RRCS: I got my first ever + OPK!!!!! Timing not that excellent since DH has been tired and working a lot but managed a quick one before work lol. I'm just excited for a positive OPK ha
GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? I'd be able to clone myself so my clone could work while I play
Cycle/Month: 6 CD: not sure because I do not have my phone with me, and I am terrible at remembering.... I think CD16....
What are you doing to get KU? Pretty sure I o'd, so waiting for crosshairs.... and all the rest of the usual stuff
RRCS: I am failing at temping... and its not helping me get crosshairs at all. I cannot stay awake for the life of me.... I either fall back asleep with the thermometer in my mouth, or am so asleep I do not even realise its not on.... ugh... its really embarassing and frustrating actually. I have no idea what is wrong with me... so my chart looks awful.
GTKY: super power... hmmm... I would love to be able to time travel... if that counts!
R/R/CS: For some reason I'm extra anxious to O this month. Hoping that my FW falls in between my two work trips this month, which looks like it might if I O on CD 19 again (I only have one other month of data to compare, so who knows). I feel like my chart looks wonky this month. Chart stalk, anyone?? www.fertilityfriend.com/home/548988 My Ovulation Chart Also, this is my first month using OPKs. They're annoying. I hope when I get more FF data and know when to anticipate my O date, I won't have to use them so many days in a row.
GTKY: Mind-reading, for sure! I hate not knowing things!
Edit to fix link AND to add...YAYYY this was my 100th post!!
I'm not sure what you want stalked...Are you asking for an opinion on when you'll O, based on the one chart you previously had? Who knows, but it's a good place to start that you may O when you did last cycle. You may not either. Bodies are assholes.

I should have been more specific than "wonky". I haven't been temping for very long but usually it's normal for my temps to have a difference of almost a whole degree or more from day to day, and these are all very close together. I was wondering if my thermometer was broken, but then I bought a new one and they're still all close together. For some reason I don't trust these temps that are all within a few tenths of a degree from each other.

Your temps look fine. Be glad they aren't all over the damn place! You've probably gotten more consistent about taking your temp and how you take it this cycle. Or you just have smooth temps. Who the hell knows. I wouldn't worry though

Are you basing your definition of "normal" on the SIX pre-o temps you took over the course of 13 days last cycle? Please tell me you have more charts that just can't be seen on FF.
Also - did you switch thermometers mid-cycle? Don't do that.
No I have more charts than that, I'm not sure why you can't see them. I was an absolute fail at temping that month so I gave up and started over with a new cycle, but I had previous charts before that. I did switch thermometers after 3 temps this cycle...I didn't know that would make a difference. Thanks for the info.
getzystark, thanks for the info, as well! I'll reign in the crazy now.

Thermometers, just like many other things like blood glucose monitors, are not precision lab instruments. They are allotted a large margin for values. You're looking at trends with the BBT therefor switching mid cycle messes up that trend with that specific thermometer. It looks like your temps aren't much different so just pick a thermometer and stick with it. It's working.

Color me relieved...I'm no expert in how to make different months show up on your display, it's somewhere in their non-intuitive settings.
I have charted for 15 cycles, mostly vaginal. Most cycles my temps look like the Rockies/an intense ping pong tournament. I've had one or two that weren't so fluctuous. I don't think it means much, maybe you are sleeping well or not drinking much, working out more or less or a million other potential reasons not to get hung up on.
You were super early in your cycle when you changed thermometers, i would put a note in where you switched thermometers so if your chart looks crazy later on you will know why. That early it probably won't fuck with your crosshairs but if it were closer to O it definitely could have.
I'm glad you found my post, this is all good stuff that I did not know. And my lightbulb just went off...I'm not drinking nearly as much (or hardly at all) lately. I bet that is making a difference in my temps. (The last few months were rough in terms of stress, and thus wine consumption.)
