How is the charting going for everyone?
The summer is sooo much harder for me when it comes to charting. I don't know if it because I am not on a set schedule, or if it is because I am up later at night? All I know is that my charts are more inconsistent and all over the place as compared with other times of the year.
Do you find that your charting in more inconsistent during different cycles?

This is only my 2nd cycle charting, and I am confused this time around. Last month I o'd on cd 22, and then had a 12 day LP, this month I o'd on cd 16, and I am already on my 14th day of LP, with no af in sight. my temp dropped yesterday to about 0.2 degrees above coverline, so I just knew af would be here, but today it went back up to 0.4 degrees above coverline, and no af still. I wasn't confident in our BDing this month, since we weren't expecting such an early o, but now I am starting to wonder if it could be?.....

Hi Babyplease,
Elizabeth
Sounds like you could be getting a BFP this cycle!! Many women see a dip for one day and then a jump back up in their temps...and these women are often pregnant! Crossing my fingers and toes for you!!!!!!!!!! Keep us updated!!!!!

well, it seems like as soon as i convinced myself that this could be my month, af showed up this morning. and the cruel thing is that my temp even went up 0.1 degree from yesterday, so i took my temp and saw it went up, got all excited and went into the bathroom to test, and bam, there she was.
what a let down...just like every other month! i guess the good thing is that maybe my lp is getting longer from the vitamin b6 i have been taking, and a 14 day lp is really good, so i am all set for this cycle, i am pulling all the tricks outa the bag this month

So far my charting has me a bit confused as well, although enlightened. I used to be able to always count that my cycles were 28-29 days long.... however I was also counting them wrong so I am learning all over again! LOL. My first month charting I had the shortest cycle i have EVER had... 26 days... then 29 days, now I'm on CD 30. My LP has so far NOT been the same. First month, 13 days, last month, 15 days, this month I'm on 14 so AF MAY come tomorrow I am thinking. I have been known to occassionally have a longer cycle, and since I had a few bouts of major stress this month, O'ing late, I am fully anticipating this. HOWEVER, I have NEVER had such AF cramps without a flow in my life. I know I am starting AF as soon as I get the cramps. IF Af does come tomorrow, I am going to be even more confused as to why all of a sudden my body feels the need to constantly cause me pain!!! LOL. The cramping has lessened a great deal today, but is minor. I honestly feel like I am having AF with no flow. Its the weirdest thing. I'll keep updating though.... ??? My chart has been showing a slow decline in temps though, with one little bump up, and then holding steady around 98.00 degrees only adjusting by .0 something..... ex: 98.01, 98.09, 97.95 If I round, its all around 98.00 degrees so we'll see.... the waiting game continues. I am really starting to hope this is my month as I really don't want to go to all these baby showers this weekend with AF. She is not invited!!
