This is the first cycle that I’ve been charting my basal body temperature, cervical fluid, etc.
I guess we are not really trying to abstain from pregnancy, but we’re not super actively trying either.
I’m mostly doing this for my own curiosity. I stopped taking birth control just before my last period because I didn’t want to be on it anymore.
Here’s my first chart so far for this cycle:
I know I’m not supposed to interpret stuff yet since I am not familiar with my patterns and it hasn’t been a full cycle, but it’s difficult not to!
It looks like my body is tying to ovulate, but hasn’t yet. This could be an anovulatory cycle, since I just stopped taking birth control and it could take awhile for things to get back to a regular pattern.
It’s strange because I’m having a bunch of signs that ovulation is impending, but no temperature shifts yet. My cervix feels pretty soft, and last night it was open. I’ve had egg white cervical fluid. I’ve had cramps and a higher sex drive. No positive OPKs (which also happened to me before I got pregnant with Lorelei – despite them being negative I obviously did ovulate, since I ended up pregnant).
I just don’t know yet, we’ll see.
