Ok Patty, based on this mornings temp FF put on as happening on Tuesday! I'll check CM later (one thing I HAVE managed to figure out is that checking it first thing in the morning is useless for me) and I'll notate it on my chart! So fingers crossed that our timing this month was good!!

I kind of thought CD40 might be your o date so it doesn't surprise me that you have dotted crosshairs now. If you did ovulate on CD40 your EWCM should be drying up. So if you keep getting EWCM it could mean you haven't actually ovulated yet. Pay attention to what your CM does today and tomorrow. If you keep seeing EWCM keep bding because your o date is an iffy one and you may still be gearing up to ovulate. I will stalk you again tomorrow. If your temp stays above the dotted coverline I would say you ovulated already.

Ok, so I just went and checked CM and I'm not sure if it would be considered sticky or creamy, but it's definitely not EWCM now. I'm thinking I probably had EWCM prior to yesterday, but prior to yesterday I wasn't going looking for it either. LOL I can't always tell based on what's on the toilet paper, so yesterday I decided that even if I have trouble at first in determining what's going on that I'll check everyday anyway until I figure it all out. However I do need to play around with FF a bit more to see what else I can/should record. Like today for instance, I'm having cramping like period cramps in my lower abdomen and my lower back is hurting. I'd like to find out if there is a way to notate that like you do with CM or if I just have to write it in the notes section. I'm determined that I'm going to do all of this right!

You are one smart cookie. I think that is how you learn. Just keep checking things and note it the best you can. If it is creamy it will look white and lotiony. If it is sticky it will be clear but feel sticky on your fingers. You can chart your symptoms like cramping too. (Unless this is a VIP feature. I am not sure). If you look under where you put your data you will see a bunch of check boxes that you can mark with your symptoms. I kind of thing you ovulated but I want to see a few more temps before I decide.
