My first chart

My first chart finally has crosshairs!! I've never had a cycle this long. I'm still not convinced that the ovulation date is correct since I started charting/temping in the middle of my cycle but exciting anyway!

    So this was my first month charting... This may be a silly question but I've heard a few different answers already from Lurking....I was wondering when FF will add the CHs? Do you have to get through one complete cycle before it does?

    This was my first month too and I got them but they are way off so I'm anticipating a change.

    So are you testing just once a day right now?  I noticed your OPKs were negative but you did get a temp shift...do you think you O'd on CD 8?? That seems so early, but ya never know!

    They will give you crosshairs 3 days after your temp shifts.  The shift must be at least .4 degrees I believe.

    After 3 days above your coverline, it should give you CHs.

    I am testing once a day. I don't think I O'ed on cycle day 8. I'm not sure why I had that shift. My CM and OPK's do not match up with O'ing on cycle day 8. I believe I am O'ing sometime near the end of this week. This is my second time using OPK's and last month I had a single line at the beginning and as the surge got close the control line got darker and darker and eventually matched the test line. I noticed the faint second line yesterday, darker today and I'm sure it will be even darker tomorrow. So again I am thinking I will actually O later on in the week.

    If you only test 1x/day, you could miss your surge if it only lasts 10 hours.  Keep reading TCOYF :)

    I have noticed in the past few months that I have a lot EWCM so I will start testing twice a day at the first sign of that! I haven't even put a dent in TCOYF, it's a long one!

    Skip to Chapter 10 (Charting for Pregnancy, I believe) if you want :)

    Congrats, that's so exciting :-)

    I finally got crosshairs, although they are fake brought on by progesterone. Still exciting to see :-)
