Question for you experts

I have no idea what is going on. First off, I did soy this cycle (200mgs cd 2-6). I have had lows on my monitor but severe O pains yesterday. Then, for you monitor experts, I get a stick this morning like this:

Which is most definetly a high or peak stick. My temp also took a jump this morning. Either way I am covering my bases but I hope my monitor hasn't failed me. It did ask me to clean it yesterday so I wonder if it has thrown it off somehow?

I have not used a FM so I don't have as much experience with that. You have L marked on your chart but you are saying today's reading is high. Is that correct? That seems to line up with your last cycle. You started getting highs around the same time. I have a feeling your temp is going to start dropping soon. A lot of times it drops right before you ovulate. The o pains sounds like ovulation is getting closer. My o pains usually start several days before I actually ovulate.

What is your CM like today? I think you might want to consider checking your cervix position as well just to help you confirm things. When it gets to the point where it is so high that you can't reach it any more, that is probably your most fertile day.

well I was saying that I got a Low today but the stick is definetly a high or peak stick in referenece to the color/darkness. They get lighter and darker just like opk's

Okay, I see now. I wouldn't really pay attention to that. I imagine it is like the CBE digi pregnancy tests. I remember taking one apart and seeing two lines and thinking it meant something. It didn't. I would have to do more reading on this but I think that they read for estrogen and LH so maybe your estrogen looks good but not your LH. I really don't know if that is the case though just speculating.

I would go by what the monitor says.
