Mo 4 Wk 2 (Cycle 2 CD 38)

Well, I was waiting until I ovulated to update but since it's already been 3 weeks since the last time I posted, I figured I might as well do it now. Unfortunately, there isn't much to say.
After I slept with the lights on during the full moon, I did notice some more EWCM for a couple of days but I still didn't ovulate. I did have a temp spike on cd 21, the day after I last slept with the lights on, but it wasn't sustained. I'm not sure what caused it but I do know that ever since then, my temps having been higher than the begining of the cycle ranging from 97.0-97.3 as opposed to 96.7-97.1. Last cycle I had the same thing happen too. I had a temp spike that wasn't sustained and then my temps were higher afterwards.

I've noticed they've also been fluctuating less as you can see starting cd 24. I don't know whether to take this as a sign that Lunaception is working or not, but the main thing Lunaception is supposed to do is make me ovulate and thus far it seems to be failing me.
CD 18,19,20 I slept with a light on and when I still haven't ovulated 2 weeks later, I decided that instead of waiting on another full moon I would just do it now since Louise Lacey says you can try sleeping with the lights on again after 2 weeks. I did it on cd 33, 34, and 35 but this time it didn't even seem to give me EWCF, at least not as much as last time. It's cd 38 now and I'm still waiting on ovulation. If I ovulate today, then my cycle would be around 53 days long. I've been doing lunaception since September! I thought they would have shortened by now. *Sigh*

Speaking of EWCF, I don't think I've really noticed a big difference since I began my little experiment. I still have no dry days--very frustrating when you have long cycles and you want to avoid having kids. It just means my husband and I have to use protection everyday pre-o.

Full moon is in a little less than 2 weeks. Hope to have some news until then!
