First, I wanted to thank everyone who responded on the "ovulation question" thread. I am still second-guessing myself and want to make sure I am doing this right. If you are so inclinded, these are my temps & CF's for the past 20 days (sorry if this is TMI):

96.87 NCF
97.02 NCF
96.66 NCF
96.80 NCF
96.64 NCF
96.80 NCF
96.85 NCF
96.87 NCF
96.57 NCF
96.47 NCF
96.58 * (spotting)
96.10 *
96.48 *
96.18 *
96.87 *
96.80 NCF
96.44 NCF
97.18 S-->C
97.02 C
96.82 NCF <--This is today

For I second I thought I had or would O this week bec of the CF change and my temp started to rise BUT now I am back to NCF and my temp dropped again (I read in TCYF that for the temp shift, it should go higher and stay higher until your pd starts). Am I not ovulating yet? I am guessing my cycle is still out of whack? I had a heavy 8-day pd right before these temps start and less than 2 wks later had 5 days of spotting (listed as *'s above).

Thanks for that cool graph!

Okay, first are you doing everything accuretly? taking temp after 3 consecutive hours of sleep?
I try to always get 3 hrs of consecutive sleep, but I am still nursing my 5-month old so sometimes it might be only 2 hrs of sleep between his last feeding and when I have to get up for work
same time every morning? with a basal body thermometer? Orally or vaginaly? 4:30 am, yes BBT, orally

What's your history? are you typically 28 days? anything that may be keeping stressed? colds? work? anything?
I have never really charted before; I was on the pill when I got pg with Sebastian so I was on a 28 day schedule but it was forced. If I had to go back to my pre-pill days I don't think I was a 28-day girl. My job is kind of stressful and we have all been sick lately - Alex had the croup and dh and I caught it also, but I feel ok now.


Today my temp was up again- 97.02 and I am spotting AGAIN. I will check out that site to see if I can do more there - I keep my temps and cf's on a similar excel spreadsheet here, but didn't want to upload the whole thing in my post and my sheet doesn't graph itself like that. Thanks again!

Thanks - I am starting to think this is my pd now and not just spotting, so I guess I will start a new chart. I did my old chart on babymed and saved it, too. Do you like fertilityfriend or babymed better?
