I hate this. I’ve been charting for over 7 years. Ok, so I took a break after our youngest was born, but still… I wake up at the same time every day. I faithfully take my temp the second I wake up. I come out, chart it and then I go check out what’s going on up my hoo-hoo. I know I’m not a good sleeper. I’m an insomniac and I’ve made peace with that. I’m at the point where I’m going to gobble some pills just so I can get a real night’s sleep and an accurate temp! I know that’s not healthy but neither is not sleeping… Which is worse?
My chart is a lying dog.

I am not any days past ovulation. Liar of a chart! You beastly thing!
You would think that I could identify any sort of ovulation by looking at my chart. I just can’t though! The 4 days that my chart picked up on as my O date are based on adjusted temps. I don’t trust those temps because my mid-day temps aren’t actually that different from my very-first-thing-I-do-in-the-morning temps. My CM is drying up. My CP is firming up again and closing… Some might say my temp today is implantation, but it’s soooo not. I slept like crap last night and I never got into a good sleep. I woke up when The Hubs went to work (2 hours after I finally fell asleep) and didn’t go back to sleep for another hour. Then I slept maybe 45 minutes… You need at least 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep to get an accurate temp. I don’t know what the crap is going on here. I’m tired of it though. I’m about to call this cycle over and just start over when AF shows up.
