which is supposed to lengthen the luteal phase as one of its magic properties.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? What is your range of temperature while WTO? What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
I don't temp. It would stress the partner out too much (he gets wonky enough with OPKs).
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
Yup, I've always gotten mittelschmerz. I've noticed that I also get a migraine when my LH starts rising.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
Pre-HBC:
Mirena: No period after 4 months up until the last year, where I would spot for CD1.
Post-HBC: CD1 day medium/heavy, CD2-3 medium-light, CD4-5 spotting.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
My chart's not exciting due to no temps.

How many days do your cycles range?
27-32ish
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
Since I've been keeping track and temping, no. I O'd CD13-14 for 2 months, then once at CD18 and last month at CD21. This month I think I O'd on CD13.
How long is your LP?
13-14 days
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
Sort of. Slow rise, then stays up for awhile and right before I get AF, huge temp drop.
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
less than 97.5
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
97.5 - 98.1 (usually)
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
I'm not sure. I feel random twinges but can't really tell if it's ovulation pain or not. I really emotional, cramps and sore boobs a few days before AF starts.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
Unfortunately 6-7 days. Heavy for the first 2-3 days, then medium for a couple days, then light/spotting.

Link is in my siggy
How many days do your cycles range? 28-29 days
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD? Yep. CD 14-15. I thought this was interesting because I used to O between CD 17-20 before DD2.
How long is your LP? 13-14 days
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern? Yes, most of the time.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle? CM is watery 3-4 days before O and then changes to EW usually the day before and day of O. I also have O pains and I break out before O.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy? 5-6 days. It is usually heavy 3 days and then light. I also usually have a day or two of light spotting before and after.

Thanks 4 the recommendation
I got my mirena out end of August '15. I had it in for over 7 years.... two consecutively. Never had a period while on them. My first cycle was wonky. But mostly fine after and slowly working to my normal.
The problem is/was I don't know my normal. I haven't had a non-hormonal period for over 10 years, and they were bad. I was still a teenager and had to go on hbc to regulate everything and function. So I'm hoping this is my normal.
DH and I have been having unprotected sex since January 2015 but I didn't start temping, charting etc. till August 2015. So, 9 months?
How many days do your cycles range?
28-36 for the past 8 months. Before that they were closer to 40-70 days.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
Since I've been temping I've been confirming ovulation between CD14 and CD22 with the average being around CD20.
How long is your LP?
13-14 days.
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
Not really.
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
Generally around 96.7- 97.3.
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
Anywhere from 97.3- 98.2.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
I seem to have an increased sex drive around O. And my face tends to break out a couple of days before O. I also usually start getting backaches when I O (within a day or two on either side) that lasts throughout my luteal phase.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
2-3 days. I also usually spot the day before my period starts and often I'll spot for a day or two after my periods ends. I never have a truly heavy period day. "Heavy" for me is actually soaking a pad over the course of the entire day. And that's really rare. I usually wouldn't soak a pad if I wore it from when I first started bleeding till I was done spotting. Obviously I wouldn't do that for hygiene reasons, but hypothetically. Based off what I see in my menstrual cup I'd estimate I only bleed around ~10mL total during my period.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
Here is my overlay pinned at O and coverline. I omitted the August chart because I started temping later in the cycle and then had a nasty flu for the entire luteal phase. So my chart was just an absolute hot mess that month.
TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016
Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
Baby #2 due June 12, 2018
How long have you been TTC?
We've been having unprotected sex since July 2015, hoping we'd get pregnant, but didn't really start "trying" until January 2016. So sort of 4 months/3 cycles plus a bunch of months that basically feel wasted in retrospect.
How many days do your cycles range?
After finally regulating after HBC, right around 36 every time.
Do you seem to ovulate at the same time each cycle/around the same CD?
Yup, it has been CD25 for the last 3 cycles, which is as long as I've been paying attention.
How long is your LP?
11-12
Do your temperatures seem always follow the same pattern?
I think so. My first few months of temping were really rocky, but this month they have really evened out and follow the same pattern as before.
What is your range of temperature while WTO?
High 96s to low 97s.
What is your range of temperatures while in LP?
Mostly high 97s with an occasional low 98.
Do you notice that you have ovulation pains? or other symptoms every single cycle?
Nothing. Nothing pre-O and very little pre-AF. It was pretty frustrating because I have to rely very hard on OPKs and temping, but since my cycles seem fairly regular (until they're not) I am getting to the point I think I can predict. My CM is virtually non-existent and because of that, I've started checking CP, but still not totally sure what I'm doing there.
How long is your period? How many days is it heavy?
About 4 days of actual bleeding, with 2 or 3 days of spotting on each end.
Can you show your chart? Do you have the overlay feature, I'd love to see!
Sorry, this is probably huge. I'm not the best at pictures or gifs!
