When they give you a positive test, its because your body has suddenly surged in the hormones that go up before ovulation. You will then ovulation within 12-48 hours (and to make it more confusing, you can surge, but fail to ovulate!). You can use ovulation calculator.

Last time around I was using charting much like what you describe, but it was taking a lot of my time. I want something easier now, maybe an app, maybe one of the gadgets that do the charting for you. Have you personally used something like that (daysy - https://www.usa.daysy.me/).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180695367739112657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572123771877095028.post-12834865595265887832016-01-13T08:55:13.425-08:002016-01-13T08:55:13.425-08:00I loved this!

We have been ttc for about 6 mos truthfully, I have just started charting so I was confused. I was supposed to start cycle 2 1/12/16 however AF never showed. Check CM and yesterday it was E and today 1/13/16 its creamy. My BBT I just started tracking and both morning temps where 97.4 so I think the HPT was right and its A BFN :( but Hey I still missed by 1 day so fingers crossed.Brascohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771396472717046095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572123771877095028.post-18405479039653224192015-08-24T08:05:51.409-07:002015-08-24T08:05:51.409-07:00How, exactly do you draw a coverline on your chart...How, exactly do you draw a coverline on your chart? Everyone seems to have differing ideas about how this is done. We've been TTC for over 7 years. We did 6 IUI's but are now just trying on our own.

I too am struggling with a whacked out chart, and my OB told me to try for a full year before they'll begin testing. :( So I started seeing an Acupuncturist who is also giving me herbs to help my body and hormones get on track. I also attribute my issues to being on hormonal BC for too long, over ten years. I go back to the DR. next month, and the acupuncturist doesn't think I'm not ovulating just not everything is falling into place quite right, so I have high hopes! Especially after reading your story!

A friend of mine let me borrow this book a month ago after I had been off BC for almost 6 months with no normal period. Wow! I can't believe i never cared to know this much about my body! I am charting my first month with a natural period and was able to see a clear dip and then rise...and it has stayed risen for 11 days now, hoping this is it! Thanks for sharing your story with others. Your post was very encouraging :)Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02682080999345465903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572123771877095028.post-713204418832158172013-01-07T12:56:51.148-08:002013-01-07T12:56:51.148-08:00I am in love with charting.

For me, even 18 months into TTCing (oh, little did I know when I was in month 5 that we'd still be there!), being able to chart makes me feel like I can DO something. I've been running into sleepless nights, though, which makes me stress out even more because I think MY TEMPERATURES! But, I really love it. I wish every woman would look into it!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815609714657186934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572123771877095028.post-30376219401049602552013-01-06T03:32:56.002-08:002013-01-06T03:32:56.002-08:00thankyou for this :)i have a 3 yr old beautiful we...thankyou for this :)i have a 3 yr old beautiful wee man and am trying very hard to give him a sibling, im 28 years old and had have been trying 5 months, with one miscarriage, 4 months ago. today i brought a thermometer after reading this and am so excited for my 1st month of charting, im very in tune with my body ( cervical mucous and position, and have cramps for 2 days, day 14 and 15 of my 28 day cycle. but am very disheartened every month, as we all are, when it ends with aunt flow taking over..... charting will be my new project and your info has given me more hope.
