What the..?

I'm totally confused this cycle. Because I still am not producing CM on my own, it's difficult to chart. So I'm going by the online calendar (I know, I know... I can't put everything into the chart) and I'm supposedly in my fertile window right now.

My LMP was April 3rd. My cycles are 28-days on average. Based on that, I should ovulate on or about April 15th... and yet MyMonthlyCycles is telling me I'll ovulate on or around April 20th! That's almost an entire week of difference. Obviously we'll BD straight through to maybe the 23rd.

I have tingly bbs right now and cramping (but that never really goes away for me... and yet I don't have PCOS or endo.). Arg!!! I thought my body would DO SOMETHING this cycle. And DH has been AWOL for most of this time and I really wish he'd commit to BDing. He'd rather play VIDEO GAMES...

This question turned into a vent.

My question is this: DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE I Oed SOONER? Last cycle my period was 2 weeks late and we all know that our LMP does not determine when we O next. I'm hoping I ovulated right after AF left because I feel different. But I can't put much stock into that! Ha! Since every month I swear I'm preggo.

Have you tried using OPK's? I tried charting, checking my CM, and just wasn't successful so my doc told me to try using clear blue easy's digital ovulation test because it gives you a smiley face when you're ovulating. This is the second month of me trying that & we got a smiley face last friday so now it's just the waiting game. Just wanted to share another option in predicting O. Good luck!

My testing date is April 28th-May 4th. Because last cycle was longer, MyMonthlyCycles averaged my cycles out to be 31 days instead of 28. So I'm not sure if this cycle will be shorter or longer. Just when you think you're regulating, something happens! LOL!

Oh... I went upstairs! I used my womanly ways. I feel much better knowing that we got some BDing in before it might be too late. Y'all are probably like, "Why is she back on here?" If you read my post "Bummed" you'll see why. I suddenly remembered my blog friend was supposed to POAS today so I ran down here. That's why I'm back! But I need to go get ready for the day as we're shopping and then we have a dinner at a friend's house.

Thank you for your info. tarajanes!!!

waitn, I got preggo after my loss. Sounds like you may have Oed. But sometimes that CM will come back... if you notice EWCM again, make sure you BD because the LAST day of EWCM is the actual day you ovulate. CM can come and go, so keep a watchful eye out, okay?! I want to see a BFP from you! Maybe we'll be preggo together this time around!

hey there

i honeslty believe i O'd really early this cycle...CD10 actually...CD9 i noticed EWCM and again 1/2 way through CD10 and then nothing since...but my last cycle was 36 days and since it was my first since my D&E im think technically my body is right on schedule but my days are wacky

i also know for sure that i tend to O earlier in my cycle and before my mc my cycles were typically 27 days...so it is possible to O earlier

best of luck to you :)

when is your testing date? I'm thinking 5/3 for me (2 months since my loss)

Okay well if we didn't catch the egg this month then I'll try the Robitussin! The pre-seed is just really expensive so I didn't buy it, not to mention I forgot it... AGAIN! I just don't think of these things until last minute. I hoped my body was going to do what it was supposed to this cycle so I keep holding out on the pre-seed.

Well we've BD every other day but we didn't last night because he "felt pressured" and doesn't like it when I tell him "it's time". ??? What the heck ever! I SHAVED MY LEGS and was trying to be all sexy and he still rejected me. I feel like cussing, so you know how mad I really am!

Hey girl...im not knowledgeable just read alot of books...its highly unlikely you ovulated earlier since you have regular cycles of 28 days.since your last period was late you know you ovulated later,unless your body is producing more estrogen,in which case it will trigger an abrubt surge of lh.causing the egg to burst...my dates for you o'ing would be from the 13th through to the 18th.based on a normal cycle,but i would do as you suggested head up till the 23rd...

Joy i had problems with cm,you can try a medicine called guaifenesin,its for chesty coughs,availble any chemist,tastes disgusting but honestly it works..never had so much cm,take 2 teaspoons twice a day followed by glass of water,you will notice difference in no time.

have you not been using preseed lately just a thought but mabay using it has slowed down your natural cm i think i have heared that somewhere before and as your last period was so late maybe this one will be also so maybe you are just going to ovulate later just keep trying every other night for the next few weeks dont let your husband go anywhere and hide his video games this is your month you decerve it good luck

Joy just BD EVERY OTHER DAY (I think everyday will make you tired. lol)

You obviously can still O' if you don't produce CM. Try primrose oil, it's supposed to boost CM, also try Robutessin(sp?) that does it too.

I was reading all about it when I was trying to get DH to TTC in Dec...lol, see how that worked for me. (I actually was taking Benadryl at the time and that **** dries you out)... Guess his little buggers were DETERMINED

well i know absolutely NOTHING lol but ill comment anyway! seems like it would come sooner (O) when you have a late period, to make sure that your next period runs on time and gets you back on schedule. and thats just because i saw you wrote one time that your next AF would be determined by when you O. lol make whatever sense you can out of that! i was kinda wondering about my ovulation too, i started to get the CM a day before my husband came home, is it possible i was still within my fertile window in enough time???
