Btw, sore nipples started after the EWCM, and I also had quite bad ovulation pain around that time, which was what made me think that might be the actual ovulation, so I was quite surprised that the temp didn't go up the next day.
Kinda strange to get pms symptoms before ovulation isn't it?
yeah, your other symptoms do indicate a post O kinda thang. oooh how frustrating for you! i'd be hazarding that being the first cycle off pill and with a recent m/c that your body is still adjusting, so the charts will look strange.
All i can really recommend is that you keep doing what you are doing and follow your own body signs (ie ovulation pain, CM, increased sex drive etc) and compliment this with what you are seeing on the charts and in your temps. that way, if there is a discrepency between when you think you Od and what the chart is telling you, there is a good chance you are covered in terms of timing in both instances (this is what we had to do recently to get our BFP...FF had actually told me that there was no detected ovulation but i knew i had because i had the O pains and ewcm....).
Also, i reckon that if you are experiencing conflict with the FF O date, try switching to 'research' mode (instead of 'advanced'). this is what i did when it told me i hadnt Od...and bingo, it gave me a date...i find that it can be a helpful tool if you are worried.
Hi Julie, just thought I'd mention that most sites dealing with O and cycles in general will tell you that the temp rise will usually come up to 72 hours post O, eg anywhere from the day of O to 3 days post O.
By looking at your chart I would say you O'd between CD14 and CD15, making you 12-13dpo today. The spotting is probably just your period coming early, I have had that happen on 12dpo before as well back in early Feb, 1st cycle after a Chemical pregnancy.
I also had a mc in early March, and thought I was UTD this month, had my usual O cramping between CD15-16 and a temp rise on CD17, then my temps were really low (mostly below the coverline) and went up and down until what I thought was 10DPO (the day before I had some cramping pain for 10-15mins exactly 2 inches below my bellybutton, thought it might be implantation), had all the symptoms of being preg from what I thought was 3dpo onwards, got worse after 9dpo, but still no AF and had a big temp drop this morning and a BFN on a test (I'd be 18dpo today if I O'd on CD16 like I thought I did), so I don't really know what to think at the moment, my whole cycle has been messed up by the mc in march.
I hope you get some answers soon though.
FF originally said that I ovulated on the 5th, but changed its mind to the 7th after I put the temp in today. Dunno why...
I am sure af will arrive tomorrow, as I am still spotting, and it has increased during the day.
Thanks for your help I'm sure next month will be better. When I used to chart back in 2005 everything was very predictable and never had any problems interpreting anything.. Those were the days...
Still as confused as ever. Temp is even lower today, but still no sign of af. I check cm internally yesterday and there was a drop of fresh blood, when I checked this morning there was just brownish/greyish stuff (sorry). When I woke up my stomach also started churning and I felt really sick, which is how morning sickness started for me last time. Not sure what to think at the moment, as it seems very unlikely that I could be pregnant, altho theoretically possible.
