Well I finally have crosshairs. I was shocked and a little excited to see them, but at the same time I'm not sure how accurate it is. With being sick and some major family issues going on, I've slept poorly a few nights, my temps are wacky and I have 2 that were discarded due to fever, etc. But then judging by my CM it is possibly right. But still I don't know what to think. Any thoughts or opinions?

I think your temp for CD 18 is way too high. What happened that night? I see that it has an open circle. Since you dropped right back down to the norm I don't think you O'd yet, your body just geared up to and didn't. Sorry.

I slept very poorly that night and I was also still sick so I'm pretty sure that's why. I'm confused as to why FF gave me CH when my temps are back to around normal. Maybe because of my CM? It can change your O date later, right?

FF will change your CHs and even take them away. It waits until it has several days of data though before making that kind of change. I'd almost mark that day as fever because it was so high. I bet if you do it'll take the CHs away. I know my first cycle charting it moved my CHs. It can be so frustrating getting used to, but as you get more cycles charted you'll start to see patterns that will help you know whether or not the CHs will move.

I considered marking that as fever but I wasn't sure. I marked all of the other stuff though and it just gave me an open circle. It seems like all the discarded temps every other day would make it impossible to interpret. But then also what about the CM? Could I have just had all that and then not actually O'd, but then I can still O later this cycle? If that's the case, will I have the EWCW again? Guess I should prepare for another long cycle, ugh. My body is such a mess.

I think FF is just being its usual drunken quack self. sorry hon!

You can have EWCM, positive OPKs, peaks on a monitor, etc. and still not ovulate. Those just mean that your body is getting ready to, but it doesn't mean it actually will. Especially if you're sick and under a lot of stress your body may rev up to O a few times before it actually does. You should notice more fertile CM later in your cycle and a true thermal shift. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you girl.

That's kind of what I've been thinking too, that I'll just have to wait. Again. I was expecting to get pregnant this cycle anyway, I was just hoping to have a normal cycle and actually O for a change, since the beginning seemed to be going pretty well.
