Ovulation question

[Tonysweetie]

I have a question about ovulation. I'm new to charting, I just started my 2nd cycle. How will I know if I'm not ovulating. My last chart really didn't give me a clear thermial shift and now I'm afraid I'm not even ovulating. I've read through TCOYF but I still wanted to ask some expert ladies in here. TIA!

I'n not sure if this is 100% correct, but all the charts I've seen where people didn't ovulate their temps were all over the chart with no pattern as well as either no fertiel fluid or lots of it on various days.

Because your temps rose and stayed up and you had the vaerage 4 days of EW CM, it looks like you O'ed last mont to me!

THanks Mel! I sure hope your right :)

I took a look at your chart, and it looks like there are significant signs that you are ovulating. Your temps are a little funny, but they definitely shift, and your cervical position and cervical fluid both point to ovulation.

I do not ovulate without medication, and what mel7dog said matchces me exactly. I have temps all over the place, no clear cervical fluid pattern, etc.

Looks like you ovulated to me! It looks completely different from the charts I've seen where they didn't ovulate.

Tonysweetie, I truly mean this to be helpful... have you considered setting up a meeting with your ob/gyn to discuss all of this? Not an exam, but just you and the dr sitting in the office talking about this topic. You seem to have many questions on this subject and it might be best for you to get some professional input.

I agree, I actually am making an appt. for next week hopefully. I've been thiinking about this myslef. I want to go infor a pre TTC appt. You read my mind :)

I just wanted to say I agree with the PP's. I do see many signs that you are ovulating. I know when you are new to charting everything is foreign territory. :) I see a very significant thermal shift, and a CM dry up. Your LP seems to be a good length and I don't see anything in your chart that would lead me to believe that you will have problems when you and DH start using charting to conceive. (I can totally understand the paranoia, though, believe me!)
Good luck at your doctor appt.
