As a total lurker/newb, can I ask questions? This is my first cycle charting so I just would like to discuss some things -- you guys have all the body knowledge.
I am on CD 37 with no sign of cross hairs. My temps have been all over the place, but I am thinking (hoping?) it's due to my not exactly consistent temping times. I temp vaginally, I don't get up first, but I have temped anywhere between 4 and 6 am (I sometimes wake up before my alarm).
I've been checking my CM, and feel as though I have seen a very clear pattern. If I wasn't temping, I would say that I ovulated on CD 30. My temps definitely do not line up with that, though.
So I guess my specific questions are:
1. Do you think I should go with my CM and say I ovulated, since I might not have been 100% accurate with my temps?
2. Can you feel PMS symptoms with no ovulation?
3. If I bleed without getting crosshairs, is there any way to tell the difference between a period or "breakthrough" bleeding?
4. Could being overweight (which may cause an increase in estrogen and therefore CM) be causing my increasingly fertile CM with no temp shift to confirm O?
Also, I've peed on approximately a million OPKs and have never even seen the faintest hint of a line, so I quit those. The blank window was just too depressing.
Andplusalso, I was on Depo for 6 years, switched to BCP last May, stopped all birth control last September. Didn't see AF until March, had 3 "normal" 28 day cycles, then my last cycle was 51 days.
TIA for all of the wonderfulentertainment knowledge I'm sure to get!
