Can anyone please look at my chart and tell me if I have ovulated?? FF doesn't show a coverline. I'm having severe cramping and back pain since yesterday, irritable for the last 3 days. CM is not very reliable (very scarce and not sure if EWCM).
Are your cycles usually irregular? Or could you be having an anovulatory cycle? Oh, I just noticed you are on metformin which is sometimes used for pcos yeah? So hopefully you are still yet to ovulate!!
Looks like you are keeping your DH nice and close for just the right moment
The optimal days for conception are the two days prior to ovulation (so sperm are in the right place for when the egg is released), then the day of ovulation.
Under 'normal' circumstances (whatever they are?!), there is a 20% chance of conception if you focus BD on these three days.
Oh, looks like it's taken the coverline away again? But possibly because of not waking up at the regular time??
Anyways, I'd say you're in with a good chance!!
Hi SaraJane. yes it did take the coverline out yesterday and I was so depressed I had a drink It's back up today. I tried putting a low temp for tomorrow and it still says ovulation day is d27. I won't get my hopes up high though. Temps are still very low to support a pregnancy? I'm just happy it suggests an ovulatory cycle - I still have a chance
Thanks Nicole, I hope I fall within the 20% I don't have much CM so thought won't survive long enough to wait for the egg if BD day before. Is there anything I can do to increase my CM? Sorry, maybe this question should be in a different thread?
I have to say I think FF may have it wrong... I hope not tho. There are plenty of things you can do to increase you CM, grapefruit juice and I think there are some sups you can get that will help too... I know L-arginine is supposed to help, but it is quite pricey.
Also some sperm friendly lube such ad pre-seed or real egg whites will do the trick also.
I too get the feeling FF is wrong Haven't heard about grapefruit. Was taking Evening primrose oil and vit e plus drinking lots of water last cycle. Worked well, but I have been very slack this month. May use OPKs next cycle. MaybeBaby didn't work for me. I couldn't tell when I was ovulating.
Oh well , my time will come when I'm worthy to be a mum.
