I love charting and seeing what's going on but it's my first month temping and I really wish I had something to compare it to!!

WDYT of my chart?

So far it looks pretty good. Your temp seems to be going up and that's always a good thing. And you can check the chart gallery in FF, that always helps!

Good luck!!

I think you're doing a great job! It's great that your temps are still going up. For most of us, temps start dropping around 10-11 dpo, so if your temps stay up well past that, then things will be looking super good!

To be honest, I can't really see a clear ovulatory temp rise.... are you sure that you o'd? Do you typically have regular cycles?

You can also go to FF and compare your chart to others. I tend to find myself doing that quite a bit to see if there are pregnancy charts with temps like mine. =) GOOD LUCK!

I have to agree.

Charting is great but the thing that stinks is that it takes getting a few charts under your belt to get a pattern.

You're doing a great job, keep it up! The most important thing is to try and temp at the same time everyday.

At first when I got the cross hairs I wasn't sure but now that my temps are going up and up, I thought it was a pretty safe sign I had ovulated. I had tons and tons of EWCM and a very low cervix, we'll see. What makes you think it doesn' t look like an O? (Honestly curious, I'm new to this!!)

I generally have very regular cycles of about 30-31 days - the last two cycles have been longer and maybe every 5 months or so I'd have a longer cycle - generally it's regular though.

It is great that the temp is staying up. Hopefully that trend will continue.

Are you sure you didn't O on cd 18? I have a slow rise most of the time, but my temps never get sky high either. I think your chart is looking very good!

I don't think so because my cervix was still very high, but I could be wrong. However the day of ovulation on the chart I had a ton of EWCM leading up and my cervix was very low and open.

FF gave me crosshairs on the day after the chart shows, but I changed them to Sunday because I was so confident on the date.

Ok - off to bed (excited for bed to see what my temp is in the morning, what a geek )

Oh and I do temp at the exact same time every morning, I set my alarm for five am and either temp and then get up if it's a work day or temp and roll back over to sleep if I am not working.

The days with no temp or discarded temps are days I couldn't take it at 5am.

It isn't that I don't think that you o'd, it is just harder to tell for sure since your temps are kind of eratic.... since you are having pretty regular cycles, than I would assume that you are o'ing. Since your temps are progressively getting higher, it is probably safe to assume that you have o'd, it is just difficult to determine exactly when.

I'm not sure if you temp orally or vaginally, but I've found that my temps are much more consistent temping vaginally. HTH

Best of Luck!!!!! I hope you caught that eggie!!!

I temp orally but actually plan on starting vaginally next cycle if we're not pg.
