Do you all agree with the cycle day 14 O day? It am new to reading charts but it looks to me like it was day 12. I could be wrong though. Link to my chart: <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5985eb">My Ovulation Chart</a>
It's hard to tell without your CM. Did you not chart it because there really wasn't anything there?
I'd say CD12.
I can't see any other cycles. Do you usually O the day of your positive OPK or the next day?
EDA: wrong day
This is only my 2nd month charting so haven't seen a routine yet. Last month, FF said I Od the one day I was too busy to test (CD 12) and it fell between a - and +. OPK. I didn't chart the day after because I'm still learning what is "H leftovers" , pre-seed, or CM. Thanks for looking. I vow to get better at charting all my signs next month because it's frustrating when you look back and stuff is missing
I'd say 12 except getting a + OPK on 13. Was that a super blaring positive?
Both days were super blaring positives. I usually get light lines that gradually get darker (wondfos) then I have 2-3 days of dark as/darker than control line. Then it drops to nothing! I was thinking CD 12 looked better temp wise for my O date. Thank you for looking at it. I am getting better at reading the charts but still get a little confused sometimes.

I'm so sorry if this info is "duh" to you, but I just wanted to share in case it wasn't! A general rule of thumb is that if it soaks right into toilet paper, it's semen. If it sits on top and is shiny, it's likelier to be EWCM. And definitely don't check if you are/recently were feeling aroused, because that fluid can be pretty similar but isn't the same thing. (I've never used Preseed so I can't give advice on that!)
I understand the confusion of trying to figure out what your body's particular patterns are!

I don't think it was CD12 - your temps in the days that followed were still below the cover line. It's really hard to say with those missing temps, but I believe it could have been CD14 or 15. Usually O can be on the same day as OPK or up to 2 days after. Then you have your sticky CM, so I don't think it was later than CD16. So I think your timing was either -3 or -4. Is there are reason you didn't HIO on the days you got positive OPKs?

Actually, we did BD on CD 12 and 13 but I didn't mark because DH couldn't finish. I stopped even attempting after those 2 failed attempts because he was beating himself up. I figured I would give it a rest till he decided. He did not know it was my FW. I didn't want to add more on him but I was so disappointed.

Gotcha. Totally get it - sorry to bring up a tough subject. That is not an uncommon experience and it seems to get better with the right communication for a lot of folks. But it is hard!
I agree with PPs about it being CD14 or 15. You can also try checking for CM after a BM. I don't know how to describe how to do that without making it sound weird or overly complicated.

TCOYF also recommends doing a few minutes of kegels before checking your CM - I guess that it pushes some down through the cervix.

Maybe I wanted it to be CD12 so our chances were better. Thank you ladies for reading and giving me a reality check. Now I will quit second guessing FF.
