Help with my BBT please, I'm going mad

I've tried really, really hard to understand BBT but I'm struggling, and I was wondering whether anyone might be able to look at mine and suggest a next step.

I've been pregnant before (miscarriage two years ago), and I got pregnant on the first try that time. I've been going for six months now and no dice. I've tried to keep a lid on it all, but I got a BFN this morning (12-14DPO according to my OPK, static smiley on 28th April, and I understand ovulation can follow up to 48 hours later) and I just feel so completely hopeless. I just want to hibernate and cry.

Any suggestions about what my BBT chart might suggest / any next steps / soy isoflavones / any other supplements / a good slap and an instruction to chill the fuck out what to ask a doctor for would be so deeply appreciated.

I'm 29, I've been trying since December, but I have 38-39 day cycles. I'm due on Saturday. Also I've got a load of EWCM this afternoon to make things extra confusing.

I will cheerfully pay for anyone's time if they're able to give me some guidance.

Looking at your chart, I would say ovulation hasn't occurred. Do you have PCOS?

Hey @LittleGwyneth I feel your pain I'm in a similar boat.

Is this your first cycle tracking your temp? It does look like you haven't ovulated this month. Mine is very similar but I did ovulate last month and from talking to my gp and doctor google (lol) it's nothing to worry about having the odd cycle without. I'm currently day 28 and got my clear blue peak at day 25 but my temp never rose. Have you been doing your temp at the same time each day?

I had convinced myself my thermometer is faulty so got a new one...low and behold that also told me my temp isn't going up!!!

I'd say try not to lose hope - one cycle without ovulation is so frustrating but nothing to worry about.

Sending hugs from one frustrated lady to another 😘😘😘😘😘

@Lolajames It's my first cycle charting and I've not been brilliant with it - my wake up time varies by about two hours. I think once my period comes I'll start next cycle again and do an alarm every morning so it's the same time. I'm so frustrated - and really scared that I've just stopped ovulating completely.

@YouBoggleMyMind I'm not diagnosed with PCOS but when I was pregnant last time they said they could see some cysts on one of my ovaries so I assume yet. Maybe I need to get some tests done.
