Cycle/Month: I think this is 7AL. Started TFAS December 2013.
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -3
Testing Plans: ::shrug:: Maybe next week?
RRCS: I stopped temping after O was confirmed. I like it.
GTKY: Have you gotten any good suggestions lately on something new / useful? My hair was getting super oily, to the point that if I washed in the morning by afternoon it looked like I hadn't washed in a week! I swung in to a Great Clips a month or so ago for a quick trim & she recommended I use a normalizing shampoo, and skip conditioner in the shower, just use a small amount of spray in conditioner. My hair is now 10x better. The products are more expensive then what I was using but they last much longer so there's that.
What kind of shampoo are you using? And spray in conditioner?

Even testing Monday at what FF was telling you was 8dpo is far too early ptrillian. Ovulation can occur up to 10 DPO so you might not even have been KU yet even if this was *the* cycle.
I would recommend patience and continuing temping to see what your chart does. No need to go to the doctor's for a blood draw...
As for OPKs what kind are you using? Are you positive they are positive? You might want to try switching to a kind that is easier to interpret
Heheh yes, I, like most of us here I think, am very familiar with those stats. Here are my answers: - Yes, the three positive OPK's were the most blazing positives I've ever seen. The brand is clinical guard, which in hindsight isn't very well reviewed, I'd just ordered them on a recommendation from a friend. Moving forward I'll be using wondfo's. But looking back, these tests were accurate while my expensive CB advanced digital was not. - The reason I tested at what appeared to be 8dpo at the time was because the 3 positive OPKs at first made me paranoid about an ectopic pg. I wanted to know sooner rather than later if that was the case, on the chance that an ectopic does get detected sooner. No idea if that's actually true, but at least I'd have the data. - I didn't go running to the Dr for a blood draw hoping for a BFP. I went to the Dr to try to get to the bottom of my two two-month cycles in the past 5 months. (It's one thing to not get KU, it's another to only have half your opportunities to do so, and unpredictable at that). She just did an hcg test along with everything else. I recorded it on FF because data. That is all.
I have now removed my CB digital 'peak' from FF, which now puts me at 4dpo (http://fertility friend.com/home/5d6d08 for those who are curious)
So you went to your doctor because you had 2 long cycles? Some women have longer cycles.

Yes, and I know, but it's not for me to say what other women should do or what changes they feel comfortable with or what is normal for them. For me personally, this happening for the first time in 20 years of periods, and coinciding with my first time TTC, was something I wanted to investigate and fix if possible. My Dr did not disagree, and also see www.m.webmd.com/women/features/period-problems-what-they-mean-when-to-see-doctor -- it doesn't seem that my experience is outside this recommendation at least. (I also didn't have a Dr yet since moving, and thought now was a good time as any to get one, and my last gyn appt was almost a year ago anyway.)

You gotta steer clear of Dr. Google. The Internet has been cause for many a needless panic and doctor visit for millions of women. When you find yourself tempted to get sucked into the vortex that is false medical advice, you must resist!!

Your medical advice is from WebMD? Oh my.
Long story short, you do you boo, but sometimes bodies are weird & cycles are longer than 28 days. Even if they've been that was FOREVERRRRRRR. I hope your body figures itself out soon. Good luck.

My iPhone obviously felt very strongly about this, since it posted my response 3 times.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Generally we see n00b + testing early + blood draw = overly anxious/ Mis-educated person. Thanks for clearing it up. GL and hopefully you get some answers either way.

I'm confused how 3 positive OPKs = possible ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancies also don't turn a test early. At least not that I'm aware of.
The general advice is 3 annovulatory cycles/cycles over 60 days in a row = should see a doctor. Having what looks like a maybe 40 day cycle is not long. Bodies are assholes and are regular until they aren't and can change when you start something new (like ttc). You are still ovulating and that's important. That being said if you needed a new doctor anyways then it doesn't hurt to ask, but what you're experiencing is nothing abnormal.
TTC can take up to a year for a normal couple. You are on cycle 3. Step away from Dr. Google because it is causing you unneeded stress.
