My chart is making my head spin... help. (long but please).

As of this morning I was given dashed CH on CD 11. Um, that was a surprise. For the first time ever I have very obvious EWCM. I now think what I had called EW in the past was just watery. 

Sleep was a bit off last night, I woke up at 3 afraid I was not going to get back to sleep so took my temp so I could compare it to my 5am 'normal' temp. Got about 1.5 hours before the 5am and the difference was only .02 and either temp gave me and open circle, with the dashes, so I used my 5am and marked sleep deprived (noted the 3am temp).

I never got a + OPK. That being said, I was only using them at around 1pm b/c the directions didn't even have me starting them until CD12, but b/c this was my first cycle temping, I started them way too early, once a day, planned on 2x starting CD12.  

This morning after I got the CH, I was a bit confused so I took an OPK with FMU. I am using the IC Wondfo. I got a +, then read that you should not use FMU b/c it can give false positives? 

I assume I should just take a few more OPK's today and see what happens and continue to BD until FF makes up its mind? AND should I put the positive OPK I got at 5:30 with FMU into FF at all? (+OPK today makes CH go away).

 Thank you!!!!

You have a clear shift so it certainly looks like you did O.  Is it possible that the EW you are seeing is actually seminal fluid?

 

ETA: shoot. You have an X for BD yesterday - I read the wrong column. :pours more coffee:  I don't use OPKs so I can't help much with that but when in doubt, keep on BD!

What are the open circles on day 8 and 9?  Are those disturbed?

I suppose it is possible, but that is usually more like water. This has more substance. Trying to explain it without calling it EW I'd say clear runny nose-like. We had sex yesterday mid-afternoon, so I had assumed it would be mostly gone by this morning.

I guess the thing that confused me most was the +OPK @ 5:30 this AM. I have a few with me here at work today and was going to use them ASAP.

Open circle on 8 was sleep deprived. I never get up out of bed, but had trouble sleeping soundly that night.

Open on 9 was similar, but I had to go check the notes I made. My normal temp time is 5AM. I was pretty wide awake at 4:15 so took it then and it was 97.14. Took it again at 5 b/c I did doze back off and it was 96.50 (AC was on and my mouth was wide open so I noted this time but used the 4:15 - open circle b/c it was out of the 30 min window).

It probably can't hurt to use the OPKs at a later time today (I say that because it's what I would do) last month my chart looked schizophrenic and FF gave me dotted lines one day but then after a few more days of data gave me solid CHs three days later than the original lines. I would just keep temping and checking your fluid and since you have the ICs maybe try another OPK this afternoon. Good luck to you!

Great!  That's quality fluid!

You have a pretty typical temp drop on day 11 plus the shift so going off of temps only, it sure seems like you already Od but with quality CF like that, it sounds like you're still fertile because CF dries up quickly after the peak day.  It can't hurt anything to keep doing the OPKs and  BD.  GL this cycle!

OK here is the + OPK from 5:30am with FMU. I am trying to put 2 pics in here but am having trouble. Just took another at 8:45am and I don't think its +.... WTF 

 

LilyPotter218

OPK at 8:45 am. Pretty sure this is - now I am 100% confused. Do I put a + into FF or is FMU unreliable for a +? (PP is FMU)
