How do you draw a cover line if you dont get af?

I do my temps in centigrade, here they are by date eg 1st = 1st feb not 1st day of bleeding. I hope you can help

Feb (so far)
1st = 36.64
2nd = 36.37 (clear and stretchy cm)
3rd = 36.27 (2+ ferns on scope)
4th = 36.36(nothing but spots on scope)
5th = 36.53(2+ ferns on scope)
6th = 36.55
7th = 36.38
8th = 36.38
9th = 36.38
10th = 36.38
11th = 36.74
12th = 36.35
13th = 36.56
14th = 36.78
15th = 36.55
16th = 36.55
17th = 36.67
18th = 36.73
19th = 36.58
20th = 36.55 (quite a lot of ferning and few spots)

I really have read the tcoyf in detail with ref to the cover line but it does not tell you how to draw one if there is no af, i have a gyne appt on the 1st of March and thought id try to draw a cover line so as i can look into it before having the appointment.

Sorry to bother you ,

Take care, love sammie p xxx

Thankyou anyway, i have not seen full ferning as yet and as af has not arrived im unsure if its ovulation or not, i just know that when ferning did occur it was more painfull in the ovary area than usual. Who knows.

Thanx again

Ordinarily you draw the coverline at or just above the highest temp in the pre-O temps.

What if you are unsure of when you ovulated because you have no af? I only assume i o'd on the 3rd ish poss 7th ish because of the ferning on my scope and it wasnt alot either!

Sammie you dont seem to have had a proper thermal shift.
