YAH!!!!!!!! Dont be surprised if over the next few days your CHs change to CD21....since your CM and CP match up!  You have your bases covered, so no worries!

I think that may be what happens too. You had fertile cm and your cp was really high on CD21 so they may change it.
I don't see a very strong thermal shift though so I would try to be prepared for the possibility that FF may change your o date all together. I think you have really long cycles if I am not mistaken.
I would keep using the opks if you can.
(Sorry if I missed anything. Still in Vegas trying to catch up with everyone)

Congrats on crosshairs! Your chart may shift around a bit as the other ladies mentioned, especially because you don't have a lot of data pre-O. Keep on temping and watch what happens, I'm sure your lines will turn solid soon.

Crosshairs are red dotted vertical an horizontal lines on your FF chart to show you may have ovulated, then when FF is sure it turns solid. Im SOOOO jelous, wish my chart would get crosshairs!!!

Your o date looks right now that you have today's temp in there and they shifted it to CD21. I think you o'd.
Your cp being closed now is a good thing. It may get firmer over the next few days.

Yes, crosshairs mark your o date. The vertical line shows the day you ovulated and the horizontal line shows your coverline. Your coverline is helpful because you can see the dividing line between your pre-o temps and your post o temps. Your pre-o temps will be below your coverline and your post o temps will be above it. (You may have one or two temps above or below the coverline on occasion)
But it helps you to see where your temps shift.
