Need some help with charting......

not to TTC but for contraception and just because I like to know whats going on with my bod!!


I track my period through FF simply because DH and I use withdrawal method as contraception and this way I know when my fertile times are...however I think it is way off...

I have a 31 day cycle, FF tells me my fertile time is between CD 13 and CD 17 but is it possible that I ovulate around CD 20-24?? The last 2 months I have felt like I ovulate really really late, and had had EWCM around this time, as well as some cramping, tummy pains etc. Is there anything I can look for?? Not sure temping would work for me because I am lazy and absentminded, especially in the morning. :rofl:

Not sure what advice anyone can give really just wondering if this would be normal or not! I have never really understood my cycle until after I had my kids.

TIA!

It's possible you're ovulating later. To use the thermo-symto method for contraceptions, I recommend you temp for at least 3-6 months. I temp from about cd7 until a week after O but I have temped for years so know my cycle well. I also get EWcM after O so I dont depend on just that as a sign.

Personally, I'm coming to rely more on the O pain as temping is a PITA when not TTc.
