Blondie and other charters come in please

Ok, so I'm perplexed about my chart. DH and I are supposed to be TTC this cycle. I normally O between CD 17 and 21. The earliest I have ever O'ed was CD 16 two months ago. I always get EWCM the days surrounding O. My temperatures post O are never higher than 98.56 (and that was in July). I had some cramping on my right side yesterday. I took an OPK and got a negative, as in a second line didn't even show- so it was definitely negative. The last two nights we've slept with our fan off because it's been cold.

I plan on taking more OPK's today.

So my question is what the heck is going on with my chart??? I really hope I haven't O'ed yet because if I did, we missed our chance for this month.

WTF?

tia. any insights are appreciated.

Are you feeling sick at all?

Hrm. I am perplexed then too!! It looks like one more high temp, and you got yourself a coverline. It almost looks like O was on CD 13.... and that might be why you got the - OPK yesterday.

Have you been drinking or anything like that these past 2 nights??

I can't think of why they would spike so early and your EWCM today is strange too. I say give it a few more days, take another OPK this afternoon and see what happens in the a.m.

Nope.

Could my thermometer be on the fritz? It's over two years old.

Yes, I was drinking last night. Sorry I meant to put in that in my OP.

I know, right? I'm so confused. I'm going to be really annoyed if we missed our chance.

I played with FF and plugged in another high temp for yesterday and sure enough it said I O'ed on CD 13. Great.

The only way it would change the O date is if I get a positive OPK. I'm praying for a + today.

AHA!! Yes, go buy a new one and take your temp with both therm's in the morning. See what happens.

See, here's the thing. I bought a new thermometer at the beginning of this cycle. I was using both for the first few days. But there was such a descrepancy between the two. Like my old one, the temp would 97.26 and the new thermometer temp would be 96.06. I've never had a temp in the 96's before. So I stopped using the new one.

I did use the new one today and it was 98.18, while the old one was 98.62.

Hmmm...

Which temps were you charting...the old or new?

Totally looks like it's a thermometer issue to me as well. I used to be so good at reading charts, but since I had DS, my charts are just so whacky. This last month FF had me O on CD 23, but if that was the case, then my luteal phase was only 10 days. It's ALWAYS 14. Something was whacky.

At this point I would trust the OPK more. Since your CM is still giving fertile signs and the OPK is still negative I would think that the thermometer was off or that there was another reason for a higher temperature.
