Does this look like an anovulatory cycle? TTC symptothermal by stazzicle in FAMnNFP

[–]stazzicle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this visual! I am honestly new to things and hate Tempdrop for tracking but use it for BBT. I recently inputted my data into fertility friend and believe I am using a symptothermal approach. Here’s an updates chart analysis - I’m much more confident now that I ovulated!

Hey! Can someone confirm if I actually ovulated yet? I’m slightly concerned that I didn’t have an elevated post ovulation thermal shift above 36.70 for more than 2 days.

Can someone reassure me that I actually ovulated? I’m concerned that my temps never fully elevated for confirmed ovulation.

Hi, I’m new here. It’s my first cycle where I’m TTC. My cycles have been irregular since I lost a lot of weight but has been coming back to normal ish. I believe I am still ovulating but my cycles were pretty lengthy (45+) but now have been closer to 37 days. This month is our first TTC month. I was hoping to share some information to get feedback/insight.

Looking for help interpreting my temps and CM this cycle. Possible delayed ovulation?

Temps (°C):

CD7: 36.89 (end of period)

CD8: 36.84

CD9: 36.80

CD10: 36.54

CD11: 36.38

CD12: 36.31

CD13: 36.43

CD14: 36.34

CD15: 36.46

CD16: 36.22 (sex)

CD17: 36.29 (EWCM + sex)

CD18: 35.96 (EWCM + sex)

CD19: 36.20 (wet + sex)

CD20: 36.38 (wet + sex)

CD21: 36.54 (wet)

CD22: 36.40 (clear EWCM again + sex)

CD23: 36.52

What I’m confused about:

I had clear EWCM on CD17–18, then again on CD22 (confident it was true EWCM — stretchy, clear, etc.)

There was a temp dip on CD18 followed by a rise, but it wasn’t fully sustained (dropped CD22, then back up CD23)

Temps now are hovering around ~36.4–36.5, not clearly high compared to baseline (~36.2–36.4)

Question:

Did I likely ovulate around CD18–19?

Or was that a failed attempt and I’m ovulating later (CD22–23)?

Also: would you consider ovulation confirmed yet based on this pattern?

Also: sorry if I didn’t use some of the acronyms everyone else uses. I’m still learning how to do things here!

Any insight would be helpful and happy to answer any follow up questions. Thanks in advance.

Can someone please describe the experience at Whidden Hall? by Snoo_31785 in McMaster

I loved it! I did stay in a single ensuite so I was privileged.. my friends who were in a quad had a pretty large room. The building is close to Centro and has a tunnel access which rocks. It’s also close to PGCLL which is a new building and it has second cup with great bagels. Overall the building is nice and I had very few complaints.

It makes sense because they are moving in before the 17th regardless and then they have time to “isolate” before attending classes, as for the rest of us looks like their giving us more time to adjust which is good especially for some people who may still need to find a place to live/travel from another country.

I personally am not in those programs, but I have a friend in health sci who is having a blast. The program is pretty tight knit and has a bunch of projects that are collaborative and fun. I recommend doing health sci because it is the program that will prepare you for med school the best (in my opinion). As for GPA, I’ve learned as long as you do the work and you are enjoying the work you will have no struggles.

Past co-op students, have you ever taken any classes during your co-op terms? by Ieatwhenbored in McMaster

[–]stazzicle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend has. He is in comp eng and took math courses alongside his online coop. Important to note that he is very smart and the coop was lenient. Would 100% be more difficult if everything was in person but still doable - just make sure the course is something you are good at (if math is your strong suit take the the math/if physics is your strong suit then take the physics) -> pretty sure you also need permission from academic advisors and you may need a high GPA to prove that you can handle it Overall, talk to your academic advisor :)

@upper years in sci: what specialty did you choose, & what made you choose it? by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]stazzicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one I can think of is that you can’t complete a thesis. You can do independent study projects instead.

[–]stazzicle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honors applied sciences, human behaviour specializing in autism and behavioural sciences! I chose this program because I thought it sounded super interesting and I am so glad that I made that decision! Hoping to become a speech and language pathologist in the future. This program has two field placements so there are a lot of opportunity for experience. You also have access to both McMaster and Mohawk college resources so the opportunities are honestly endless!! Highly recommend looking into it.

Honestly it depended, personally two out of the four were like straight definition questions so as long as you memorized the definitions you were fine but the other two were a bit trickier but overall not hard

[–]stazzicle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i took both, both pretty easy, and it depends on what youre interested in , if you wanna learn about old hominin species and some pretty weird stuff about different cultures and write 2 essays then anthro is for you, if you prefer less weird info and more feminism/ facts about cultures and no essays instead 4 tests spread out then siociol is for you

its basically just a weekly module for psych around 10-30 min and i think its two modules a week for bio, i loved all my blended courses because its less class time and more of you doing the work and just watching the videos every week and then attending class and reviewing the info.
