Question

My chart shows I'm fertile again. But my period is supposed to start today. Why?

I just started temping about 5 days ago. So the info may not be accurate. As well I temp orally with a regular digital thermometer. I also have trouble temping at the same time each morning. I sometimes wake up a few times a night when DH comes to bed or when I hear my DS rustling around. (We co-room). So that could be the issue. I've had light brown spotting for the last 3 days and cramps last night. But this morning my divacup only had light brown cm in it. I had a fpl on a Wondfo this morning with fmu but 2 more Wondfos with the same sample looked pretty negative. I'm confused and annoyed. My breasts are sore and I'm a bit nauseous lately. (Nausea is normal for me any time of the month, though.) I ran out of OPKs so I don't know exactly when I ovulated. FF calender says CD18, chart says CD16. Today is CD32. Help!

I would disregard any data from your chart as there are a lot of issues with how you're temping. You can't start temping mid or late cycle, you need a basal thermometer, & you must take your temp at the same time each AM before doing anything for the day. If you ovulated around day 18, then your period should be due any time now if you're not pregnant! Gl!

Well then I might as well not temp at all. The only time I get at least 3 solid hours sleep happens early in the night. And I can't set an alarm for temping because I don't want to wake my son up.

It is really hard to temp when you have small kids. I have a 2.5 yr old & couldn't temp bc my sleep is interrupted so much in the early AM hrs. I attempted it out of curiosity, but my #s weren't overly accurate. However, if your cycles are normally 32 days, then you would o around day 18, give or take a day or two. I hope you get your bfp!
