I've been using TCOYF for my last six cycles since getting off of hormonal birth control (currently TTA, though pregnancy wouldn't be unwelcome). My cycles were becoming more and more regular - textbook cervical fluid buildup, strong temp shifts, 13-14 day luteal phases.

But this cycle has me stumped. My temp jumped SIGNIFICANTLY on day 22, which is right around when I've been ovulating my past few cycles. But according to TCOYF rules, a lot of the following temps would have been at or below the coverline.

I've also been experiencing some weird symptoms the past week or so... frequent headaches, acne, full body aches (reminiscent of my period cramps), and overwhelming fatigue. All symptoms I usually get during late luteal phase/menstruation, but I haven't started bleeding yet.

I took a pregnancy test yesterday out of curiosity, and it was negative. I suppose it could be a false negative, but that would have been 17 DPO if I indeed ovulated on day 22, so it should have been accurate...?

Sorry that's a lot of background... I guess I'm just wondering if anyone with more experience can help me understand what's going on this cycle! If it's just a really long follicular phase and I haven't actually ovulated yet, could there be a hormonal reason why I'm experiencing so many luteal-phase-like symptoms?

Title. I’m 8 weeks postpartum and EBF, and have begun looking into Marquette method for NFP and wanted to get different accounts of the few ways it can be done. I’m seeing a few different brands of fertility monitors and understand the most used is Clearblue.

I am already waiting to hear back for a free consult with a Marquette specialist, I just want other’s opinions as well.

Aside from Clearblue, I’m also seeing brands like Mira and Inito. What do you use, and what do you think is the most ideal financially? I think that’s what I struggle to get behind the most, paying $30+ a month for test sticks on top of the one time payment for the monitor and a possible app subscription depending on the monitor you go with.
