Can I get a chart stalk please?

in Trying to Get Pregnant
Hi ladies!  I posted a few days about about being all confused after a big temp spike, and I wasn't sure if it was a result of the few drinks I had the night before.  I got dotted CHs this morning on FF (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4a7fa0), so it looks like I did O.  However, I'm using those stupid CB Easy Adv OPKs in the morning, and Target brand in the evenings, and I've been getting conflicting messages that I don't know how to interprert.  I've had 11 days of "high" fertility readings on the CBE Adv. OPK, the last three of which were all post-O.  None of the evening Target OPKs came back positive, though I do recall the lines on the test were darker than others around CDs 16 and 17 than the others, but still not anywhere close to as dark as the test line.

This is my first cycle charting.  I've read something on here about knowing fade patterns on OPKs - is that what I should have been looking for?  Also, is it normal to get "high" fertility readings 3 DPO?

Thanks in advance for helping this newbie out...I'm thinking if I did O when FF thinks I did, I'm probably out this cycle, but any help in interpreting the data will be helpful for the next one!

    why all the open circles? I'm not so sure you've actually ovulated yet.
    Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

    The open circles relate to the time I temped...I have my alarm set for a specific time each day, but lately I've had days when I've been waking up naturally about 1-1.5 hours prior to my alarm going off.  Since I know I need to temp after 3 hours of sleep, I figured it'd be better to temp then, an hour or so earlier than normal, rather than after having fallen back asleep for just an hour.  Is that proper?  Next cycle I'm planning on setting my alarm an hour or so prior to when I have to get up so that I can be more consistent.

    I'm not really convinced you've O-ed yet either. Do your crosshairs go away if you discard that one high temp?

    Either way, I'd keep charting and HIO just in case.

    Doesn't look like FF is sure you ovulated or not. Probably because of the negative opks and open circles.

    It's a BOY

    If I discard the one high temp, FF moves my CHs to CD17, but they're still dotted. I hoping you ladies are right, and that FF is just confused because I boozed it up ;) I'll keep going and stay positive and hope that I'm not down for the count yet! I appreciate your feedback and support... This first cycle is confusing indeed!

    I don't think you've O'ed yet either. FF sometimes just gets confused. I bet once you add more temps it figures things out.

    **UPDATE** - it looks like you ladies were right!  I FINALLY got a peak read on the CB Adv OPK this morning (13th test was a charm) and FF took away my dotted CHs!  I'm so glad I posted though, because I thought for sure I must have O'd, and if it weren't for you ladies telling me to keep going, I'm not sure I would have HIO'd with DH last night :-D  Woot woot!
