Frustrated and confused!! Any help is appreciated!

[Kimberly28]

Today is cd19 and I've been having positive opk's since cd16. That's 4 days in a row!!! Yes, I'm sure I'm reading the tests right. Half of them were with CBE digi and the other two are 'Answer' and I've double and triple checked the instructions and the diagram showing what a pos and neg test look like. It's DEFINITELY positive! The test line is darker than the test line! Last night DH and I did have an argument but things are better now. And my temp rose a little bit this morning. Any chance I've already ov'd or that I'm really about to? I'm starting to get worried as this isn't normal for me and I'm now afraid that I'm having another an-ovulatory cycle and it's gonna mess with our upcoming TTC date. I don't need this right now!!
Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I'll take any input right now. I just need to understand what the hell is going on with my body!? Ugh!! If someone who is familiar with charting would look at my chart, I'd greatly appreciate it!! Please and thanks!

Were any of the pos tests very clearly positive (very dark lines/test line darker than the control line) ?
As far as i understand, FF only counts it as ovulation if you have had 4 rising temperatures in a row but it could also be the 3 constant ones and then the higher one after that (cycle day 19 on your chart) Not sure. So, if you go by that theory, you would have ovulated on cycle day 16.

I am by no means an expert and am confused myself sometimes because FF can be very helpful but also very confusing!
Try not to stress out about it too much.
What does FF say if you discard the temperature on cycle day 15? (it does show it as "sleep deprived" so you must have not slept well that night and that can also cause a slightly higher temperature or just plain simple an inaccurate temperature)
Sorry i'm not much help but i hope you will be able to figure out your cycles

Since your temperature is rising and the test was pos, you might have ovulated CD 19 or even 18. Depends on the temp tomorrow.

Hi. Thanks for your replies. The first two pos tests were with the CBE digi and the last two are with 'answer' opks and the test line was definitely darker than the control line both times. So yes, they were pos. Since my temp seems to be on the way up, I'm hoping/thinking I did ovulate cd 19. But yeah, I think you're right that if my temp stays up tomorrow that FF should detect and pin point it for me. Boy what a pain in the neck cycle this has been.

Oh and just fyi, I know I marked when we BD'ed on FF but we used condoms. I wanted to figure out timing because we are going to be using The Shettles Method once we start trying for real. Right now it's more of a "dry run" so to speak so I know there is no chance for a bfp which is fine. This way I can also put in any 2ww symptoms that I get and then when we try for real I can pull this chart back up and compare my symptoms to know if they are normal 2 ww/AF ones or ones I should pay more attention to as they could mean an upcoming bfp at that point. But anyhoo, thanks again for your time and your replies. At this point I'll be glad when this cycle is over as it's been so frustrating.

Hope you have a nice day.

Haha no problem

Yeah, I also put when we BD and we are also still using condoms but i like to know when we DTD and what my body did that cycle, etc.
