LOL Hubby has one of THOSE types of jobs haha. He does Satellite Comunications for the Fort. He works on the towers and all of the machines. I think I'm just gunna maximize our chances of concieving and hope lol

Well.. I got another + OPK today. as of yesterday my expected O was btwn CD17-19 and now its til CD 20. Hubby is in MD today and will be home Thurs nite. We DTD very early this morning. I assume realistically we should again on Thurs atleast? Ive tried posting my chart, but cant get it into a link

Your cervix is still firm?  What about the cervical os... is it open or closed?  How confident do you feel about your CP observations?  Are you taking them at the same time each day?

Well, generally you're supposed to O within 24-36 hours after an OPK+... were both definitely darker than the control line?  If you're going for it then I would absolutely DTD every day you can until a day after your temp spike.  Your temp is still low so you definitely have not missed O.  You might get another patch of wet (or EW) in the next 2 days.  We'll see!  Isn't charting exciting?

[Mom2IrishBoys]

Hi! HTH did you see my chart? I couldn't get it to post properly lol. I'm not onfident in CP, So maybe i'll just stop checking lol. CF is still wet, but again, that cloudy white color. Yes the Test lines are both the same or darker then the Control lines. OH.. Off topic.. We FINALLY got a buyer for our house! Hubby will be in MD Aug 1st and the kids and I close on the 31st!!

Here are my last 3 OPK's From R-L: R-CD17, M-CD18, L-CD18

Congrats on a home buyer!!  We were not so lucky, but we did find a renter.  We move at the end of July.

I copied and pasted the link in your siggy.  You can always turn it into a link by inserting the little chart symbol, highlighting it and then clicking the hyperlink button (the one that looks like the earth with a link of chain at the bottom-next to the bullets and numbering buttons)- paste the url there. Or just using the hyperlink button- the chart symbol is just nicer looking. 

Yep your OPK's look positive the last 2 days, but definitely darker today so I would say that is your peak one for now (unless tomorrow's is even darker) and assume O is coming 24-36 hours from today.   You could take another OPK this evening to see if it's fading or darkening. Be sure to get undisturbed temps over the next few days so you maximize your chances of seeing a nice clear O spike.  Also remember to record you MOST fertile CF on your chart.  So if you're wet now, change it on your chart.

[Mom2IrishBoys]

Well.. Im obviously computer challenged cuz I couldn't do the link. I put the little chart icon at the bottom of my Sig, highlighted it and clicked the hyper link and put in the url. It comes up w/the URL as a link and the symbol next to it. But when you preview it .. its not even a link anymore lol. Anyway.. going by the cramping on my left side, Id guess that O is most likely happening today lol. I didnt get to go out and get more OPK's, so I will just have to wait for temp shift to verify.

[Mom2IrishBoys]

Im going to get another OPK this evening when Hubby gets home from your neck of the woods.. Going by my CF today.. Im pretty certain I O'd yesterday. You can look at my chart if ya want. I think I may have a chance this month.

[Jaimee]

You are probably right about O on CD 18 though we'll need to wait 3 or so days to verify better.  If it weren't for your very first temp I think FF would have given you crosshairs already.  Yay!  Time to count days!!

[Mom2IrishBoys]

ok, so I count 14 days from today and that HSOULD be my expected AF date?

[Jaimee]

IF your typical LP is indeed 14 days, yes.  That hasn't been confirmed with several cycles of charting yet.  Remember, the average is 12-14 days (according to a poll I posted, 13 was the most common, followed by 10) and regardless of your LP length you can still get accurate results on an HPT earlier if implantation happened earlier than 12 days.  If implantation was quite late, it can take longer to show up on an HPT.

I think I got faked out! My temp this morning was REALLY low! I don't know if thats because dear Hubby's alarm went off TWICE at 4am and 4:15am and then I woke up again at 6. So I tested at 6, where my usual is around 7. OY Im also feeling dull, and achey in my right lower ab. I don't know what to think. Is it possible I geared up to O, had a LH surge and DIDNT? UGH now I gotta go out n get another O test. ::sigh:: I did fall back to sleep after temping (which I didnt think i would) but only for a 1/2 hr and tested again just for the hell of it to see what it was. And it was 97.8 which was JUST under yesterdays temp.

[Jaimee]

Well, waking up at 4 and 4:15 could make your temp a bit higher than it ordinarily would be.  Alternatively, temping an hour earlier than usual would likely decrease your temp by a bit.  But the two might have cancelled each other out!  LOL.  As for temping 1/2 an hour later... well, that usually results in a more severely disturbed temp.  So I would go with your 6am temp and mark the time.  One temp does not  a pattern make so personally I would wait another two days before worrying about OPK's.  Your temp could go back up tomorrow and stay there.  You  might have a fall back pattern.  We don't know b/c this is your first full chart!   Keep careful track of your CF b/c that will be your biggest clue if you have already O'd or if you are gearing up to O again in a few days.

[Mom2IrishBoys]

Damn Hubby! Lol as for my CF I'm pretty certain I Old alread. It's white n milky n on the thicker side. Not watery like before O

[Mom2IrishBoys]

Mrs JAIMEE! If I PM you my password, would you mind changing my url in my Sig to the chart symbol? PLEASE? lol FF finally gave me cross hairs.. Im so excited lol

[Jaimee]

Let me see if I can get it to work for my siggy first and then I'd be happy to do it for you or give you step by step instructions.  Maybe it doesn't work they way I thought it did anymore with this new forum design...

Yay for CH!  Yep, that's probably right.  It'd be nice to see you dry up to confirm completely, but creamy is dryer than wet.  If there is a next cycle you'll have more pre-O temps to work with so that your CL is easier to draw.  It's that high temp in the beginning that confused it and if you'd had more pre-O temps it would have disregarded it (most likely) and figured things out sooner.

  I'm playing around with your chart/hyperlink here...  Yeah... it works in the message, but not in the siggy.  I'll have to ask around and see if you can do it anymore.

[Mom2IrishBoys]

LOL thanks. if i do an external check my cm is dry, you only know its there if I do an internal check

[Jaimee]

Personally I would stick to external checks.  There is some controversy with internal checking for CF.
