Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 10/10
CD/DPO: 27/9
Timing: Ok
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday, only because I knew I'd have a couple of drinks if it was negative. Which it was. I will probably wait till Wed to test again.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I had a bit of a temp spike this morning. My chart looks different than past months, so that's kind of messing with my head a bit. And my boobs hurt quite a bit this morning. More than normal. Everything about this cycle has been strange for me. First time ever getting +OPKs twice in a cycle. Late O.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Right now, my choice would be San Francisco. Right in the city. I miss living in a big city -- well, I miss some things. We live in a medium city right now.
Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 16/17
CD/DPO: 22/11
Timing: not very good O minus 1
Testing Plans: broke down and tested the past couple days all BFN
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: sore boobs, tested 9,10, and this morning all BFN pretty sure were out
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Hmm I like where we live, if anything I would make our town bigger that way you don't know everybody
Testing Plans: A week from today! Can't come fast enough!
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: DH is convinced I'm pg. I love that he's so excited, but I have my hopes waaay up now. If I'm not, I'm going to be very very disappointed.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? In a big city. I used to live in Manhattan and I loved it. I wish DH, DD and I could afford to live there as a family. I would also love to live in Venice, Florence or London.
Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 1/2
CD/DPO: 37/ 8 or 10
Timing: Ok
Testing Plans: None.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: To be honest, I've been searching for phantom symptoms, and they're nowhere to be found. I feel totally normal. Maybe a little tired, but I'm sure that's due to the late nights I've been having this weekend.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? On a huge property with woods, streams, hills, plenty of room to go for long walks and discover new things all the time.
Testing Plans: DH hid my tests from me and knows I am holding out till Thursday, 12 DPO, there is a work function that night that may involve drinking (well there will be drinking if BFN or AF shows up)
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: no symptoms, just trying not to get my hopes up, and read to much into every fart cramp.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I love were I live, Tampa, FL, but if I had to pick somewhere else, probably a beachfront house in Antigua, or some other Caribbean isle.
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday, only because I knew I'd have a couple of drinks if it was negative. Which it was. I will probably wait till Wed to test again.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I had a bit of a temp spike this morning. My chart looks different than past months, so that's kind of messing with my head a bit.

Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents:I went to look at my chart this morning (because obviously looking at it will make me pregnant, right?!), and saw that I get 5 free VIP days. So now I can obsess EVEN MORE!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?well I'm actually living abroad right now. It's been an amazing experience, and I've grown so much as a person and seen more of the world than I ever though I would. But right now I'm feeling homesick so I'd want to live in the northeast, near my family.

CD/DPO: 20/1....maybe. Hopefully yesterday was O day
Timing: O-3, O-2, O-1, O. DH is worn out
Testing Plans: Not until AF is late
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I thought I was going to O all week but didn't until yesterday (i think!). If we move on to the next cycle I'll know not to start so early. My chart is slightly funky due to interrupted sleep
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? DH is from Colorado so I would say somewhere in the mountains
Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 2/3
CD/DPO: 41/14
Timing: meh
Testing Plans: I've already tested twice, BFN....I don't know what my next move is?
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I'm just frustrated right now! I tend to have long cycles (around 35 days) but this is just getting ridiculous! At this point I just wish SOMETHING would happen, if it's AF I am fine with that I am just ready to move on to the next cycle!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Anywhere by the ocean!
Timing: O-3, O-2, would have been better is DH wasn't out of town this weekend!
Testing Plans: Well I say that I will wait this time because I don't need to be spending more money on tests.... and last cycle I tested way too much. I will try to wait 12 days. Let's see how that works out...
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I am just annoyed that I might have missed my peak day since DH was away.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Paris or Barcelona
Weekend go by too fast! It will be a busy Sunday trying to get chores done and the hubby throws in a random social visit this aft. I don't want to go, but he wants me to go... so... two less hours on my Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/ 7? 4?
Timing: 7DPO, O-3, O-1, O. If 4DPO, O-3, O, O+1
Testing Plans: Trying to wait until at least next weekend. I hate when I hear how people have had BFPs at 8dpo. It gets expensive to test, so I remind myself it doesn't really matter if I know a few days earlier, I would still have the same due date and be pregnant the same amount of time.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I am biitchy this morning. Usually that means I am heading into my PMS week... I am also exhausted since my DD has decided to get up at night multiple times, so that might be cause for the bad mood.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? By the ocean! And closer to my family. We live near my IL's, but it's not the same.

Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 2/3
CD/DPO: 32/13
Timing: We had GREAT timing this cycle
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday and today, both BFN
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents:
I think I'm out this cycle. I've been spotting for the last 4 days. My temps are still up but I'm just waiting for AF now so we can move on the the next cycle.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I've been on a Paris kick lately so I think I would have to say Paris!

Happy Sunday to you, too! Cycle/Month: 2/2CD/DPO: 30/10Timing: -3, -1, +1Testing Plans: BFN this morning, but it's early. No set plans; I'll wait to see what my temps do. Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: NTTCR - we found out yesterday we have to buy a new furnace, and also we thought we had someone to buy our old car but when we put a new battery in it yesterday it wouldn't start, so we can't even count on that money to pay for the furnace. Grrr. We'll still be able to afford it, but $2K for a new furnace is going to hurt. On the bright side, now we won't die from carbon monoxide poisoning this winter. And just think of all that home equity we're building ::sigh:: GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Realistically, we're planning to move to Colorado sometime in the next couple of years. Ideally - Italy. Or maybe Belize. There are too many choices! I would probably live on a yacht and sail around the world at will. ETA: Right now I would settle for someplace where I didn't need a furnace.

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
Timing: as good as we can do, DH travels fulltime and is only home on weekends so we get in what we can. Which is why I'm not charting; I think I'd be more upset if I knew my window was only while he's out of town!
Testing Plans: when period is late. My cycles are typically very regular 2829 days. Still may test next weekend while DH is still in town; would prefer he find out in person, and would prefer not to keep it a secret for a week!
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: had really really bad cramps Friday, which I also had around implantation with DS. Been a bit crampy ever since.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Right now we are house hunting so anywhere with a big basement and yard to amuse my very active DS, and room for family to visit and help out!! So... Suburbs of Chicago! Lol.

I tested this morning with FMU again and BFN. I knew I shouldnt get myself excited Im sure AF will be here tomorrow. On to month 22.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: The only thoughts I have right now include lots of cursing so they are not approprite to type. I just do not get it!!!!!!!!!!!

Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: No symptoms. I wouldn't mind a chart stalk though.
Are those emoticons fist bumping??? Love it!
Do you have any specific questions about your chart? It looks pretty good/accurate to me. The only thing that is a little weird is your CP doesn't exactly indicate O on the day that you have CHs -- but the other indicators do, so that's a little tricky. But even if you might have O'ed a bit earlier, you still have good timing.
Testing Plans: I don't know yet. I am anxious to see if our first medicated cycle worked, but I am sick and tired of seeing BFNs.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Sometimes I feel like my lady parts are defective. Most people said IUI was pretty much painless and felt similar to having a pap. Mine however was not. I had some pretty intense cramping during the IUI, which apparently is due to trying to pass the catheter through my curved cervix. My doc also warned me that I might see "a few drops of blood" which really meant I would have heavy spotting the rest of the day. I am now sitting here 24 hours later with light cramping and super light spotting. I'm sure this is just normal for me since I had the same issues with the HSG, but it just feeds into my "why can't I just be normal" feelings.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I like living where I am at. We are close to my family and fairly close to DH's family. It would be nice to have a bigger/nicer house, but for right now our house is fine.

I don't know that I agree with FF on my O date because I had the same temp 2 days in a row...
I can see why you might think it is 2 days earlier. GL

Timing: looks pretty good, we will see
Testing Plans: probably won't test, unless AF is really late
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents:i've actually had no phantom symptoms this cycle, I just got back into temping after taking a few months off, so if you want to look you can, I wish my doctor would hurry up and call with my referral to the RE already.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I would probably stay where I'm at, only in a bigger house though! We live in a small town, love it! Just close enough to the city if we need to go.

Cycle/Month:4/4
CD/DPO: 20/5dpo
Timing: 0-3, 0-2,O-1, O+1
Testing Plans: Next weekend.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Not really happy with my temps this cycle. I had a gradual climb post O and that 98.7 temp was on the lower end of my post-O temps last cycle. It's hard not to think the egg this time around wasn't as mature as the egg last time but then again I really shouldn't be looking at last month's chart as the standard since it ended in a BFN. Also the fact that I have higher temps than everyone else on the board bothers me.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Somewhere where we could live on 2 or 3 acres with fertile soil, trees and a pond. Somewhere where it doesn't go without rain for 6 months (as it does where I am now). Somewhere close to a big Californian city, and somewhere where we won't have to pay like $2k a month to own a tiny house on said plot of land.

I say this is the most un-snarky, nice way -- it's silly to worry about your temps being higher than everyone else's. That's just the way your body works. It is nothing to worry about.
ETA: FWIW, I frequently have post-O temps in the 98.7--98.8 range. That's only 1/10th of a degree lower than your highest (except for the open circle).
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I had a bit of a temp spike this morning. My chart looks different than past months, so that's kind of messing with my head a bit.

Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD/DPO: 22/4?
Timing: eh, not so good. I didn't think I'd O that late, so only O-3 & O-2.
Testing Plans: don't know.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Still bummed about the late O. We would've had awesome timing if it would've been a few days earlier.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I am happy where I'm at. But I would like to give a big city a try - like right downtown.
Testing Plans: I will probably test tomorrow (9DPO). I don't really mind seeing BFNs, and with a 10-day LP I need to use up all these HPTs somehow!
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Yesterday DH asked for the first time, "When will we know if you're pregnant?" I started to explain the whole concept of HPT accuracy increasing with days past ovulation. Before I actually got to the answer, our T.V. show came back on and I lost him. So apparently he's interested, but only during commercials!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Kyoto, Japan. Or possibly somewhere in Hawaii. But only if we had enough money to travel back to visit family a few times a year.

Thanks I really need to stop Googling everything like a maniac.
Good luck with your chart this month, it's looking really good.
Timing: eh, not so good. I didn't think I'd O that late, so only O-3 & O-2.
Hi ky. Looking at your past charts, you frequently have a small rise before a big one. I'd guess you might have O'ed earlier. But O-3 and O-2 are not that bad regardless!
Testing Plans: Maybe 11dpo, depending on how my chart looks
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Not really
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Rhode Island.. Which is like 5mins from me lol.. I live in CT. I've always loved Rhode Island, the whole state is like one big "small town" and it's really quaint and homey.

Timing: Excellent (O-6 though O+1, some days twice)
Testing Plans: Nov 2 if I can hold out that long. Probably not.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Nothing at all, but wouldn't expect to at 2dpo. Give me a few days and I'll have them all! LOL.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? New Orleans.
Due with #5 April 22, 2015. It's a girl!!!!!
Yes it was planned, yes we know what causes that, no we are not on public assistance, and yes we will be getting cable after this.
Testing Plans: Still not sure, but I'm going to hold out as long as I can. For sure no sooner than next Saturday.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: This morning FF changed my crosshairs to one day later, which is fine, because either way our timing was good. I'm still just so excited that I have a confirmed O... let's hope my temps stay decently high.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? This is a pretty lame answer but I would want to live in the same area I do now. Minnesota is awesome.
Timing: eh, not so good. I didn't think I'd O that late, so only O-3 & O-2.
Hi ky. Looking at your past charts, you frequently have a small rise before a big one. I'd guess you might have O'ed earlier. But O-3 and O-2 are not that bad regardless!
I thought that too.. but then my temp dropped today. So I'm wondering if the last couple days were my small rise. Oh well though. I'm just going to make sure I keep more OPKs on hand!
Timing: Pos OPKs on days 12, 19, 20, and 21; and sex CDs 12 and 14-21 straight.
Testing Plans: Thursday at the earliest, which is 1-2 days before AF is due (I always get AF 13-14 days after my first pos OPK), and 11 DP when I *think* I Oed (2nd day of my 3 pos OPKs in a row).
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I'm having verrrry mild on and off cramping the last two days, and twingy boobs today. Both happens on BFN cycles, too.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Pretty close to where we are now, but in our own fabulous, completely paid off home.

Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I'm just frustrated right now! I tend to have long cycles (around 35 days) but this is just getting ridiculous! At this point I just wish SOMETHING would happen, if it's AF I am fine with that I am just ready to move on to the next cycle!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Anywhere by the ocean!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19/1
Timing: O-3, O-2, would have been better is DH wasn't out of town this weekend!
Testing Plans: Well I say that I will wait this time because I don't need to be spending more money on tests.... and last cycle I tested way too much. I will try to wait 12 days. Let's see how that works out...
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I am just annoyed that I might have missed my peak day since DH was away.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Paris or Barcelona
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: CD28 7DPO
Timing: O minus 1 O plus 1
Testing Plans: Thursday
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: One minute I'm optimistic and the next I am positive this isn't the month.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Italy
Your peak days are the few days before ovulation so don't worry, you still had good timing this month.
Weekend go by too fast! It will be a busy Sunday trying to get chores done and the hubby throws in a random social visit this aft. I don't want to go, but he wants me to go... so... two less hours on my Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/ 7? 4?
Timing: 7DPO, O-3, O-1, O. If 4DPO, O-3, O, O+1
Testing Plans: Trying to wait until at least next weekend. I hate when I hear how people have had BFPs at 8dpo. It gets expensive to test, so I remind myself it doesn't really matter if I know a few days earlier, I would still have the same due date and be pregnant the same amount of time.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I am biitchy this morning. Usually that means I am heading into my PMS week... I am also exhausted since my DD has decided to get up at night multiple times, so that might be cause for the bad mood.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? By the ocean! And closer to my family. We live near my IL's, but it's not the same.
Cycle/Month: 2/3
CD/DPO: 32/13
Timing: We had GREAT timing this cycle
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday and today, both BFN
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents:
I think I'm out this cycle. I've been spotting for the last 4 days. My temps are still up but I'm just waiting for AF now so we can move on the the next cycle.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I've been on a Paris kick lately so I think I would have to say Paris!

Cycle/Month: cycle 6 TTCAL. TTC since Aug 2011
CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: great.
Testing Plans: plan to test at 9dpo, only 3 days to go.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: crampy. I know it's too early for symptoms.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
On a beautiful beach near a cute town with great shops!
DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome.
131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD/DPO: 23/? I don't chart, yet...
Timing: as good as we can do, DH travels fulltime and is only home on weekends so we get in what we can. Which is why I'm not charting; I think I'd be more upset if I knew my window was only while he's out of town!
Testing Plans: when period is late. My cycles are typically very regular 2829 days. Still may test next weekend while DH is still in town; would prefer he find out in person, and would prefer not to keep it a secret for a week!
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: had really really bad cramps Friday, which I also had around implantation with DS. Been a bit crampy ever since.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Right now we are house hunting so anywhere with a big basement and yard to amuse my very active DS, and room for family to visit and help out!! So... Suburbs of Chicago! Lol.
Cycle/Month: 21/21
CD/DPO: CD 27/ 13dpiui
Timing: excellent
Testing Plans: Im done testing and Im just going to wait. 11dpiui at night I got a BFN, 12 dpiui i really thought there was a faint line and even compared it to the one from the night before. I tested this morning with FMU again and BFN. I knew I shouldnt get myself excited Im sure AF will be here tomorrow. On to month 22.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: The only thoughts I have right now include lots of cursing so they are not approprite to type. I just do not get it!!!!!!!!!!!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Id love to pack up and move to Messina, Sicily.
Are those emoticons fist bumping??? Love it!
Do you have any specific questions about your chart? It looks pretty good/accurate to me. The only thing that is a little weird is your CP doesn't exactly indicate O on the day that you have CHs -- but the other indicators do, so that's a little tricky. But even if you might have O'ed a bit earlier, you still have good timing.
CD/DPO: CD 16 / 1 DPO
Timing: decent O-2 and IUI on O.
Testing Plans: I don't know yet. I am anxious to see if our first medicated cycle worked, but I am sick and tired of seeing BFNs.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Sometimes I feel like my lady parts are defective. Most people said IUI was pretty much painless and felt similar to having a pap. Mine however was not. I had some pretty intense cramping during the IUI, which apparently is due to trying to pass the catheter through my curved cervix. My doc also warned me that I might see "a few drops of blood" which really meant I would have heavy spotting the rest of the day. I am now sitting here 24 hours later with light cramping and super light spotting. I'm sure this is just normal for me since I had the same issues with the HSG, but it just feeds into my "why can't I just be normal" feelings.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I like living where I am at. We are close to my family and fairly close to DH's family. It would be nice to have a bigger/nicer house, but for right now our house is fine.
TTC #1 since August 2011

September 2012: Start IF testing
DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA Me (32): Slightly low progesterone, hostile CM, carrier for CF, Moderately high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA
October 2012-May 2014: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, and 1 failed FETw/donor embryos
November 2014: IVF w/ICSI #4 Agonist/Antagonist with EPP and Prednisone, Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, and IVIG for immune issues. Converted to freeze all due to lining issues. 2 blasts frozen on day 6!
January 2015: FET #2 Cancelled due to lining issues
April 2015: FET #2.1
PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
When do you think you O'ed?
I can see why you might think it is 2 days earlier. GL
Looks promising! GL
I need to stay out of here but I am so excited for you all.
Baby Chugging born 12.28.13
induction due to HELLP
Yeah, you could definitely make a case for those days. But regardless of CD15, 16, or 17 you still had good timing. Good luck!
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: Timing was off this month, only hit O-1
Testing Plans: Wont test until AF is late. In my mind, I have already moved onto next month's plans. Not feeling positive this month.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: No symptoms at all.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?I would love to live in NYC. But not sure I would like it once I was there full time.
Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 8/9
CD/DPO: 19/5
Timing: okay, O and O-2
Testing Plans: none, maybe on 11 dpo when we are going to a Halloweenarty where there will of course be drinks
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: none...just hungover from one of my friends wedding last night
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? That's a good one...probably somewhere that still has all 4 seasons but doesn't get freezing freezing cold like Indiana
Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday! Good morning.
Cycle/Month:4/4
CD/DPO: 20/5dpo
Timing: 0-3, 0-2,O-1, O+1
Testing Plans: Next weekend.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Not really happy with my temps this cycle. I had a gradual climb post O and that 98.7 temp was on the lower end of my post-O temps last cycle. It's hard not to think the egg this time around wasn't as mature as the egg last time but then again I really shouldn't be looking at last month's chart as the standard since it ended in a BFN. Also the fact that I have higher temps than everyone else on the board bothers me.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Somewhere where we could live on 2 or 3 acres with fertile soil, trees and a pond. Somewhere where it doesn't go without rain for 6 months (as it does where I am now). Somewhere close to a big Californian city, and somewhere where we won't have to pay like $2k a month to own a tiny house on said plot of land.
Cycle/Month: 5/6
CD/DPO: 30/10
Timing: o4 through o.
Testing Plans: I stupidly broke down and tested in the middle of the day yesterday. Won't test until Tuesday now.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: none.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Closer to dh's family or mine. We both relocated for work.
I say this is the most un-snarky, nice way -- it's silly to worry about your temps being higher than everyone else's. That's just the way your body works. It is nothing to worry about.
ETA: FWIW, I frequently have post-O temps in the 98.7--98.8 range. That's only 1/10th of a degree lower than your highest (except for the open circle).
Good luck!!

Good morning everyone. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!
Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD/DPO: 22/4?
Timing: eh, not so good. I didn't think I'd O that late, so only O-3 & O-2.
Testing Plans: don't know.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Still bummed about the late O. We would've had awesome timing if it would've been a few days earlier.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I am happy where I'm at. But I would like to give a big city a try - like right downtown.

Cycle/Month: 7/7
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: O-2, O-1, O, O+1
Testing Plans: I will probably test tomorrow (9DPO). I don't really mind seeing BFNs, and with a 10-day LP I need to use up all these HPTs somehow!
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Yesterday DH asked for the first time, "When will we know if you're pregnant?" I started to explain the whole concept of HPT accuracy increasing with days past ovulation. Before I actually got to the answer, our T.V. show came back on and I lost him. So apparently he's interested, but only during commercials!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Kyoto, Japan. Or possibly somewhere in Hawaii. But only if we had enough money to travel back to visit family a few times a year.
Thanks I really need to stop Googling everything like a maniac.
Good luck with your chart this month, it's looking really good.
Hi ky. Looking at your past charts, you frequently have a small rise before a big one. I'd guess you might have O'ed earlier. But O-3 and O-2 are not that bad regardless!
Cycle/Month: 6/6
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: Good.
Testing Plans: Maybe 11dpo, depending on how my chart looks
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Not really
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Rhode Island.. Which is like 5mins from me lol.. I live in CT. I've always loved Rhode Island, the whole state is like one big "small town" and it's really quaint and homey.

Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 13 / 2dpo
Timing: Excellent (O-6 though O+1, some days twice)
Testing Plans: Nov 2 if I can hold out that long. Probably not.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: Nothing at all, but wouldn't expect to at 2dpo. Give me a few days and I'll have them all! LOL.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? New Orleans.
Good morning everyone!
Cycle/Month: 3/5
CD/DPO: 52/5
Timing: O-2, O-1, O, O+1
Testing Plans: Still not sure, but I'm going to hold out as long as I can. For sure no sooner than next Saturday.
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: This morning FF changed my crosshairs to one day later, which is fine, because either way our timing was good. I'm still just so excited that I have a confirmed O... let's hope my temps stay decently high.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? This is a pretty lame answer but I would want to live in the same area I do now. Minnesota is awesome.
My Chart Me: 29 H: 29
DS born August 2013
I thought that too.. but then my temp dropped today. So I'm wondering if the last couple days were my small rise. Oh well though. I'm just going to make sure I keep more OPKs on hand!

Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD/DPO: 27/7??
Timing: Pos OPKs on days 12, 19, 20, and 21; and sex CDs 12 and 14-21 straight.
Testing Plans: Thursday at the earliest, which is 1-2 days before AF is due (I always get AF 13-14 days after my first pos OPK), and 11 DP when I *think* I Oed (2nd day of my 3 pos OPKs in a row).
Phantom symptoms, chart stalk requests, thoughts/vents: I'm having verrrry mild on and off cramping the last two days, and twingy boobs today. Both happens on BFN cycles, too.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Pretty close to where we are now, but in our own fabulous, completely paid off home.
