Gah! I am going to post this over on Fertility Charting too to get some more opinions. I guess at this point it doesn't matter because I am most likely in the 2ww and all I can do is cross my fingers and hope we nailed it. I am afraid we may have missed my O date. I am really kind of bummed. The good news is though that if I do get pregnant maybe my chances for a girl are higher and that'd be cool to round out our family with another girl.
We bd Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I got a positive OPK on Wednesday and Thursday. We didn't get to bd on Thursday. I planned to bd last night, but went to bed thinking dh would be right behind me and low and behold my little Leo crawls up next to me. I could have moved him, but I was tired and fell asleep. I was thinking we'd be okay and sure I'd get a nice big temp rise today and it'd be no big deal. Well, no huge temp rise today! I played around with my chart a little to see when I'd get crosshairs and where. Well, I plugged in a couple scenarios.
I should mention on Friday cd 16 I accidently got woken up about 75 min earlier than I normally do so I took my temp at 5am and got a number of 96.93, but then went back to sleep and took it again at my normal time of 6:15. Normally I stick with the first number, but when I put the first number in a temp corrector it came up with 97.19 (my temp taken at 6:15 was 97.18) since the number was so close to the temp corrector I kept it on that way with an open circle. The thing is though this number is becoming very important on determining my O date which totally sucks!
If I go with scenario one with a temp of 97.18 on Friday FF gives me an O date of Thursday and my timing is still pretty good for making a baby.

Now if I go with the first temp not corrected FF gives me an O date of Friday and my timing is not so hot.
Scenario 2 chart
The other thing is I only had one day of EWCM and that was on cd13 so I am hoping that makes scenario 1 the more likely case. What do you think?
ETA: one more thing - I played a little more and if my temp was 97.02 or higher on Friday I get an O date of Thursday so what do you think? I know I am asking the impossible, but feedback would be appreciated either way. I really wish I had an accurate temp for Friday! This sucks.
ETA again: I just went to the bathroom and was about to wake up dh for some bding time and I am all gooey down there. I check and I got tons of creamy, lotiony cm. It's white and really looks like lotion. It's a little stretchy, but really doesn't look like ewcm to me. What do you think? I didn't have any cm last cycle and I am not so good at interpreting CM other than EWCM which I am fairly decent at recognizing. I don't remember getting this lotiony stuff before.
Anyone who reads all this thank you. Okay last update. I played with the chart one more final time and if I put the Friday temp back to 96.93 and charted forward it is also possible for me to be Oing today. I am so frustrated. I wish I would have got that Friday temp right and don't know what to make of today's lotiony cm.
Scenario 3
I do realize I should just wait and see what happens, but with Friday's temp making such a huge difference in possible/probable O dates I don't know what I should do with Friday's temp.
