My Chart is a HOT MESS!

Ok, so I planned to chart for three cycles (at a minimum) because I hadn't been charting. My first two charts were pretty standard. Temps consistent, a clear three day temp increase at O.

This is my chart for this cycle.


My Ovulation Chart

What the H is going on?

I'm temping at the same time every day. The open circle is because I woke up at 4:45 the other day because I was convinced my alarm had gone off. I took my temp, laid there for a few minutes, then got up to start the coffee. When I got to the kitchen I realized it was only 5 a.m. Damn! lol. I usually temp at 6:15. Even with that one off day, though, this is nuts, right?

Just wait another week. If the next couple days it goes up I'd guess you O'd. My chart looks like that sometimes. And month to month is always different. I'm usually up and down before I O, then up for awhile, have a little drop and then back up till AF comes. It's annoying but I just have sex from day 10-18 to be safe and not focus on the chart.

My charts would kind of do that, too. My temps might look like they were bouncing all over the place, but then in the end it was easy to see the temp shift overall.

The thing to remember about charting is that the main purpose is help to confirm that you did O. It's hard to not over-analyze each day, but the day to day info doesn't actually tell you much- it's the longer term graph that you have to look at.

Good luck!

Mine usually look like that too. It is maddening to interpret.

What do you think? Keep doing it, and assume I have not Od yet? Assume I am not going to? I wouldn't even be thinking about it if not for the + OPK on day 9. It's day 13....seems like if the OPK was right I'm at the end of my window.

I think you need a few more days to really know.  It is possible that you O'd on day 9 and day 8 and 11 are just messing w/ it looking pretty.  A few more days of temps should bring more clarity (maybe, lol).

I agree that you should go a few more days. If you get two or three more days above 97.0 I would say there is a good chance you O'd on day 9 or 10.
