BBT Chart Help - 15DPO & no sign of AF

[MintGreenLife]

Just wondering if someone can have a glance at my chart and offer up their opinion.

I'm 15DPO and have no sign of AF plus I don't feel like it's coming at all. This is my third cycle off the pill. As you can see from my chart I ovulated really late - I think I'm on around CD50 now. I've done several tests and all BFN. The only slightly confusing thing is that I had EWCM for several days after my temperature spiked. I've questioned whether maybe I ovulated later, but then my temp spike was so clear, and from research the 2 dips do connect with having a fallback rise (usually happens 2DPO) and a corpus lutuem dip (usually 5DPO). If someone could cast their eyes over this that would be great. My first two cycles off the pill I had a very short luteal phase, so not sure how long it usually is, but would have thought AF would have arrived by now?!

Should have said I also had EWCM in the run up to ovulation too

Anyone?

Hmm, I would say it looks more like you ovulated CD 41? In which case you might find AF arrives in the next few days? Your last temp drop suggests it might be on its way? If you had EWCM around CD 36 that would suggest I'm wrong though!

I'm not an expert by any means, just my thoughts!

@MGee123 I did wonder that as I carried on getting EWCM for another 4-5 days after ovulation! I had it on and off for about two weeks before that too 🤦🏻‍♀️ I guess my body was trying for a long time and was never quite getting there. Will be annoying if it was CD41 as we stopped DTD as I thought I ovulated 5 days earlier. Only day we did DTD after when I thought I ovulated was actually CD41! I guess I could possibly be 10DPO then, but I feel like that doesn't explain those obviously high temps a few days before. Coming off the pill and irregular cycles makes TTC so difficult 😕 Should have known to carry on given I was still getting EWCM! X

I agree with @MGee123 - I'm also not a BBT expert. But to me if you look at CD41 onwards it's a picture perfect graph of temps post ovulation.

Based on the drop in temps I would unfortunately expect AF in the next 2-3 days.

@Curiosity101 thanks for looking for me. Must remember to keep DTD while I have EWCM! But at that point I had already had it for about two weeks on and off 🤦🏻‍♀️ So was desperate to believe I had already ovulated and gave up DTD 🙄 So annoying in hindsight x

Agree chart definitely shows ovulation day 41 with a failed ovulation shortly beforehand.

@ellenpartridge urgh so frustrating! Feel so silly for stopping DTD. When you say failed ovulation, do you mean failed attempt to ovulate? Didn't know that could make your temp spike?

I think I would say you ovulated CD 41 if you were still getting EWCM up til then - you usually ovulate on the last day of your fertile fluid I think (not much help as obviously you don't know this until the day after ovulation!). Such a pain when your body gives you mixed signals! From what I was reading you need a sustained rise in temps to confirm ovulation, so best to persevere if it's still bouncing around a bit and if you've still got EWCM! Fingers crossed for you either way, you never know! Only takes one sperm!

@MGee123 thanks ☺️ Annoyed at myself for stopping DTD now! Especially after waiting 41 days for ovulation 🤦🏻‍♀️ Coming off the pill and TTC has already been such a rollercoaster and it's only been three months. Honestly thought if I read all the books and learnt everything I could I would be able to make sense of everything pretty well, but my cycle has other ideas! X
