Chart stalkers wanted... so confused

Hi, gals... I'm from the Jan 08 PR, but have a charting question for you, so I hope you don't mind my peeping in

A little background: I'm 37, DH is 41, we've been TTC #2 for 11 months now. This is our final month before seeing an RE. WE've tried 3 cycles of clomid, and this is the non-medicated month after those 3 cycles. I've always O'ed, sometimes stronger than others...

So, you can see my chart by clicking on the tigger "see my chart" in my siggy. My temps have slowly risen the past 5 days, but my temp finally, finally went up today, so when I put in fake temps for the next 2 mornings, FF gives me dotted CH's for yesterday (cd 19) as O day.

HOWEVER...

ALL physical signs: + OPK, O pains, CM point to LATE CD 15 or EARLY cd 16 as being time of O.

Do I go with the temp shift or with all else?

I'm so confused. I wouldn't be too worried about it except I have to schedule my RE appointment for when I *think* any of CD 1-3 of new cycle (let's hope we don't have a new cycle and I don't need the appointment!) will be. I also wanted to get my progesterone checked. It's $38, so I don't want to check it twice, and I need to test it a 7 DPO. So... When was O?

AAAK! If I didn't have these "monitoring" or appointments to worry about, I'd just let it ride and see what happens.

I think I have my bases covered on the BD area for either option! We used preseed the past 2 times, because CM wasn't fertile.

Anyway... Your thoughts are welcome. I'm going nuts. Thank you for your thoughts!!!!!!!!!

Hi Gwynne, glad you popped in. I hope you will stop by more often. We would love for you to join us.

Gwynne's chart: 22cf6b Ovulation Charts

I am adding the link to your chart here so the other girls can stalk you too. I had a hard time finding it in your scrolling marquee.

I tend to think you o'd when your temp shift occurred. I have had several charts where I didn't ovulate until several days after getting an opk. Here is my chart from last cycle. It was a lot like yours.

You still had fertile CM for a while after you opk so I think it is the day when your temp shifted. I think you will have a better idea in a couple days. It is also possible that you are just having a slow rising temp shift but I am inclined to go with the later o date. Either way, it looks like you covered your bases really well!

GOOD LUCK! I have to tell you that you may just have increased your chances of a bfp by posting over here.

We have some extra concentrated baby dust over here. I swear to you every couple days we get a bfp on this board.

I hope you get your bfp soon!!!
