Chart stalk please...

My Ovulation Chart

Was all that spotting an insanely early AF or do I have reason to simply hate my body? (Answer: I simply hate my body)

Re: Chart stalk please...

  • I'm going to say that it wasn't AF simply because yes your temp went down but then it went right back up, and it still is. If it was AF it should at least be down lower in general, like it was prior to what it is showing, before your ovulation date. 

    Based on the consistency of they high temps in your LP I'm going to say that your O date is correct. 

    What is your normal/average LP length?  I was going to ask if you had tested but saw you had so I'm not sure what to think either..

  • I agree with Alise, the spotting doesn't appear to have been AF. Also looking at your last chart it looks like you had post-O spotting then too. This LP is looking like its sitting at about 18 DPO right now, last cycle looks like it was 15 days. And, according to your chart you last tested at 15 DPO. I'd test again tomorrow if there's no AF or temp drop tomorrow morning. And maybe ask your doctor about the seemingly regular/chronic post-O spotting.

  • Thanks girls! I'm completely stumped. All of my tests are coming back negative and nothing has changed.

    I already called my doctor about the spotting and they want me to chart another month or until there is a BFP to come in and get blood work done. Of course, that was last week. My plan is to re-test wednesday (20 DPO) and call the doctor about it at that point.

    I'm just annoyed at this point.

  • I hear ya. FF could have just been screwy though and you could have O'd a few days later than its saying too, especially since now it's giving you dotted crosshairs and your temps are up and down quite a bit. Just curious what BBT do you have? There are some I've heard that are better than others and the "rocky" charts can be indicative of the BBT not being the greatest.

  • I'm sorry that things are so confusing, I hope you can get in to see your Dr sooner rather than later and get some answers!!

  • I've given up pretending I know what is going on. I'm making an appointment this week.
