Putting a Name With the Face

The name? Anovulation. After many days of up-and-down temps, and start-and-stop eggwhite fluid, I've come to the conclusion that I'm in an anovulatory cycle.

They could be twins, right?

Anovulatory cycles are the trickiest of all because you don't know IF or WHEN you will either ovulate or menstruate. Either one could show up at almost any time. So, after the smugness of a textbook-perfect cycle right out of the blocks, I've now got this to contend with.
