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.

Scenario 1 chart


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.

I changed my interpretation to FAM and hot diggity dog I got crosshairs today! FAM puts me at 3dpo either way no matter what I do with Friday's temp. I am crossing my fingers and joining the 2ww. Thanks for replying to my super long post. (Patty was ignoring me today. I couldn't get her out of bed, lol, but I'll surely bug her later.)

After reading all of that, I would have done what you did and used the second temperature which was closer to the time when you would have normally temped. Especially since the adjusted temp puts it .01 degree away. So really that sounds right. I think FF is on track with you in thinking that you O'd on Thursday, not Friday.

Btw, if we had to vote, I vote for Scenario 3 just because I like that super high pg looking temp jump! Seriously though, I think you O'd on Thursday. And once more for good measure...

Sorry yesterday was a slacking off day for me. I am not reading your whole thread because we already talked about this on the phone. I think you might be preggie! I just do.

GOOD LUCK!
