I am sucking at temping this time around

[bigapple]

I tried tempting (to prevent) before and could never get a baseline. Mine were all over the place all cycle, even when I consistently took it at the same te each morning.

Don't worry, just have a lot of sex and you'll hit your ovulation date.

Trudy gives good advice. :-)

Mine all all wonky too. I wake up a gazillion times a night thinking "OMG I need to temp!!" and it's like 1-2 am. Then when it's actually time to temp I forget and just lay there for a few minutes than think "Oh crap!". My chart looks awful.

I know, but I really want to know when I ovulate to minimize the crazy during the latter half of my cycle! If it doesn't work out this cycle, I'll probably try the stupid ovulation strips again, even though I hate them.

also to minimize the sex right?!

I feel like I've been royally screwed over by my late ovulation this month, forced to have twice as much sex as I feel should have been necessary. i believe we've had sex EIGHT TIMES. A regular week in the @pcloadletter household perhaps but as a monthly total (Because I plan to cut him off now..lol) it ranks pretty high for us. ha.

I want to see your charts!!

[laurack]

actually it was seven times for us.

I am putting it into fertility friend, but I'm not temping just adding the sex records and the +opk

Its saying that today is 1DPO, not 2DPO. I guess its the day after the +opk they count as ovulation day? Blah.

@tambcat what cycle day are you on?

I'm only on CD9, so so far it's just this:



Please note the high stress from a weekend of eating meals with Joanna. (lol, j/k. Well, yeah, but also from a family wedding with the in-laws and 6 hours trapped in a Honda Fit with H, baby, and dog on Sunday.)

?? here I see what looks like my chart?!
