BBT help - strange cycle after COVID vaccine?

I'm on my first TTC cycle after a MMC in September and I have no idea what's going on with my body... wondering if anyone has had similar or can help?

I had surgery for retained tissue after the miscarriage and ovulated 6 days later (LH peak, BBT rise, other symptoms) with period 11 days later. It was only a 23 day cycle and very light bleed, but I've been told that the first cycle can be a bit strange.

I was hoping to have LH peak this week but I've had nothing - no symptoms at all really either. I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the huge random BBT rise that happened last week? I had my COVID vaccine the day before, so I'm wondering if that's related as I've heard it can delay your cycle. I can't think of any other reason why and I didn't have this with my previous cycle.

Just feels like one thing after another and I'm really struggling with it all. I know the advice is not to get stressed as this can mess things up even more, but it's hard not to!

Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

I wasn’t bbt tracking at the time but twice the vaccine delayed my period by about a week, so if you keep tracking maybe you’ll find something similar timeline wise? It’s frustrating, good luck!

That's for the message! I'll keep tracking to see what happens. I've had irregular cycles and amenorrhoea before so it all just adds to the anxiety. Just so frustrating that this happens first cycle of TTC again!

Just bumping this to see if anyone else has had similar?

Still no symptoms and nothing happening in OPK tests. Really frustrating!

I wasn't trying at the time but my period was delayed after each covid jab too. I think by a couple of days? I also had a bit of a higher than usual temperature so that might be making your chart look a bit off if you have the same. Everything went back to normal by next cycle though :)

Just to report back on this, I ended up ovulating amount a week late (CD21). I've also seen that others have reported similar. If you are in the same situation I'd recommend to continue testing as you might hit peak much later than normal. Don't give up hope!
