Hmm I usually use the advanced method but leading up to O I was checking out research just for curiousity... Bit unsure now as I just went and checked FAM and it takes away my crosshairs lol my temps are a bit lower, think I will BD again tonight just to be sure lol

I've been charting this month but I haven't had a spike at all and I never once tested at the same time. This next cycle I plan on setting a timer to temp.
What exact OPKs should I buy this time? I want the most accurate that I won't get a million positives. These Wondfo type I've been using are apparently super sensitive.

Pbn- I'm glad you finally have an answer but I'm really really hoping next month is your month

Well, this is why I don't test early! Did an internet cheapie this morning and could swear I saw the faintest line that ever existed. But then again, sometimes I didn't. Swore it was line eyes, but when I compared the test to my old stark white negatives, there was definitely something there. It didn't seem pink though, more of a shadow.
Faulty test or really early BFP who knows.
Still no AF, symptoms still here, if not worse!
Will keep you all updated.

FX for all of you!

Thank you for the welcome, ladies

Congrats, taytum!

netti, I hope you caught the egg!

boys, I think that is definitely a pre-O dip. Get that egg! You may need to test 2x a day. I use CBE digitals (I like the pink holder, not the purple [advanced I think?] because I hate that it shows the smiley face for so many freaking days. Personally, I like to know whether the results are + or -!) I test morning and evening. This cycle, I started testing when I saw EWCM, and after a day of - tests, got +am, -pm, +am, -pm, -am, and urine wasn't diluted or anything. That doesn't usually happen to me but it's definitely possible.

pbn3, I'm sorry

lauren, do you have a chart link?

What settings do you all use on FF? I stick to FAM as I kind of don't trust the advanced setting. According to FAM, I'm 6dpo, but if I switch to research or advanced, FF puts me at 5dpo. I don't believe that, especially given the negative OPKs after two positives, plus the temp rise. Sitting on my hands over here. I wish I could just stop symptom spotting and get on with my life instead of obsessing, but this is where the fun is (for the first few cycles, at least). I do enjoy the anticipation but after ttc for 15mths with DS2, I definitely wasn't enjoying it anymore.

I bought some of those new FRERs with the curved handle today at CVS ($40 for 5. I have more money than sense haha) but I was just reading on FF that they are showing a lot of questionable lines. Ugh. Glad I have a digi, though.

Opinions requested: Would you start ttc the first month of a LE diet, or wait? I see in the stats that 16-20 weeks seems to have the best results. Thinking ahead to next cycle because I'm just not convinced this cycle worked at all. If it didn't, I need to decide asap if we'll ttc (and buy a plan immediately) or go ahead with saving for adoption....decisions, decisions.

It depends on the cycle.. When FF gives some asinine crosshairs based on something like OPK, completely ignoring everything else I'll either switch methods or override. For example, this cycle it started off set on FAM but then wanted to give me crosshairs before my temps shift due to OPK so I switched it to advanced.

I can only say what I did because I wasn't willing to wait to get preg in order to sway. I started swaying during my cycle which was a "healing" cycle (D&C) and not TTC, so I was swaying for a few weeks before I actually started TTC but not many. Now I have been doing a light sway since the beginning of April I believe so 4 1/2 months. That is what I figured would happen (certainly not what I hoped for but what I figured) so I really didn't want to wait to TTC. I'd be ok with another boy (don't get me wrong, I am foaming at the mouth for a little girl lol, but I'm 100% ok with a boy too) so for me waiting to TTC to better my sway just wasn't worth it for me. It's really an individual decision. If you want to look back and KNOW you did everything you could, then wait. If you'd love a girl but would be completely satisfied adding more blue to your brood, then start both and see how it plays out

Ok girls! We got it done!lol I'm currently lying elevated and plan to for 30 mins. I hope if I did O today my little eggy is still waiting. I tested this evening and second line was about the same. Who knows! I guess tomorrow will tell me more! I feel better getting an attempt in tonight either way.

Your chart looks pretty normal for irregular waking times! They are a bit bouncy, but that is to be expected with an inconsistent schedule and "bouncy" won't prevent you from seeing an O shift 9x out of 10... there are some extreme cases I've seen, but for the most part you'll still see an O shift. So if we ignore the OPKs, because the are obviously unreliable, there isn't 1 thing on your chart that makes me believe you O'd. I think you are still waiting. Which sucks because you are pretty deep into your cycle but given you haven't been BD'ing it's actually a REALLY good thing you haven't O'd yet because it means you didn't miss your window!! you O soon!! And if it were me, I'd burn those other OPKs! Okay, okay... maybe just toss them No matter how much they costed they aren't worth your sanity

Ladies, I have a query..... I woke up at 4am (thanks to my 19month old crying) and had to get up, so I quickly took my temp then, it was 35.8. I got back to sleep at 5am and woke up at 7am and took temp again and it was 36.6 (I had been awake for a few minutes).
Yesterday I had to take my temp at 4am too - thanks to my 19 month old..... and it was way lower than normal at 36.0.

My question - do I enter the 4am temp for today or the 7am?
I will try and attach my chart to show you....
