Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Month/Cycle: FF won't recognize what I think was my O date (day 14) unless I discount my first bunch of temps for the month. Our AC was out those days, and it was HOT at night. I'm blaming the weird early high temps on that, since I was literally sweating every morning when I woke up. Then we got it fixed, and things got more normal. Looking at my chart, does anyone think this was an anovulatory cycle, or do you think I O'd on day 14? Hopefully I attached it right....
GTKY: What did your parents teach you that you want to pass down to your LO(s)? A love of books! All books!
Update: I caved and POAS when I got home from work. I was able to hold off using the restroom for a few hours, but I think it was still really diluted from all the water I drank today (literally, like, 12+ glasses!) There's definitely a very faint line on the FRER!!! I'm still planning on testing tomorrow with FMU and (at least) once a day after to see (if) it gets darker...
DH and I are going away for the weekend, but I think I'll tell him tonight - since we're going to visit family I don't want them to find out so early, and it's a nice way for us to start the weekend!
CD/DPO: 20/12 or 20/5 (depending on symptoms versus temps)
Timing: -5, -3, -1 or not at all
Testing Plans: not till af doesn't show
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I really think I'm only five dpo based off all my symptoms, but I'm letting ff get my hopes up with my o date being on cd 8. That means I either have cramps or gas, exhaustion or I'm just a bit lazy since in on vacation at the beach.
GTKY: What did your parents teach you that you want to pass down to your LO(s)? The importance of family. Our household was set up and run to promote family time; family dinners, lunches in summer, one TV we all watched shows together. I want family time for my own lo, it's very important to me.
Testing Plans: Here's to hoping I can hold out until Aug 11 (the day I am expecting AF)
Symptoms / Rants / Raves / Chart Stalk: I have had really sore boobs the past few days, which is abnormal for me around this time of my cycle... But I am sure it means nothing (I will not give in to symptom spotting... I will not give in to symptom spotting...). The TWW has become the bane of my existance. If I am not at work I just cannot get it off my mind. It doesn't help that tons of my girlfriends are pregnant right now. And if I could stop crying to Whirlpool fridge commercials and huggies diaper commercials, that would be reallly great.
GTKY - What did your parents teach you that you want to pass on to your LO(s): (1) That expressing love (mom and dad) is the best way to teach your kids how to love and respect others. (2) That you have to try your best at whatever you are doing. It isn't about competing with everyone else (or necessarily being the best) as long as you are trying your hardest at whatever it is you are doing at the moment.
Chart attached if someone wants to stalk pretty please! Original FF O date was day 14 (not a dotted line - it was solid).
Just a newbie here, but I would actually say CD 15, going mainly on your temps. Why the open circles on CD 16 and CD 17?
Thanks for taking a look! The open circles are because I took temps at different than usual times. I get up at 4:45am several days a week for a second job (which ends next week, yay!) and then a bit later other weekdays and sleep in a bit on weekends - 16 and 17 were a weekend. FF doesn't like that so much and gives the different days open circles. In prior months, it's taken my early days as the weird ones, though, instead of the later days...not sure why it's different this time around.

My husband left for his trip this afternoon and I started having an undeniable this urge this evening to POAS. I figured, what the heck, I'll use a OPK (realizing there's no great basis for this) and when it's negative, I'll chill out and keep waiting as planned until Sunday.... And then the strangest thing happened. The OPK lit up the darkest positive I've ever had. So I went for it...
Two unmistakable lines immediately on a Wondfo followed immediately by an instantly positive FRER.
I guess I'll admit to all of the symptom spotting I kept minimizing for days: an episode of terrible heartburn (which I've never had before) after taking a single sip of a beer, sore ta-tas, intermittent mild queasiness, and fatigue that I'd been chalking up to the stress of work. I also had a secondary temp bump a couple of days ago.

I didn't know where else this belonged but I'm going crazy.
** possible BFP mentioned **
I woke up this morning and took a wondfo pregnancy test and an OPK as I have been doing for the last week. Both were positive. Now I have had seven wondfos "faint" positive but negative blood test. My doctor said it's very unusual to have so many false positives at home and a negative blood test. She asked that I retest on Monday. Waiting game is the shits.
I'm CD 38, I have been temping also. My OPK is glaringly positive and turned positive the moment the urine hit the strip. I've never been more confused in my life about my body. Chart attached.

@CoachBeckyCooper Nope, CD 12 was the first night it was fixed. If I add all the temps back in, FF says it can't identify a date for O. :-/
Thanks for the help!
