This charting thing drives me insane sometimes. I need help!

So, if you remember my 'is this a positive' thread, I ended up putting in a + for CD16, even though it didn't seem like a 100% positive to me.. I had definite positives last night that were as dark or darker then the control line.. and while a few of these were close, they didn't seem spot on. I was OPK'ing 3x a day for a while there, so I don't think I 'missed it' either. But anyway, so I put it in and my temp went up and stayed up for 2 days, so I figured that maybe it WAS a real +. On CD18, FF gave me solid CH's. I am still OPK'ing, since last month I had two +'s quite far apart and I don't think that I ever really O'ed. I have had definite negatives for a few days, but today there was a faint line and I have watery CM/feel very wet (and some 'stuff' was in my cup.. which I guess was EWCM?? It did eventually ball up). My temp dove down today and I am wondering if maybe this is going to be a repeat of last month. I know that a test line means nothing if it isn't positive and blah blah, but when I have gotten + OPK's, they were usually preceded by a few days of light lines, just not positives. So a 'line' must have some value, I guess. So anyway, when I put in my watery CM for today, FF changed my CH's to dotted.. and now I am just so frustrated again.

For a while I thought that I really O'ed and I was so relieved.. but now, I don't know. What do you think if you've gotten this far?


Here are my OPK's from CD15/CD16/CD17.. the two in question are CD16.. and while they are 'close', I just don't think they are definite positives. But I can't stare at them anymore. Babywishes.org (where I ordered from) says that if there is a discrepency, the 'dark' part of the test line must be at least half of the total width of the test line, if that makes sense.. which I don't think mine are. It's so hard because the sensitivity on these is actually twice as sensitive as the Answer OPK's I used last month, yet now I don't know if they are positives or negs, when last month they were definite +'s.

I think that the 2 you have a ? by are negative hun. I dont see them as dark or darker then the control line, that is just me. I would wait it out but to be safe keep Bding hun.
CD17 the one under the 2 with the ? looks the closest to a positive to me hun.

I was afraid someone would say that. I really appreciate you always giving your opinion, it really helps a lot. If none are positives and I didn't 'miss' it (since I was OPK'ing late morning/afternoon/evening for a few days there) then why so many 'close calls' and the temp spike?

I agree that the one right below the two with the question marks look close to + to me.

See, I don't think that one is close to positive at all.. it's the same thickness, but much lighter. Ughhh.

Don't give up! Keep recording all your "evidence" and a clearer picture will finally appear! FF just analyzes all you put in... Just bd every time you get fertile cm, even if you think you already oed. Your chart doesn't look bad-wait and see what happens the next few days.

Good luck!

Forgot to say: I love the pic in your siggy! Adorable!
