Hey MrsMC - LOL about having 2 kids already and not knowing what you are doing! That is perfectly normal, particulary when coming off contraception. Firstly, your chart looks good. Although the temps are a bit over the place, the OPKs, CM, cramping and so on all seem to fit. It is unlikely that you didn't "o", it is probably not that clear on the chart on account of the temp-taking issues you mentioned.
I had a GF very similar to you, came off the IUD, and was charting (was her 3rd time too) and her temps were all over the place. Her DH wakes up early to go to work so she would sort of wake up but had trouble taking temperature. Then later when she woke up and took it it gave weird readings on the chart.
Having said all that, she got a BFP on a cycle that said she hadn't even "o"d.
Therefore go with the other symptoms. Dont' worry about the cramping and twinges. I think this is partially the egg follicle doing its thing - secreting LH I think in case of implantation. You will be more sensitive to these niggles because 1 you are trying and 2 you have just come off BC so there will be new changes.
I am not sure if I have helped, other than to say good luck! If you don't catch the egg this time, it looks as if everything is working nicely anyway so hopefully it wont take long!
Thanks so much for your reply Dragonbub, its nice to have some encouragement! I post on another smaller board run by a friend and there is no-one else TTC there and my posts don't get read!!
I am so sure I have O'd, my body is saying it did, so I will go with that for the time being LOL.
Temping has been so frustrating for me!! Tonight I think I will try sneaking to the guest room in the early hours and trying to sleep peacefully there from 2-6am, it might help.
