not sure whats up with my temps...

[JennaJayen]

Ok, so I've had reasonably flat temps over a period of about 5 days with only one big dip at CD8, and no other big dips or rises since like I normally do.

I had wet CM that was a bit like EWCM (but not quite the same as EWCM) as soon as AF finished on CD6, and it lasted until CD10, which was very odd as I've never had wet or EWCM at that stage of my cycle before, it usually comes up between CD12 and CD17

My normal cycle length is anywhere between 27 and 33 days long, although it has been averaging 27-31 days the last few cycles.

I'm now at CD14 with no sign that O is on it's way like I normally do.

I've had cramping but it's more like just a general niggly-type cramp, not O cramps, and it can be anywhere from around the general area's of the ovaries to low in my pelvis.
Although on Thursday afternoon/evening I had 2 really big bad cramps, very similar to the contractions you get when you're in the middle of labour where my whole lower abdo clenched up for approx 10 seconds and I had the most excruciating pain (it happened twice in an hour and then never happened again, just had niggly cramps again for the rest of the evening).

I used an OPK on CD9 which was almost a Positive (just slightly lighter than the control line) and another one on CD10 which was a definate Negative, which makes me think I O'd early, but I have had no other things that make me think that that has happened.

And FF doesn't think I have O'd either.

I have also checked my thermometer which is perfectly fine, no flat battery or anything, so thats not the cause of my flat temps.

So anyway, I'm just wondering what other people think? My chart is in my sig if anyone wants to have a look at it.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Hun. I had a look at your chart, tbh I wouldn't worry too much about he flat temps, there's still a little bit of variation in them and as you know it's the overall pattern that develops that matters the most. Are you using a 2 decimal place thermometer? You'll find that where your temps just look up down up down right now, a 2 place thermometer would not look so jolty. I would be scratching my head over the contraction type pains, how weird! Perhaps you had a super O this month lol I just noticed that FF has predicted you will O between the 13th and the 16th, so still some time left

p.s. If you wanna see a REALLY ridiculously flat chart to make yourself feel better, look at mine lol. I'm in for a lonnnnng cycle this month! and that's with 2 DECIMAL PLACES!! Imagine if I had1, it would just be a big straight line lol.

[JennaJayen]

Aww darl, you always find a way to make me feel better, and your temps are pretty flat too

I use a 1 decimal place thermometer, as when I O, it is really noticable in my temps lol
It just seems odd though, I've only ever had flat temps before when it's after O, pre O is always up and down by at least 0.3 almost every day lol
I'm hoping it's just an early O and I'm utd though lol

[PumpkinZulu]

Ooooh I hope so

JennaJayen: I dont think you need to worry yet.. Just monitor your CM cos when that drys up they say O has finished. If you dont have much EWCM try drinking extra water..

My chart was crap! and FF told me they didnt think I o'd.. Wrong!! Just enjoy and make suer you as much as you can in the next few days..

[JennaJayen]

Eng - Thanks darl, I have been drinking heaps of water lately, I'm just so thirsty all the time atm, 2.5-3.5 litres a day so far! And the wet/ewcm has all dried up now, so I just don't know what's going on anymore.
