Doesn't really look like you did. Aren't the temps supposed to stay up a while after ovulation?

It could be that since you didn't temp it didn't give you a good chart. I would go with the EWCM as far as ovulation goes. I know how you feel about the whole pregnancy issue. I see women who are getting pregnant who aren't trying and those who get pregnant first cycle. It's been 10 months since my miscarriage and we've been trying since. It only took us 10 months to get pregnant last time but I know each time is different. So you're not alone with this. I'm gonna start charting this cycle. Waiting for AF to arrive in about 5 days. I hope it comes because I was taking metformin and I could have possibly messed it up. I hope not. How long have you been charting? If you want you can message me any other charts you have I can look at them for you.

I will prob use CD17 as my Ov day. We've been TTC since this past February, but have REALLY been TTC the last 3 months.

Yes, and that's why I think CD17 is when I actually Ov. But because I didn't temp on CD17, and I woke up an hour early in CD11, FF can't give me an accurate reading. I guess I will assume because of all the other signs, that is Ov on CD17.

We've been trying since January. I miscarried in December and I ovulated two weeks after the miscarriage so we've been trying since. I've had some problems since then. I've had to have a 5.6cm cyst removed from my right ovary which I think messed up my ovulation some. I also got on metformin which I think may have cause more problems because now I didn't get a positive opk this cycle (the first on metformin). I've gotten strong positives in the past so maybe I shouldn't have gotten on the meds. I am getting off of them though. I will see what next cycle holds. My doc said if I don't have a positive opk by December to call and she'll do a CD21 blood test to see if I am ovulating or not. I don't want to have to depend on fertility meds to get pregnant. Didn't need it last time. So I will do the opks and chart from this month til December and see. So I'll have had three months of charting when I call her so she can see my charts too.

Good luck mama!!! The only thing I did differently this cycle was take Mucinex for the 5-6 days during my fertile window. The day after I stopped it (CD17), I had SOOO much EWCM!

I thought mucinex is supposed to dry up mucus and break it up instead of create it? I know a lot of others take Robotussin too. I'm not sure which. Which one did you take. The original or one of the newer ones that came out. They have like 3 or 4 different kinds now. At this point I'll do anything to help me. I am just tired of the pills getting shoved down my throat. I haven't really had EWCM much so I think once I see I'm getting positives on opks I will buy some preseed.

I took the regular Mucinex with JUST guaifenesin. I took 600mg in the am and again in the pm. I've read some using Robitussin, but some of other ingredients can dry you up. As long as the ONLY active ingredient, it won't dry you up. And I tell you, I noticed a HUGE difference after taking it for a day. My CM was better this cycle than any other cycle!

I'm gonna have to go by Wal-Mart and find some. I don't even know if I'm ovulating so before doing any of that stuff I need to find out if I am or not. I don't know if I was sick when we got preggo that I could have been taking meds that could have given me more EWCM. I can't remember that far back but I do know it didn't take us long once we started BDing every other night and that was all we were doing. We were also walking everyday or every other day for exercise. I didn't even have time to lose weight. I was pregnant the month after we started this.

Well good luck and keep at it!   <3

Thank you! How long have you been ttc? I forgot to look. You know sometimes, it seems like we've been trying forever and it's only been 10 months while other women especially some who don't need or even want another child get pregnant out of nowhere and quickly. Last night I found out this girl I know is pregnant again. She doesn't even have her first child most of the time. Every time I see on FB she is leaving her with a sitter or her grandma so her and her husband can do whatever. I mean damn. I go to work, come home and do homework and housework and homework with my son when he gets home from school. I never go out. We have a stable home and a great marriage. So why is it that those of us who have the resources and want the children can't seem to have them but the crack whores and bar whores who never take care of their present children get pregnant right after they have the last. I'm sorry I just had to vent! LOL. I'm better now.

We ahve been TTC since Feb '12, but have REALLY been trying the last 3 cycles. I know how you feel. I actually got really upset and cried because TWO of my friends just announced their pregnancies..... And they were NOT trying!

My cousin just had her daughter a month ago and her sister is 12 weeks I think. She lost a set of twins right after I lost DJ. In a way I'm hurt and jealous but in a way I'm not because she lost babies too. My cousin who just had her daughter I can't be hurt because she was always told she would never have a child on her own because she has endometriosis and PCOS so she got it twice as bad. It took her sister 5 years to get pregnant again (the twins). Her daughter and my son are a month apart so it took us both 5 years to get pregnant again. She has no medical issues that stopped her she just had trouble for no reason. I still don't know what the hell my problem is. I'm just hoping I get a positive opk this cycle coming up and the metformin didn't mess me up instead of helping. I am not taking them tonight or any other night until my doctor says otherwise. I hope it doesn't take too long for you to conceive. It seems like we've pretty much been trying for the same amount of time except we started right after the miscarriage in December. It was the beginning of January when we started. I really at least want to conceive from now until March of next year. I want a winter baby. My 5 year old is a January baby but I want a December baby. I don't know why but I do for some reason. But God will give us a baby when he feels we're ready for it not a moment sooner.

Yeah, it will happen when the time is perfect. <3 So sorry about all the losses! I can't imagine how painful that must be. :c Have you been to a specialist yet? I wonder if they can run any blood tests? Maybe have your husband get checked out too? Def keep up with the exercise and healthy diet.
