I'm searching, but haven't found a higher temp yet!! I had a + digi OPK on Saturday, which threw me for a loop because I didn't quite expect it yet, so we snuck in 2 BD sessions within those 24 hours. Then I got another + digi OPK yesterday (and I always peek at the lines even though it says not to and the test line was WAY darker than the control line), so I count that as the true positive. I expected my temp to go up today, but it hasn't!

Christine- I noticed your chart is doing the SAME thing as mine! I've messed around with a higher temp tomorrow, and I will get CH's already if it's above 98... it really has to go up at some point!

Now that THAT is off my chest, Happy Monday!

LOL I fooled around with temps for the next few days too.

I got a +digi yesterday at 11am, and a negative a few hours earlier. The CBE digis say that means O 24-36 hours after....so I figured technically I'd O today. I had O pains yesterday though, so I'm thinking BDing tonight would prob be too late anyway. We'll try, but I'm glad we got the last 2 days in. I just HOPE my temp goes into the 98s tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure it will (or at least high enough that 2 more highs after that will give CHs). My temps tend to go up slowly rather than a jump one day.

GL to you! Isn't it fun?

ETA: I'll probably take the first + OPK out from my chart. My IC the 2nd day was darker than the first, I think I just wanted it to be positive that first day lol

Oh yes, it's great fun! My temp usually jumps, so that's why I was curious why my temp hasn't moved. I had very strong O pains last night, so I guess it's possible that it happened late and didn't have enough time yet to affect my temps. Hopefully we'll both have 98+ temps tomorrow! YAY!!

High temp here (and fake CH's to boot!- 2 more days and they will correct themselves). Christine- where are you?

I just went and stalked you!

So here is my dilemma.......

I always temp at 6:45. Well DH had to go to work this morning (he usually works from home), so the alarm went off at 5:10. My temp was 97.67. A little higher than it's been, but not a jump! Fell back to sleep and took it at 6:45 and it was 98.27. So I used the temp adjuster and got 98.13. I was thinking this morning it really wasn't a huge deal because I'm 99% sure I O'd so it's just about making my chart look right BUT then I notice EWCM this morning?? I *think*. I'm still pretty sure I O'd, but I'll BD tonight just in case.

You may just be having a different cycle... I often have fertile CM a day or 2 after I O- then it magically turns creamy. If I take out my first +OPK like you did, my CH's go away, but since I know I O'd, I want to keep them there for a few days. I'm strange. After I get my real CH's on Thursday, though, I'm going to just spot temp- not every day! No more obsessing!

As for your temp, I'd leave it like you did.. I would have done the same thing. It looks right to me!

Thanks! It's funny, I'm pretty sure it was EWCM, but I'm trying to convince myself maybe it wasn't LOL But I do think I O'd even though it was! I'm pretty sure my temps will be in the 98's tomorrow, so when I get CH, I'll probably spot temp too! We'll be away for Fri-Sun so I won't bring my thermometer. I got my hopes up way too much last month! Assuming I did O, I am going to test next Friday the 17th (11dpo) because I'm going away for that night and will have a few drinks if it's a BFN. My LP has just gotten to 12 days anyway, I was planning to wait until 12dpo to test.

Yay Jackie for the higher temp and fake CH's!!!

Christine... I've gotten EWCM the day after I've O'ed before... I think that you'll be seeing CH's soon! (then again, I'm definitely no expert!)

I decided the fake CH's weren't for me. I set it to OPK method and took out my first + OPK. Now it's right. I'll put it back in a couple days.

Jackie you're too funny! I don't blame you though, I'd feel better if it said 1dpo today LOL Actually, I'd prefer it to say 2 dpo for BD reasons, but I know that's not accurate lol

Awww, come on! Change yours to OPK method and it should say 1dpo also! Then I can move you to the 2ww in the chart stalking room!

LOL Alright I'll keep looking but initially I changed it to OPK method and it didn't give me CH! So I wanted to manually override it, but I can't find how to do that lol This is why I don't have VIP FF, all I like to do is put in my temp and CM haha

I just clicked on tuning/override under the ovulation detector area, then put it on OPK/Monitor/OVWatch as the detector. You won't get CH's, but you'll get one vertical line like I have. Then your ticker will say 1dpo.
