Seems you and I have VERY similar cycles! I started getting my negative OPK's last night too. Went to sleep, and woke up with a CRAZY temp spike! Looks like I definitely O'd yesterday! It is waaay above all my other temps.
I feel like I definitely have my bases covered for this month, so FX! I will BD again tonight, then skip tomorrow, and BD once more the day after that to cover all our bases. I am trying out the SMEP this month to see if it does the trick for us. I have to admit it is pretty tiring though LOL
Hopefully I will get a BFP so I can have a break from all the BD'ing LOL!!
So how were things for you today?
Yep thats a pretty clear temp spike...You O'd last night. Yay...I think I did to but am a little confused with a few things.
First of all I don't know which temp to record for today. I had a really restless sleep (prob because I was anxious about my temp in the morning which is very ironic). I slept on and off between 1:30am and 6am. I normally take my temp at 5:30am. Last night I had been lying in bed awake for about an hour I think when I decided to take my temp at 4:10am and it was 97.5. Then I finally got a bit of sleep, maybe 30mins before I took my temp again at 6:00am and it was 98.0. I was confused so took it again 2 mins later and it was 97.5 again. Which temp should I use? Or should I pick a temp in the middle of them? Both temps are above all my other temps for this cycle, so I'm thinking I prob O'd last night.
However this morning FF gave me cross hairs saying I was 3dpo. I think they are wrong though based on my OPKs. Do you agree?
And on the subject of OPKs, I have been taking them twice a day. Once with my FMU and once in the evening at about 7:30pm. CD20 I got positives in the morning and evening, CD21 I got a postive in the morning and a negative in the evening. Then this morning I got another positive?? I know your not meant to use FMU because it can be too concentrated and give false positives....so based on that I'm thinking mabe I should only base my OPKs on my evening tests, in which case I should only record a postive for CD20?? What do you think?
Then if all that thinking is correct I'm thinking I O'd yesterday overnight and today I am 1dpo? I certainly hope so!!!
I totally get what you are saying. It is really hard to come up with a temp for you because you didn't get much sleep, so I would just stick with the higher temp that you got.
Also, you have an open circle for cd 20. That might be what is throwing your chart off. Can you change something with that and see if you can get rid of the open circle? That may change the dotted cross hairs as well.
I would definitely disregard your FMU tests, and go with the evening tests. I usually with SMU, and in the evening, but then it is getting close to O day I test with SMU, at 2pm, and around 7pm as well. Also, when I get a positive the first time I will record that day as positive. Then the next day I will get positives until the evening when I get a negative, then I will record that day as negative since my surge ended that day.
Looking at your chart I would say that you O'd CD20, and may just be rising slowly. It may be the open circle that has FF confused.
Also, do you temp vaginally or orally? I tried doing it orally but my temps were way too erratic, so I switched to v temping. It works sooooo much better for me because I was sleeping with my mouth open. Do you do that too? Because that may also explain the slow rise in temps bc your mouth is not as warm as it should be when temping.
I'm really curious to see what your temp does in the morning! I'll be back on a little bit after I get up to see if you have recorded it yet.
No matter what though, I think you definitely have your bases covered for this month. FX we both get some good news! When do you think you are going to test? We should test on the same day! LOL
