I thought we could revive this group, it was so far back in the archives, so I started a new thread!!
Who else is charting?
Cycles TTC: BFP on first cycle trying in Feb, then mc, now on 2nd cycle post mc. 2nd cycle of charting
CD: CD8, AF only ended yesterday
POAS date: Unknown... wonky cycles so I don't know when I'll be ovulating! Hopefully I'll be POAS by the end of July.

I am, but you already know that. Currently I'm trying to decide if it would be OK for me to stop charting during this TWW. I'm thinking I might. I'm horrible ... always over-analyzing every little dip and rise.

@BabyBunny: I actually think it's a great idea to stop temping once you've confirmed O! I obsess too, and I was thinking about hiding my thermometer once I O. It'll be hard but probably cause less stress and anxiety!!!!

I am charting. This is my 2nd month. I am still trying to get use to it. I hate waking up at 6 on the weekends to take my temp but at least I can go right back to sleep. I had a positive OPK yesterday, so I should be ovulating today. I messed up and didn't get my temp for today, but I am hoping tomorrow will show that temp increase.

Fun thread - I like to see other people's charts.
Cycles TTC: 3rd cycle TTC, been charting off and on since last November (to get the hang of it)
CD: CD27, 8DPO
POAS date: Thursday (11DPO), although I haven't made it past 9DPO before AF shows up in the last two cycles, so we'll see.

I'm not charting and just going to go for it this month. I think my biggest thing is stressing because I want a BFP so badly that's is messing me up. It's hard not to stress, but I'm hoping by not using OPKs and just BD every other day until diablo is scheduled to show up will hopefully result in something positive for once! Good luck ladies!

@Smurfette: I'm "lucky" in that my dog wakes up around 5:30 on the weekend so I do too, no alarm required!

@Rachel: Just looked at your chart, sorry you had a temp drop today! I'm hoping it's implantation 
@Alivoo01: For me, charting helps keep me sane since my cycles are highly irregular. It helps to confirm O so I don't POMS (pee in many sticks) when I haven't even ovulated!!! For people who are regular, it's probably not as useful

Cycles TTC: BFP on first cycle trying in April, mc in May, and this is my first cycle back at it!
CD: CD6, AF is still here.
POAS date: Unknown... there was 6 weeks between my d&c and AF showing up so FF has stopped giving me helpful information. Assuming I go back to a 32 day cycle, I'd O around the 4th and expect AF July 21st ish so POAS July 25th?

@alison206: we could be cycle buddies!!!! I'm hoping for O around the same time

@sslm: That's why I chart too. Knowing that my cycle should end within a 3 day window is so much nicer than a 3 week window.

I had charted for awhile and then stopped because it got really stressful. I'm now back to it and now that we've tried unsuccessfully for over a year, we're starting all the tests to see what the heck is wrong. My husband goes in for his semen analysis on Wednesday.

@meaganceleste: Good luck with the testing, I hope you get some answers!

@sslm: Thanks! I'll be back with an update once we know something.

I'm CD11 today and I saw possibly a tiny hint of EWCM. I am hopeful but not putting all my hopes in O'ing soon
cantaloupe / 6397 posts
How's everyone doing? CD16 here and still waiting to O. Hopefully it's coming soon. Trying to just relax and let it happen but it's hard!!!!
My temps have started to level out and I am hoping that's a good sign.

I don't know what is going on with mine

@Smurfette: ok, yours is offically wonky. Still all above coverline which is good!
I am in the middle of dying for a new temp. I was on vacation for the weekend with my mom and sisters. They don't know that we are TTC, so I haven't taken a temp since Sat morning. I'm an addict!! http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3a19b7
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@Grace: Look at mine again today. What the heck is going on? I had some wine on Sat night, could that have caused the spike on Sunday? Ok, it was more like 4 glasses 
Usually I don't see a spike from booze.
Your chart great lady! Are you testing on Friday still?
cantaloupe / 6397 posts
@Grace: ok seriously. Your chart is so pretty!
@Smurfette: Yours is weird... Do you have others to compare it to?
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@sslm: I updated it so it shows last month. This is only my 2nd month charting. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3c395a

@sslm:@Smurfette: grumblefrackinbeginsnatchen....BFN this morning. Grrrrrrrr.
As for your chart, Smurfette, they always say that the simplest answer is the correct one, so my guess is that the second spike is the fluke. Then you just have the one early spike, which I've had plenty of times. Plus, you are still above coverline and maybe it will rise more still.

@Grace: Booo! I can't believe you got a BFN! Your chart looks so good! When are you expecting AF? Do your charts usually look triphasic?
cantaloupe / 6730 posts
@Adira: Sort of. This is a weird chart for me in that there arw definite rises and then the temp holds steady. I usually have a slow rise after ovulation for a couple days, then another slow rise around day 6. That usually just peaks and them starts to fall. I've never had it rise like this and just stay there. Expecting AF Thurs/Fri.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@Grace: I can't believe you got a BPN either. Although 12 DPO can still be early to test. If AF doesn't show on Friday I would retest then. I won't update you on the July thread yet.
I am thinking the 2nd spike is a fluke too. I just hope I start to see a rise tomorrow and the rest of the week!

Holy crap, Grace! Don't lose hope!!!!!
I just started charting but here's mine:

cantaloupe / 6397 posts
@Grace: definitely too early to lose hope. When I got my BFP in feb I had a bfn 12 dpo. Positive on 14 dpo.
cantaloupe / 6730 posts
@sslm: @JoJoGirl: @Smurfette: Sigh, you gals are right. An FF just reminded me that only 65% of tests are positive at Day 12. Thanks for the encouragement!
cantaloupe / 6397 posts
@Grace: No problem! I'll be chart stalking you tomorrow to see what happens Hope your temp stays up!!
I randomly took an opk and it was stark white. I figure I either ovulated this morning, or I am not ovulating yet. I am curious to see my temp tomorrow morning.
cantaloupe / 6397 posts
@Smurfette: just stalked your chart. Glad to see a high temp for you today!
cantaloupe / 6397 posts
@JoJoGirl: nice high temp this morning!!! I hope your crosshairs show soon.
cantaloupe / 6206 posts
@sslm: it's an open circle though- tested an hour later than usual 
awesome temp spike for you though!
And GRACE!!!!!! POAS!!!!
cantaloupe / 6730 posts
@sslm: I try to never discard a temp. I just try to look beyond the wonkiness. It looks like you were right about O though!
@JoJoGirl: Lol, I did. Still negative. I think my body is just screwing with me. The only thing that's got me hoping a little is that I haven't had any cramps. Not one and I usually get them for a week leading up to AF (which is due tommorow or Friday)..
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@sslm: Why do you want to discard it?
@Grace: Yours looks great!!
I was glad to see my temp up today. I hope it stays that way. AF is due Fri or Sat
cantaloupe / 6397 posts
@Smurfette: on Monday night I had a terrible sleep and only got 3.5 hours. I woke up at 3 am and couldn't go back to sleep. Took my temp at 5 anyways. Just not sure how accurate it would be, but it isn't really affecting anything anyway, so I think I'll leave it!
