Not sure how to read the whole thing

So, at CD31, this is where I sit. Every other cycle (for the most part) I have seen in my books and searching has a definite difference between the two sides. Granted, the right side is overall higher, but there are temps (most) on the left that are still above the line. Plus, we have all those open circles. Most were from me being in CA at the race and sleeping in late or going to bed late and sleeping my normal 8 hours but getting up late. Who knows!

In the meantime though, I had my annual exam on Thursday with a new office. I mentioned my previous diagnosis of PCOS from my former office, and why I am not continuing to go there. The doctor has a hard time believing this PCOS diagnosis as I am not "Large" as she put it. True, but my BMI is in the overweight category. So, we're doing a little bit more to verify. I am having my medical reports sent over from the previous office and on CD3 and CD21 I go in for some blood work and on any random day they want me to go in for an ultrasound. She also recommends buying some OPKs. After all is said and done, I have another appointment for October 19th to go over those results and see if they agree with PCOS. If so, we're going to look at my options. In the mean time, I'm going to continue this temp charting and see if I can make any sense out of it.

Does it make sense for anyone else?

**Edit** Make it CD1, not 31.

Well it is showing that you did O on CD 17, so thats good. Yes, the open circles can be problematic, jsut try and do better next cycle. Doesnt really matter that some of your temps pre O are above the coverline, the most important thing is that the post O temps are above. Plus it says you only had your period for 1 day?? Is this correct? Because temps during your period are very wacky, so that would make sense of that.

Keep at it..and try to stay within 30 min, of your temp time for a more accurate chart!

No, I usually go for 6 days. Perhaps that's why? But, I guess that's great news that I did O! I was great with my times for the most part until the CA trip. Oh well. I woke up this morning at the normal time just to take my temperature, then went right back to sleep!

yes, you need to enter you "menses" light, moderate, heavy, etc. on the days that you are still bleeding. It does make a huge difference because your temps are totally wacky while you are still on your period. And yeah..your timing looked pretty good for it being your first month charting : )
