    Everything else BUT a temp rise - HELP!

    I am sooo lost, and need help!

    Can anyone take a look at my current chart in progress (below), and help me work out what's going on?

    I had +OPK's on CD25 & CD26, I had (and still have) tender BB's, I had O pain, and my CM is pretty much dried up BUT, no temp rise!!

    I'm stuck at 36.5 and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It's CD28 today, and think I'll BD again tonight just in case, but I'm worried this temp rise will never come!

    Seeing you started charting part way through your cycle you can't tell anything from this chart. You need to start from CD1 so you can see how low your pre O temps are. From looking at your chart I'd say you probably O'd before you started charting.

    Thanks Satya,

    I actually started charting at the start of the cycle but on paper, however I only started my temps on CD16 as that's when I got a proper BBT thermometre.

    From my previous months of charting, I have always had the same combination of signs - OPK+'s, EWCM and O pains, so I always assumed I o'd around that time.

    Now I've added the temping to the mix, and I don't know where I am, as that's the only sign that isn't adding up!

    Congratulations on your BFP, that's fantastic for you, you must be very excited. Hope to join you very soon!

    You seem to have had fertile CM for a very long time. I don't think I've ever seen a chart with that much fertile CM.

    Are you temping orally or vaginally?

    Looks like you've had your temperature rise! Did you get that extra BD in on CD28? Hope you caught the egg and get that much wanted BFP at the end of your TWW. How long are your cycles normally? Good luck, Darily!

    Hi all,

    Daniellabella - I thought the same thing, that my CM was fertile for a long time. I find it really hard to tell the difference between the normal, everyday wetness and the watery CM.

    Kbowman - thanks for the well wishes. I'm 5DPO today and have absolutely no signs of pg at all. Feel fine, as per normal, so maybe it's too early to tell, or maybe next month is the focus now.
    My poor DH was catus by CD28, so our last BDing was on CD26. My theory was to give it a rest on CD27 and BD again on CD 28, but by 12noon on CD28 my CM was sticky and I new I had already O'd, so we took a much needed rest that night too. Would it be right to assume that if my CM was sticky around midday on CD28, that I O'd early that morning? What is the time frame between O'ing and a change in CM?

    Normally my cycles are around 35 days, however this will be a long one (around 43 days) for some reason.

    This sounds silly, but I'm really hoping I vomit or have agonising BB's soon . . . any symptom, and I promise I won't dare complain about it (he he).

    LOL, Darily, actually I'm not at all surprised that you wore out your DH, looking at that BD record! You're still in with a chance, a strong one. The earliest I ever felt symptoms was DPO9 and then I wasn't sure, but just thought my breasts were suspiciously swollen and heavier than normal. As far as CM change goes, FF says it usually dries up after O so your thinking that you O'd early on CD28 is sound. And I'd be thrilled to have the full suite of pregnancy symptoms too!! IKWYM!! Good luck!!

    The TWW is such a struggle. If I poke and squeeze my boobs any more they're bound to get sore, and then I'll probably be happy (LOL).

    I'm really sorry to see your two beautiful angels. Your time will be very soon, I'm sure.

    P.S. I'm actually a little embarassed of my BD stats. Poor DH really did put in a star effort, and then we stopped 2 days too soon!! This was my first month temping, so next month I might consider giving him a RDO every now and then . . . . . actually, probably not (he he).
