I have no clue as to share my charts and according to FF i should have ov on the 12th 13th n 14th according to ivillage and the apps i have on my phone i should be ov from 16th to the 22nd of this month

would love to upgrade to a full account but with the wedding 4 months away im not sure if i should

i am still getting ew cm so were still bding and were having fun with it

i watched a program on dmax last night called i'm pregnant and anorexic i ended up getting really down tellin oh im never gonna be a mom, went to bed without our nightly hug or kiss and when he said u know i feel rubbish cause im not working i replied with good welcome to my sodding world

do i need to give it up as something i am never going to experience and just stop sex all together im known as nikkyc on FF btw if people wanna add me

Neither of your charts are showing ovulation. When it thinks you have ov'd it will add a red cross on to the graph and show you as DPO instead of CD. Due to you putting in that you have EWCM it is saying you are in a fertile phase hence the green squares at the bottom.

Your May cycle looks strange to me, like the temps are inaccurate, theres a pattern every few days where the temps are all the same as the week before. You've also got flat temps 3 days on the trot in this cycle, I know you said you have a brand new thermometer but you shouldn't be getting flat temps, have you tried changing the battery in your thermometer? How do you take your temp? Orally, under the armpit or vaginally? Do you take it as soon as you wake up on a morning or do you do things before hand like have a drink or go for a wee etc.

Last month i had the flu hence the weird temps as my body was fighting that bug off.

I also find some nights i dont sleep some nights so i have to sleep longer to get the three hrs of not moving out of bed hece the weird wake up times,
i wake up and i roll over in my bed and take my temp as i sleep alone apart from a cat i normally end up fighting her to get under the pillows on the opposite side of the bed, i take my temp orally, by sticking the thermomiter under my tongue like u get done at the hospital, so by my charts i am not ovulating at all?

egg white cm is the clear stringly liquid right or is that the sticky mucus and the eg is when it is white ???

if that is so i have got that wrong too!!! see i even fail at charting :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

increased estrogenin your bloodstream as your body prepares for ovulation causes the cervic to produce fluid which becomes increasingly wet and slippery, like raw egg white

is what i have at the moment so am i approaching ovulation, i will get a new battery for the thermomiter next time i get paid but i think i have the days the same as i was not sleeping that well and didnt take my temp at the same time each day, i normally try for 10:30am but the days that i got the same i took at 11:45 so an hr and 15 mins later

if you had the flu that might be why May looks so strange and doesn't show ovulation, my first month of temping and charting looked erratic because i had a stomach bug and my temps went haywire.

Perhaps you could try setting an alarm so that you take your temp at the same time everyday regardless of the amount of sleep you've had as this should hopefully make your charts more reliable, you can always go back to sleep after.

If you look on the first page of the thread there is a link to show you what the different types of cm look like.

It's not that your definitely not ovulating, it's possible that you do but because of the times and differences between when you take your temp that FF isn't able to detect that pattern. Do you use OPK's at all either?

i tried opk's 3 months back and my oh and i worked out the day we should test wrong we didnt get a smiley face at all and we used up all the sticks and couldnt find a place locally that sold them so gave them up. OH has a thing about buying from a shop for these things instead of online

will start with an alarm to make sure i get temps that are consistant, i did my temp this morning at 10:20am so will keep it at that.
I thought you had to have been in bed for 3 hrs though before you test, i get up in the night for wees else i get the feeling of cystitus and then i have to drink bottles and bottles of water to get her back to normal

thank you for the help

atton83

if i bought some opk's off amazon wud it b best to wait till next month t start testing, i know i am askin alot of questions, so sorry about that
