    Unhappy SO Confused!!

    OMG! I am SO confued! I have been charting my temp for a while now. But i don't know how to read my chart. I can't tell you when my period is due or how long my cycle is cos i only get one every six months, or maybe three, or maybe a year. Depending on what my ovaries are thinking at the time!!
    I have done this chart, but i don't really understand it! My temp is on the rise and hasn't dropped at all! I did a preg test on 10DPO which was a BFN but the temp hasn't dropped... isn't it meant to drop?

    Can one of you lovely ladies have a look and see if you can make any sense of it?

    I should also add, from 9DPO to about 12DPO I had really tender nipples and itchy as well! Just the tip though, they looked so swollen and red, but the area around hasn't changed colour. And i have been oh SO moody the past two days! Unbelievable amounts! (Poor DF). My bbs have also been very heavy! Today the most heaviest i have ever felt! And i have been getting lower back ache for two days and the odd cramps around the front. I usually get back ache around the time i am meant to get a period, but i never bloody get one!! So frustrating!!

    Hi Miss Kris,

    First things, don't stress!!! FF becomes a lot more user friendly once you get the hang of it

    Secondly, you'll need to set up your chart home page, because when I click on the link you've provided, it just goes to the FF homepage. So, click on CHART > HOMEPAGE SET UP (just above your little calendar).. once this page opens, you'll see a notice: Your Charting Home Page Web Address: with a link below... if you copy that into your post we'll be able to have a look at your chart...

    Ta, Nic

    Ok, that's better!!

    Is it possbile you O'd on CD15 (when you had the EWCM)?? I only say that because in your symptoms you've noted that your bb's have been tender and heavy since CD15... I know on my last cycle, FF had my O day on CD11 because I had a temp rise, but I knew that I hadn't O'd because my boobs hadn't gotten sore.

    Your temp normally only drops once AF is ready to show up... IMO, I think you O'd on or around CD15-16 and are only 5DPO... that's just my opinion though...

    So you don't have a clear idea of when you'r AF is due? Could you maybe go to the doctor and get a BT to see if you've O'd??

    Sorry... I wasn't a great deal of help was I

    No you did help! I was so confused though because i did a OPK around that time and it said positive, but i did one about a week and half before that and it was positive aswell! My body is so stupid some days! lol! Hence why i am so confused!

    OPKs are so tricky to use... I've been using them for the last couple of months but only got my first true POSITIVE this morning!! For a long time I thought as long as there is a 2nd line, it's a pos - just like HPTs... it's taken me ages to realise the 'darkness' of the 2nd is what counts!!

    Have you done the charting course on FF?? It's a time consuming, but it helped me heaps when I first started...

    Kind of, i have read them all etc but haven't done the tests at the end. I am still unsure whether i want to sign up to the VIP. My doc reackons i will need Clomid to get me going, but we are trying natural until after the wedding then we will look into clomid etc. I should chart then too shouldn't i? That will help with working out when i O'd... hmmm... If i get a VIP membership then i will do the course...sorry for the rant! lol
    I forgot to say on my other thing, i never ever get tender nipples or boobs, they get heavy, but not tender and sore. But they haven't gotten any more tender, just stayed the same and then don't itch as much...

    Update

    Ok, so last night i went to the toilet and when i wiped i seen a little bit of brown blood (sorry if TMI), i did it twice, and then once before bed. But this morning NOTHING! Grr!
    I even had AF cramps. Today i have had mild cramps on and off, nothing too big.

    For say we did concieve, would this be implantation bleeding? My bbs are not as itchy or sore today. But last night there was a real dull ache that was very uncomfortable in my chest.

    WDYT?
