Newbie to charting - help!

Hmm, I don't have access to your chart, but I'm really confident in your temps listed in previous post. If that were my chart, I'd call that an O on the day before 36.4 I would also call it a 'slow-rise,' which may or may not be indicative of anything.

TWW = two week wait. Essentially the luteal phase, i.e. time between O and (expected) AF, the phase that is of consistent length (two weeks??) This is the time when people who are and want to be very clued into their body may notice symptoms that turn out to be early pg. They could just as easily turn out to be PMS symptoms, so it's always a bit of fun to see which way it goes. Most people on BB try to hold off from testing for pg with HPT until the end of TWW or the day that AF is due (more/less than 2 weeks) or after. But some of us are eager!

I should also say that it sounds like you're doing really well with interpreting the bbt information you have. After a few cycles, hopefully a pattern will show and you'll know what's 'normal' for you.

if you have some OPKs i would only start using htem when you have CM that corresponds with the approach of O. ie wet, EWCM etc. this is when most ppl start as when you O can change from cycle to cycle so it's always a guessing game.

totally understand though if you dont want to go down that path! i never used them as i was confident of having O'd, but for some girls on here they used them as a guide to know if they were actually popping eggs (if there was some confusion).

wishing you all the best in your TWW! hoping you caught that eggie!!

Hi again Thank you! I'm really hopeful that my temps indicate o but I'm also unsure because of the slight dip in the last two days..? Fingers crossed. I guess it really is a waiting game. I just don't know whether to be hopeful as I would have thought the temps would have stayed high or even gone higher rather than drop slightly as they have in the last 2 days

I haaate the TWW lol I've had almost an 8WW since going off the pill so it's even worse!!
