You guys sure have been busy! I think you are going to ovulate soon just from your CM and CP. When you marked high on your chart for your CP how high was it. Was it so high you had a hard time finding it? Your chart looks similar to how mine looked last cycle. I had three days of flat temps before I finally o'd. I think you are really close!

I am really not THAT tired, maybe a little because we have both been a little under the weather. Its not hard to convince DH to BD...he has the sex drive of a teenager!
Yesterday I checked twice in the morning, once at 8:15 (after a BM, sorry TMI) and again later at 8:45 (I pee a lot because I drink a lot of water). The one at 8:15 was high, but I could barely touch it. At 8:45 I couldn't even reach it. Today, I have to get to work an hour early, I checked after my morning BM around 7:15 (sorry again TMI) and I couldn't reach it. I checked at 8:45 (same time as yesterday) and I could reach it a lot better. The firmness is still throwing me off a bit, but I think its less firm, but still hard.
I am hoping my EWCM isn't semen, but I realize its possible. Today, it was yellowish/clearish and could stretch about 1 1/2 - 2 inches easily, then broke. It was very slippery, yet sticky. I tried to drop it in the toliet to see what it would do but I couldn't get it off my finger! Yesterday's possible EWCM happened in the morning and mid-afternoon. I wouldn't think semen would still be 'leaking' out after 12+ hours. I read sources that said when in doubt, record it as EWCM, so I did.
I also had heartburn 3 times yesterday, very random. It could have been from the medicine or my cold. But I rarely get heartburn.
I also now see why BBTs are better. My temp yesterday could have been say, 97.46 and today it could have either dropped or increased a little. So I dont really know which right now...obviously. I am going to buy one if AF comes this cycle. Thanks for asking about me and sorry about my ramblings.

I didn't realize you weren't using a BBT. You probably posted that but I have a terrible memory. I think what you are describing sounds like EWCM and not semen. Semen wouldn't stretch like that.
I think you are still fertile but I bet you will see a temp rise tomorrow. You won't see your temp rise until after you ovulated. As long as you are still seeing ewcm consider yourself fertile. Once you ovulate your CM will dry up and your CP will drop lower and be more firm. It kind of sounds like your CP is starting to drop.

Hopefully you get a nice temp rise tomorrow.

Thanks Patty!! I appreciate you taking the time to direct me with understanding my body. I am going to the library this weekend to pick up a copy of TCOYF (as a lot of JMers have recommended).
Gosh, to be honest I was hoping I wasn't fertile anymore lol. I am tired of BDing every night. Oh well, I am determined to do whatever I can this cycle (without OPKs and BBTs.....) to cover my grounds and ensure a BFP!!!!
