2)We have best luck with Clearblue or the cheap Wondfo brand (these are not digital though). Yes you have to have a line as dark or darker than the control to be ovulating. Even your husband could get those faint lines if he peed on the sticks!
3)Yes, creamy CM during pregnancy is normal and tells us nothing about future swaying. If you need a lube, you could use a small amount of Sylk (not the KY Sylk, but the kind you must order online from Australia), but that will really cut odds of conception (it does nothing to help you get pregnant, that's for sure!) especially if you make little EWCM. The other possibility is to use a small amount of Preseed, just the barest minimum you need for comfy intercourse. Larger amounts may sway blue so use just the minimum amount you need.
4)No, it's not necessary to temp, I actually prefer most people not to, and additionally just so you understand, you need a thermometer that measures into the hundredths of degrees. So if you were measuring on a normal thermometer you may not have seen any difference in your day to day temps since your thermometer was not sensitive enough.
5)That's kind of a gray area. Many people opt to just let him "do what he does" and then show up for the e4d attempts if that's what you end up doing.
