Ridiculous!

Hi all! I need the "charting experts" to take a look at my chart and help me interpret what's going on.
Here's a little backround which may (or may not) help. I have been temping and charting with FF for seven cycles and this is my first (and probably last) cycle using OPKs. In the seven cycles, my average O date is 16DPO (lowest 13DPO, highest 20DPO) and I've never seemed to have any issues Oing or anything like that. This cycle has been wacky from the beginning. My temps have been higher during AF for the past couple of cycles or so, but would lower after AF left (or near the end), there would be a clear thermal shift and then that was it. This cycle, my temps have been erratic and I've had several positive OPKs. It seems to me my body keeps gearing up to O, but doesn't follow through and I'm left frustrated and wondering what's going on?!

I suppose with the temp drop and *clearly* positive OPK I got this morning, perhaps I'm going to O today. However, I've already thought the same thing on CD13, CD17 and CD18.
So, I guess I'm wondering what you "experts" think about all of this?? Thanks in advance.

I know how upsetting it can be to get a positive opk and then not O. Just remember everyone has mos where they dont O in fact its said that at least 2-3 mos a yr you wont O. Are you stressing out when you got the positive opk before because that can cause you not to O as well hun.

(((hugs))) I'm sorry you are so stressed. It is very frustrating to think you are goign to O and then don't. I agree with Magan that the stress could've caused you not to O. Keep charting and bding is the best advice I can give you.

I agree with the other girls. You might not have O'd if you were stressing. Believe me, I know how frustrating it is to get tons of +opks. Those things almost put me in the nut house last month
