Is it confusing to FF to chart it? I've never noticed EWCM during my LP before this cycle and wasn't sure. I left it off because I feel like I've seen before that it can confuse FF because it's supposed to be "fertile" CM. Not that it really matters in my case, I have my usual looking chart with a clear temp shift but was just curious since it was new for me.
Yeah, sure, it can confuse FF & may cause your CHs to go from solid to dotted. But if I'm not mistaken, FF takes your temps into account much more than secondary signs like CM. So if you've got a clear shift, a day or so of fertile CM after O isn't gonna make FF go "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING HERE?!"
Number One: Born 06.16.2009 BFP: 01.17.2014 / MC 02.05.2014 BFP: 03.08.2014 / MMC: 05.07.2014 Dx: Partial Molar/GTD. Benched until 01.2015 Number Two: Born 07.22.2016
R/R/CS: my dog is driving me nuts getting up around 2:30 every morning. I temp at 5:30 so I just barely have that three hour sleep window.
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? If I watch something scary and have socks on, I have to pull them all the way up. If I don't have socks on I either have to cover up or have all my limbs on the couch/bed.
Testing plans: I told my self I wasn't going to buy more tests and just wait, but at Target yesterday they had FRERs with a mail in buy one get one free coupon and a $5 gift card when you by two, so I bought two to have on hand.
R/R/CS: Can I get a chart stalk? FF put my O date at CD19 but I had poor sleep that night. If I discard that temp it puts my O at CD 17 which more lines up with my CM. My Ovulation Chart
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? I had a hood piercing for years and loved it. My XH made me take it out because he didn't like it. I have often thought of getting it re-done, but it took three tries the first time and I'm not really up for all that again.
Hard to know for sure, but I'm someone who believes in secondary signs as well as temps. I'd say CD17, but you won't know for sure until you see what your LP is.
Hey everyone! Back from a long weekend visiting the in-laws. More on that below
Cycle/Month: 16
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: Not super, just -2 and O (but that's better than some months we've had...)
Testing plans: None for now
R/R/CS: My long weekend started with a bang - forgot to take off my toe rings for my pedi and one popped off during the foot rub and went right down the drain. Then realized as we were on our way to the airport that I forgot my thermometer. Thankfully I had just gotten solid CH the day before so I wasn't too worried, but I was still annoyed with myself for forgetting it.
Had a good time in Florida, even though it was super hot and humid. Yesterday before we left though, we visited a small museum where FIL volunteers. He introduced us to some of his coworkers, and after the usual family chit chat, one woman asked FIL if he has any grandkids. When he answered no, she said "Well you need to get on that!" to MH and I. Clearly she's a complete stranger who has no idea what we are going through, but it still stung. Then on our flight back, there had to have been six or seven small babies on board. Just kinda hit me weird, because clearly there were a lot of grandparent visits happening and I wish that had been us. Soon, I hope.
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? I've never had a nosebleed. (Lame, but that's all I can think of right now...)
R/R/CS: feeling bloated/blah. Also we got a puppy, she's a tiny little shih tzu and she's helping to take my mind off ttc
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? Hmm My body is really good at getting rid of freezing when I go to the dentist to the point that half the time they have to give me more partway through if I'm having a cavity filled

Cycle/Month: 8
CD/DPO: 26/14 (I don't trust this date)
Timing: ??
Testing plans: yesterday, but not with fmu. Bfn
R/R/CS: So how do you manually change your O date on FF? I don't think my period is coming today and I think I Od way later than cd12. My Ovulation Chart
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? I haven't had a broken bone or have needed stitches despite the fact that I was a huge tomboy growing up. Knock on wood!

Cycle/Month: 2AL
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: -3, O
Testing plans: 6/5
R/R/CS: It is so goddamn hot out. It's been over 90F the last two days, so not only is my house grossly hot, but so is my classroom. I can't get away from it.
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? I hate going DOWN stairs. I've had two knee surgeries and going up is fine, but they're really shaky going down. Not to mention I've fallen down stairs and smashed my head into a concrete door before... (that was pre-surgery)
mustloveerica that looks like you have a great plan in place. Good luck! pinkcat I think FF will change your CH if you get another rise. Keep temping on time the next couple days to see what happens. housecarder my vote is CD17 rablissful shakiness going downstairs is typically from quad weakness which can happen after surgery. What did you have done?
Cycle/Month: 4
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: -4, -1
Testing plans: 6/1
R/R/CS: I don't have any tests in my house to try and prevent myself from peeing on them early. I almost caved last night and ran to the store but I resisted.
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? I have a parakeet named Fabio that is 10 years old. This little guy has been through a lot with me and I hope he keeps on going for a while more.

So true. FF mostly gets confused when you don't have a clear temp shift. It will start grasping for straws with any additional data you give it, in an effort to give you CHs.
CM is tricky for me personally. I tend to overanalyze it. I am kicking myself for screwing up the CBFM this month and not having backup OPKs on hand.

mishy2010, I had 6 months of physical therapy then two lateral releases (one on each knee), with close to 3 months of PT after each surgery. I was a junior in high school when I had the surgeries.
I was a dancer for 10 years and my patellas were WAAAYYYY out of place (which was always an issue, I would have needed surgery eventually for it, but since I danced it made it an issue much sooner).
Oh jeez, rablissful there isn't much you can do with the quads when your patella aren't cooperating. I wish there was more to do for issues like yours I hope they don't give you trouble other than the stairs!

They allow me to predict the weather At this point I'm more shaky going downstairs due to my head than my knees (unless I'm carrying something heavy).
They do hurt now and again, but they are way better than what they were. Then again, I also have fibromyalgia so everything hurts now and again...

awkwardturtle I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! What FF says looks the most likely O date, but since you missed so many days in the follicular phase it's hard to tell for sure.

Cycle/Month: 13 (6th charting + 7 NTNP)
CD/DPO: 19/7 (FF says 9, but I call BS)
Timing: -3 and O
Testing plans: Maybe Saturday? If I remember.
R/R/CS: I have not been participating much lately. I am feeling like we are not going to achieve pregnancy without intervention, so I am trying to just enjoy my son right now. I still obsess a bit, but I've been doing well at stepping back emotionally from TTC.
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? My eyes and my hair are the same color. My hair is golden blonde and my eyes are golden yellow. I mean, because you can't really call hair yellow and you can't call eyes blonde. But same color, really.
Cycle/Month: I'll say 1, although we were mid way through the cycle when we decided to start trying.. , past O, but we weren't super careful...
CD/DPO: 22/I think 11, FF says 7. I don't trust my temps. 11 makes sense with CM, past cycles. Will link later
Timing: -4
Testing plans: Trying to hold out till Friday - DH's birthday. My normal luteal phase is 12 days, so I may cave tomorrow.
R/R/CS: Pretty much on board the crazy train. I feel nauseous (although I do frequently anyway..), increased CM (is this a thing?), and a few other things that make me wonder. Don't worry, I'm judging myself too haha.
GTKY: What's one strange fact about you that not many people know? I'm morbid. I'm always worried something will happen to DS, DH, or me.
theres a reason we encourage the temping, because the temps outrank CM as an indicator of ovulation.
I know that, but I never get much sleep, so my charts are pretty horrendous. When I was charting to try for DS, they were quite clear. I'm not saying ff is for sure wrong, but I have my doubts

That chart looks like mine last month. I agree with FF though, that looks like the most probable date temp wise.
yeah I think these "symptoms" (i.e. perhaps me being a crazy person) are making me wishful. I was just looking at it and it doesn't seem so sporadic. My April chart was a mess. We'll see, going to try and wait till Friday to test. There's no chance of me being normal and just waiting it out haha.

I think it's that one high temp on cd12 that's throwing your brain off thinking it's sporadic.
