I hate dotted crosshairs!

I used to get nice solid crosshairs. Now, all I get is dotted ones. I mean you can tell I ovulated so I know that is good, but I can never seem to tell exactly what day. No matter what method tuning/override I still get dotted ones. To be completely honest I'm kind of thinking I just O'd yesterday, but not sure. I am not feeling very optimistic about this cycle and just want to be done with it. We didn't bd yesterday or the day before so if I O'd yesterday I'm not holding my breath on a bfp.

I got a decent argument for both O dates. CM wise cd11 looks better because I really started drying up and by cd12 was really, really dry and have been dry since then. I had some lotiony cm on cd9 along with O pains on cd9, 10 and some on cd11, but not so much. My CP though didn't shift down until today really, but I know it can take some time to shift and I am still really new to checking cp so it might not be completely accurate. Plus OPKs I think lean more towards cd13, but I don't know. (Also, I have had at least 1 cycle 24 days, 2 cycles 25 days, 2 cycle 26 days in the past year. I wasn't charting, but I did track AF this past year. The rest of my cycles were 27-29 days and then I had one 33 day and one 35 day cycle thrown in there, but you can see short cycles aren't all that uncommon for me.)

OPKs were positive on cd10 and all day cd11, but gone by the morning of cd12. I know you all can't really help me much so just venting. I played with my temps a little and depending on how things play out my O date could be changed to cd13. Anyhow, just whining I guess.

The reason you have dotted crosshairs is because you have marked fertile cervix positions after the temp shift. FF did that last cycle to me when I had fertile CM after suspected O date.

I took those out and still only got dotted crosshairs so I left them in for now.

FF is all knowing! LOL!

I'd try taking out the 2nd + OPK and the HSO on CD 13 and see if that makes them go solid.

If you did O on CD 11, you might be having a fallback rise. I've had those before.

Well, I played with my temps and tried a few different scenarios and just about all of the future temps that I tried moved my O date to cd13. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. The thing that sucks is starting to count down your days past O and then the idea of having to start counting those days over again. Anyhow, going to suck it up and wait it out.
