Jenna Marie - this is my first month charting and my 9th cycle of trying as well. I'm not as far along with you as I haven't seen a post ov temp rise, but I already feel more aware of some secondary symptoms leading up to ov than I did in previous cycles, just because I am charting. I hope you can find some reassurance in the fact that you are learning more about your cycle, even if ff adds some confusion to the issue. The way I see it, I'm going to keep DTD until ff says I've ovulated. It is just a tool and if I get into a situation where I disagree with it, I'll probably go with my gut feeling.
Ablacketer - I'm so glad you are feeling better about your chart and temps!
