[No2WhereAreYou]

my bbt is like this....

cd22 35.6 cd23 35.4 cd 24 36.4,

then it goes all over the place cd 26 35.8, cd27,28 36.5 cd29 and 31 at 35.6 then cd32 35.8, cd33 36.4 cd34 36.

Does this seem weird? there were nights with disturbed sleep, but all taken around same time in a.m

[No2WhereAreYou]

was ov on day 24???

[giveitago]

I pm'd you

OHMIGOSHNESS.............

Fertility friend said they could not identify an ovulation pattern so I couldn't enter anymore after cd 30. ohh man!!! I am getting frustrated:geek:

I know I used a BBT then a normal thermometer, as BBT broke. maybe thats it? or maybe I dodn't even O this month for some reason. doh!

Hi,
i have started using fertility friend too... And it says to not use a normal thermometer just a BBT... so that must be it, as the other ones are not accurate..... once your temperature rises it should stay risen until you get your period.... it seems as though yours has risen hard to see without a graph.. but perhaps you ovulated on cd24??? As temp has risen from then on - but its kind of all over the place (or is it suppose to be like that) IMO i think it might be that you were using a normal thermometer??

[No2WhereAreYou]

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. I went to the Chemist last night and brought a BBT digital thermometer.I used it against a mercury thermometer (not BBT type) and there was about 4 degrees difference! :rolleyes:

[mummynow]

I'm sorry No2WhereAreYou - when you emailed me the file it wouldn't open on my computer. It said it didn't recognise the file or the program or something :geek:

I'm not a fan of fertility friend either as I had similar problems due to my irregular cycles over the past few years even though thats better now the FF system is taking into consideration all my old data and making a mess of things. So I use mycycle instead.

I didn't realise you were using a mercury thermometer - Good thing you got the BBT one. It's really the only accurate way to do it.

Good Luck :fingerscrossed:

[plumptobump]

I agree that the bbt will most likely iron out some of those temps, but at the moment its sounding like an anov cycle (so far anyway)...I had temps like that (ie, all over the place) when I wasnt o'ing. It doesnt mean you wont o...just likely you havent yet. Let us know how you go with the bbt therm...

Good luck! :)

[No2WhereAreYou]

Hi Mummynow,
I'm sorry! I read your email and forgot to ask hubby about changing the file for you!

PlumptoBump- I am hoping I didn't have an Anov cycle, but who knows??? I worked out about day 16 is when the thermometer broke and I started using a mercury one.

How Do I find out if it was an anov cycle? Will I still get my period?

I had blood tests and a u/s done last month as I have been having spotting in between periods, but they said my bloods were good and my ovaries were great!

I have been having tugging in the naval area which happend about 4 days prior to menses with me, and my feet are a little sore too.

[plumptobump]

You can only tell it was an anov cycle in hindsight. Technically, you can O really late in your cycle (I o'd on cd60 when I got pg with ds!), so if you dont O and get your af (yes, that is very possible and very common), you will THEN know it was anov! :) How are your temps now? Glad to hear all went well with your tests...that must be a relief!

Oh no!!! If I o'd this late, which I suppose I have I think we may have missed our chance:(

[No2WhereAreYou]

I only b'd day 31 and 34 :(

[giveitago]

You have to go into 'Sharing' then 'home page setup". When you post your chart link it should look like this http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1d54f4

You need the numbers and letters at the end

Give it a go you have helped me out once again... thank you :)

i am confused, i thought ov would have been cd 33, but its saying 35?

[giveitago]

The reason that it has chosen that day is because you have had three temps since then that have been above your coverline. Your coverline is the horizontal red line. The vertical red line represents O. As you continue charting and enter your CM and CP the red line should no longer be dotted and be a full line. The dots are because ff has only determined O by your temps, where it is used to relying on your cevix position, your cervical mucous and possibly OPK's if you use them.

[No2WhereAreYou]

Thanks give it a go.
I have stopped with the cervix feeling, my doc said she's never heard anything so stupid! LOL.
My BBT has been all over the place due to different thermometers used for my charting. I asked a friend if a normal mercury one was ok after my last ov therm broke, and she said there's no difference. oops. shouldn't have listened LOL
I am on cd 38, no positive hpt or pregnancy symptoms. So far longest cycle has been 45 days, looks like I will hit a new world record now :(

[plumptobump]

I agree with FF on this one...its really hard to be certain though without cm recorded. As for your dr saying cervical position is stupid, well I would have to say SHES stupid! Some cycles I cant tell by cm when I have o'd, but usually can by my cervix position, texture, etc. Sometimes I just wish drs would stick to what they know and shut up about the rest!

ANYWAY, you are good if you bd'd cd34....

[No2WhereAreYou]

LOL!!! I agree to plumptobump

I am more confident Ovulation was on cd 34 now ladies... negative HPT and no sign of AF so that probably explians it!

[No2WhereAreYou]

I am sorry to hear that. Is this number 1 for you? how long have you been TTC?
This is number one (TTC) for us, after a miscarriage last june.
We fell preg one month after TTC and lost it. this is now our 5th month of TTC again and I can't believe it's taking this long

[giveitago]

Since OCT 07 for us.

Had a m/c about 6 years ago though.

So know I can get preggers at least

[No2WhereAreYou]

Im sorry about that.

We are the same age, so we have youth on our side... LOL

Where do you live? I'm in Bris Vegas :wave:
