Before my dd was conceived, I charted religiously for six months because I
was trying for a girl (according to the Shettles method).  The month she was
conceived, I supposedly didn't ovulate, according to my fertility signs.  I
gave up taking my temperature on day 25 when there had been no change in
temp.  I wasn't ill, under unusual stress, or any other of the "usual"
reasons that might throw off a woman's cycle.  When I also missed a period
at the end of that month, I was seriously freaked out, thinking, "My body
won't ovulate and now I can't even have a period!"  But obviously I did
ovulate w/o a temp or mucous change.  Two other ladies out of the small
group of five of us who lunch every Friday also somehow conceived under
similar circumstances.

Just my $.02.
