You are in good company Taytum. Hopefully the confusion clears up soon, but at least you have BW coming up if nothing else. That should clear things up for you. :FX:

I didn't get a positive opk either this BFP cycle! I think it's a fab idea to keep BDing until you either get a clear temp shift or after BW.Quote:

It's funny you say this - I always think back to your BD and chart when I'm not feeling solid about my attempt or chart. You always give me hope! FX there's a good indicator in the next few days! My plan was to stop temping after confirmed O to not stress and that hasn't worked out well lol.
I'm Xing everything that this is your BFP cycle!!!

So I'm going from a weird as post o chart last cycle to a weird as pre o chart arrgghh!! Does anyone know how much alcohol affects your temping? I had a blowout yesterday and drank a bottle of wine (over a 6 hour period though) and had drunk what I thought was heaps of water a couple hours b4 bed. I'm on cd6 and don't expect to o until cd11, 12 or 13 but had a 0.5 degree shift up this morning!!! (This is not an o temp shift.) Anyone else seen similar on their chart? Also decided to start checking cervix this cycle... had to google how lol, seriously the things we do ttc!!! Will attach screenshot of chart. Just didn't think a single wine night blowout would result in such a temp shift!! In saying all this I had to get up at 2.00am to see to ds2 and my temp was only 36.3, but I got back to sleep and took temp again just after 6am and it was 36.6??? checked it again 15 mins later and was the same.Attachment 26512
Your "shift" is actually only about .1 if you factor in other temps... wouldn't even qualify as an O shift as that requires a .2 shift above your last 6 temps. I can't weigh in for certain on the alcohol because I am what you call a "cheap date" lol, I get drunk with not very much alcohol at all so I don't really drink enough for it to affect my temps. However, a bottle of wine (assuming it is avg sized) *could* be enough to affect your temps. Someone else will have to weigh in here but I'd made a note of the alcohol the day before and the double temp so that if later you see it is really messing up your chart you can "disturb" it. According to the days you mentioned O is at least 5 days away and only the last 6 temps count toward your determination of O so it may not even be an issue.Quote:

I just remembered I set the heating to a degree higher last night but surely that wouldn't come into it as my 2am temp would have been the norm or close to but anyway I'm not going to stress on it :)
Yeah, don't stress about it at all :) Temps sometimes go weird on us that is why they say to look at the big picture instead of temp by temp.Quote:

But no luck :( I am yawning like a crazy person but the moment I lay down to try to get to sleep I might as well have guzzled a pot of coffee. My boys will be up in a couple hours. Fortunately DH is off tomorrow... well actually today lol, by some miracle so he can take kid duty if I can ever manage to get to sleep.
Geez I hope you do get some sleep two!! I was shattered today and so annoyed as I was laying on coach with eyes closed trying to have a nap and heard ds1 saying 'wake up daddy!' so I told dh to just go and have a sleep in bed as one of us has to stay awake to look after kids!! Men!!!! I don't think I've had a decent 8 hour sleep since ds2 was born but anyway lol :):):)
Pbn3- alcohol can totally increase your temps if you have more than a couple of drinks! If I have more than one, I know to put an open circle on my temp and call it good!
FX and GL!!!
