    What are you doing to get KU: temping/charting, opk's, cm, sex!

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm pretty sure I ovulated on Saturday! Tomorrow will be my 3rd high temp, ff should give me solid cross hairs, and I should be moving over to the TWW! Here's My Ovulation Chart
    if you want to look at it.

    GTKY: Do you have a pet?
    Nope! Maybe one day, but right now I just don't want extra the responsibility.


    *** spin off question: when you have sex really late at night, like around midnight or later, do you mark it as pm or am for the next day?

    What are you doing to get KU: all the things. Started getting crazy and drinking grapefruit juice.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Getting annoyed I haven't O'd yet. I know, I know, I'm not a robot and my body can switch things up whenever she wants! This is my first month with temping and using OPKs in addition to checking CM (which I've been doing all along). It helps to take some of the guess work out of it, but I'm getting impatient!!!

    GTKY: Do you have a pet? Yes! We have a 10 year old Lhasa Apso named Kip. DH and his college roommates got him as a puppy so I blame his behavior issues on being raised by his 3 drunk dads. ;-)

    @mommy grams - I go by the clock on that, so if we BD before midnight, I count it as the current day (PM), or if it's after midnight, I could it as the following day (AM).

    @labacker thanks! It's so borderline that it probably doesn't matter which one I pick, but it's been bugging me. I did switch it to am for the next day because it was after midnight.

    @ljwisniew hooray for high temps! Mine was too! Watch out TWW here we come, lol!!

    @LWilliams1219 if your temp goes back up tomorrow, and stays up, I'd guess you o'ed yesterday. I had 2 days of opk's and then a negative, so you may still want to do another opk. They only show when your body is gearing up to o, your temps will confirm what day you actually o.

    My name is annoying, sorry!

    Hmm, that is interesting. Have you been testing throughout the day? It's sometimes possible to miss your LH surge. But temping will really help you figure out if/when you're ovulating...the waiting game just sucks! Have you plugged in future temps? Does ff give you cross hairs?

    So far I've been testing with FMU since CD 12 until yesterday. I tested all day yesterday. 7:30am,10:00am, 1:30pm, and 7:30pm and the only one that was SLIGHTLY darker was my 10 am test, but it was nowhere close to a positive. I'm starting to think I'm in the .1% that can't turn an OPK test positive even when I'm ovulating. Or I'm just OPK test challenged. Maybe I should switch brands? I looked through the the "positive OPK test" photo gallery in FF and I didn't see one post that used First Response OPK... And I went through like 7 pages.

    I haven't tried plugging in future temps.. I'll try that now!

    What are you doing to get KU: First month temping (so interested to see what happens with that), opk, and sex during the right times ^_^

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Rant that I'm hungry and there's no food that doesn't require cooking.... bleh

    @mommy grams is there a general rule of thumb as to how many times per day you should use opks? I've only been doing FMU, but feel like I should do more after reading this! I love POAS so this might become a problem, lol.

    I've recently learned a lot about this here... You actually shouldn't be using them with FMU, and you should use them a few times a day or more. Some even say evening is when they see positives.

    What are you doing to get KU: temp/ charting, BD EOD, checking cm, opk

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I think I O 'd on cd 15 but FF will not give me cross hairs until I have one more higher temp. I think it is do to my temp surge not going up very high the first couple of days. My temp did spike on CD 19 and stayed up today close to that. I just hope to see one more higher temp tomorrow so that I can confirm O.

    GTKY: Do you have a pet? I have 2 dogs and a cat. My DD has a bearded dragon too:

    @Carazona5 is right many suggest not using fmu...but I did and had no issues. I did about 3 per day (morning, afternoon, evening/night) just to see if I had caught my surge. After the second day of positives it finally went back to negative.

    so i added in future temps for tomorrow and Wednesday and it says that I ovulated yesterday but its giving me dotted line crosshairs because of my negative OPK tests :-/  It also says that if I ovulated yesterday that it would mean I ovulated early and given my usual luteal phase length may cause me to experience a shorter cycle BUT originally it had predicted that I would ovulate on CD 13?... FF just likes to rain on my parade.

    I did 4 opks a day from 1030 am to 1030 pm. I was able to see it go up and then down this way. I really recommend it! I also started right after AF and I O'd way earlier than FF suggested I would so I'm so glad my goal to having a complete chart/poas addiction helped me catch my really short FW.
