Hello, so i i am trying this charting and i don't think I am getting it. My temps r weird (but i dont know what they should be), when I first started the opks (on cd9) I could see two line (one line very light so i know it was -) and now there is only one line, and my cm has been watery. This just doesn't seem like it matches. Can anyone help me with what I should be expectong and what is normal (or is everyone just that different) please and thank u :-)

Sorry about that last message I was trying to show my chart. Didn't work :-(

The link for your chart still isn't working. I'm not an expert on charting, but I will try to give you the best advice I can.

Make sure you're taking your temp at the same time every morning first thing, after at least four hours of solid sleep. Some people do have erratic temps, and they can be caused by anything from the temperature of the room, illness, having a bad night's sleep, etc.

OPK's detect LH, which is always in your system in small amounts. Sometimes an OPK can show faint lines (I actually always have a very faint line when I test). They can even start to get darker, but then go back to light or nonexistent due to LH fluctuations or the concentration of the urine. The best thing to do is just keep testing until you see a positive result. The first time I got a dark (but still not equal to the control) line, I tested again later that day and got a positive.

Hope that helped a little.

To get your chart linked, go to 'Sharing' at the top of the page in FF and then 'Setup' under 'Charting Home Page'.

Yup, I'm getting a blank page when I click on the link as well. to what HopeTea said, make sure you're taking your temp at the same time every morning after 3 solid hours of sleep. And take it before you do anything, so no getting up, no talking, temp first! Everyone has slightly different temps that are considered "normal" for them, so after a few cycles of charting you'll know what to expect of your body. I have been able to determine that I will wake up sick tomorrow solely because of my temperature at night and knowing I was nowhere close to O time, is that good or bad... I don't know!

As for OPK's, again, everyone's body reacts differently to them. When I first starting using them, mine would be stark white and all of a sudden get color and 2 days later be positive. Now, they have some color all the time and build up to a +. But there are girls who have color, then it goes stark white and then get their +, so it's hard to say! As soon as you get your chart linked we'll all take a look and see if we can help

Thank you thank you thank you so much. I think I got the link now. I should be getting my + OPK today and as for temp I'm not sure how accurate it is because I don't sleep well at night. Hopefully you ladies can take a look for me. Thank I again :-)

Yep the link is working now.

It looks like you were taking Provera earlier in this cycle, if you were then that's why your temps were so high and now have come down since you stopped taking it. I wouldn't worry too much about the temps on those days.

My OPK's always start getting darker about a week before O and then go super faint 3-4 days before O and finally they get dark pretty quick followed by positives. I bet yours will be getting darker again soon.

[Christa225]

That makes so much sense. Thank you :-)

A lot of ladies also see a pretty big temp drop right before they ovulate, seems like you had a pretty big drop this morning so I wouldn't be surprised if you get a + opk in the next couple of days and then ovulate.

It's normal to have light opks and some with just one line before you get a positive!

[Christa225]

Thank you. I tested again today and the second line was there again pretty dark but not darker than the first line (control line I think). Should I take that still as a - and just watch it carefully like take another test a little later today?

[Belita]

Yup, you're getting it!

[Tammyms]

If you have the tests I'd test again, I've tested in the morning and late afternoon and gotten a + in the evening! Your temp drop looks promising for O!

if you dont sleep ell have you though about temping vaginally? i do and i notice my temps aren't affected by poor sleep as much, as long as I don't get up and roll over and fall back asleep my temp does not seem to rise. that temp dip does look nice, hope you get your + OPK, keep BD!!!!
