dear dr. amos, i am still nursing my 12 month old 3-4 times a day, with one in middle of night or around 5:30am. in the past i have breastfed my 3yr &7yr old until 21mon of age. i have just had my 4th postpartum cycle all of which have been 29 days. i am trying to chart my temps however it is inevitable that someone wakes me up once or twice most nights. this month i am also charting cervical position. i have a retroverted uterus. i was unable to temp the two most important days. on cd 14 my cervix started to soften and on cd 16 & 17 i had " SHOW" by cd 18 cervic was hard and low. my average temps with some misssing days before suspected ovulation was 97.5-97.8. last night i had uninterrupted sleep and my temp was only 97.9. , which is cd 19. on cd 16, it was 97.6 (suspected ov-SHOW day). not knowing cd 17 & 18 i don't know if that was an increase in temp. i always have ov pain when i ovulate but i still have it 3 dpo. i also have had a short luteal phase my past three cycles. is that due to breastfeeding? can i go by cervical position to determine ov since it is hard to get enough sleep? could i have ovulated or did my body try to gear up for it but didn't. any info would be helpful. thank you for your time. crissy
