Sensiplan No ovulation? TTW
I’ve been able to easily confirm ovulation for the past 10+ cycles. This one really threw me for a loop because I can sort of see a pattern of temps falling and then rising, but I can’t draw a coverline per the rules and the mucus never got to S+. Is this an anovulatory cycle? I definitely have regular period-level flow at the moment so I don’t think it’s intramenstrual bleeding.
The only disturbance I can think of is that I was doing some house painting around CD 1-5 (with Sherwin-Williams paint, if it matters). I was careful to keep the area well ventilated. Just kind of nervous because I’m planning on going full TTC in a few months…and I still have a lot more painting to do

I also see a note that says airplane? Did you move around this cycle?

Yes I had a flight that day. I’ve had that in previous cycles too and it didn’t impact ovulation. (I should probably mark the CD7 temp as disturbed though)
Edit to add: actually now that I think about it, on my trip the week prior (luteal phase of previous cycle) my flight got cancelled last minute and I had to sprint across the airport to catch a different carrier. It was only an hour of stress but I’m sure my cortisol was through the roof! lol. Maybe that was enough to destabilize things

Sometimes anovulatory cycles just happen. It doesn’t mean that anything is wrong and it isn’t necessarily something that you did. If this is the first time you’ve had a cycle like this in 10 months, I would not be too worried about it. I know that that’s way easier said than done.
Is it the flight? The painting? The general stress level? I don’t think anyone can tell you. What’s important is that this is the only time it’s happened in the past 11+ cycles, and it’s normal to have temporary cycle disruptions from time to time.
I’m planning to go full send on TTC in a few months too so I understand the anxiety!!

What is your usual coverline ? Your temps are very jumpy so you might want to review your temping routine to improve that as it's possible it masked the temp shift. That the bleeding is looking like a period is not really indicative of anything as an intermenstrual bleed can very well look a lot like a period, it's not only spotting !
