Charting while bf'ing not trying
CAn you take a peek and see if you agree with FF?
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/b6bb3
ON the day that it says I O'd I did get *O* pains on my left side and had TONS of EWCM. But I am EXBF'ing my 2.5 month old(I always get my cycles early).
What do you think? Also, a side note, over the past 2.5 years I've never had a lp longer than 9 days except on a cycle I've gotten pg, but my others nursed way more frequently than Z does(when my chart says PM it means we protected...meaning used a raincoat). I've had lots of cramping and a drop in milk supply the last 2 days, as well as tender bb's.

Re: Charting while bf'ing not trying
It's hard to say. I'm curious about your low temps. Do all of your charts show low temps like that?
FF was looking at your cervix and cm. Did you put the O in on your last chart or is that FF gave you? Was that your pg chart?
Sorry, I'm not much help.

Re: Charting while bf'ing not trying
Yes, my temps are normally pretty low like that. The other chart was my first chart after having my 3rd, pre-ppaf. And FF put the crosshairs in there. You can always tell whether the charter or ff puts the crosshairs or O line in, because FF's lines are red, charters are blue 
I can put up a different chart for the 2nd one if you'd like to see another one!
Congrats by the way, on your NATURALLY concieved blessing!!!!!

Re: Charting while bf'ing not trying
ok, I was looking at my other charts, and my temps were a bit higher after my first ppaf came, more into the 97's, but still pretty low compared to the average tempers temps(that's a mouthfull,  )

Re: Charting while bf'ing not trying
Yeah, I should know the difference, but 99% of mine are forced lines so I don't pay much attention.
What were your cycles like before getting pg? Do you have charts from then? I'm horrible about reading bfing charts. Too many hormones affecting things.
My gut would wonder if you are ovulating on these charts, and if it's just breakthrough bleeding.
Thanks. I'll rest once I have my u/s to show all is ok.  It was a miracle and I'll keep hoping this miracle is here to stay!

Re: Charting while bf'ing not trying
Well, I know the chart on the bottom was an O, I had all the sxs, followed by a normal(but heavy)AF, but this chart, the sxs are less clear. The bleeding at the beginning of the chart is post pardum flow.
I never charted before being pg, but I did chart in between my 2nd and 3rd, and my 3rd and 4th, and the O was pretty obvious, that's why I tend to believe this chart is annovulatory, but I have seen some charts that end up pg and look like mine!
I'll go and put up a different chart up, so you can see it with a longer LP.

Re: Charting while bf'ing not trying
Hey Shannon
Just wanted to say that ITA w/ Nancy, PP BFing charts can be all over the place and sooo hard to read. Do you think you may TTC #5 soon or are you just trying to figure out your 1st PP AF??

Re: Charting while bf'ing not trying
Well, as much as I'm already starting to want to be pg again, I really, really want to lose this weight first, and I want to nurse baby for AT LEAST a year. I just keep feeling like I'm going to O or get AF anyday(TMI, but I am SO wet  I know, sorry), so I started charting and was suprised by an O line, especially since my charts are pretty cut and dry normally. After this morning's temp, I"m pretty sure that my chart is annov, but I guess we'll find out soon enough, eh?
Oh, and I'm thinking Late Dec 2007 to start NOT avoiding(as if we ever really avoid much  )
