R/R/CS: My temps aren't as high post ovulation as they have been in the past, it's just been a weird cycle for me this month, and I hope that I've truly ovulated. My Chart ps CD17 is super high because the heat was up to high in the bedroom and I tossed and turned all night.
*question* for those who use OPK, how do you determine if it's positive? I use Wondfo's and I've never had a second line that was as dark as the control line. Generally I have a very light second line, but for 1-2 days during my cycle it will get darker and be almost as dark, but definitely not as dark as the control line. Is it ok to mark this as a positive on FF? I don't want to skew my results if it's just a non-ovulatory LH surge.

@ReesaAnne16 I think it's ok to mark the darkest line you get as a positive, but I would put a note in your chart about it, if you didn't already. And looking at your chart, I think that looks like a good temp shift overall, so I think FF is probably right with your O date.
@ItHappenedOnce -The reason we put month/cycle is because some people have cycles much longer (or shorter) than a month. So someone might be on month 5 of trying, but only cycle 2. Or on their 3rd month but cycle 4, etc.
Timing is when in your fertile window you had sex. You really only need to include -4 through +1, anything outside of that won't result in pregnancy, and +1 is only included in case your O day is off (same with -4, I think)
Chart Stalk is when you post your chart from Fertility Friend and ask other people to take a look, something like what @ReesaAnne16 did above. When you want someone to stalk your chart, it helps if you put *******Chart stalk please******* at the top of your post, so people know you have a question.

I was feeling cranky and wanted to drink again, but something told me I should test again before I had another large drink. Well I took a wondfo and saw a super squinter. Then I shook my husband down for an FRER and a Rite Aid Cheapie and they all said the same thing! Positive! Positive! Positive! My DH teared. I face timed my parents and told a bestie! I'm so excited I thought this cycle I was def out after cramps yesterday and the BFN, stupid crazy brain!

@jennifer0428 I had previously given DH the tests to keep from me, due to my lack of self control. I had to use my "assertive" voice to convince him to give me that FRER )
