thanks ladies just needed a quick rant!
probably would have been good to at least cover the bases but there's still time to get the swimmers in position!
Todmommy, I know what you mean. I do that too! I like reading reviews for things but sometimes it can freak you out and make the decision making process more confusing. Sometimes you just have to try something out for yourself!
I'm on cd9 now. Not sure when I'll ovulate but it hasn't happened yet. I suspect sometime around the weekend. DH wanted to bd this morning but I was running behind on time and had to rush off to work
It's sounding good, cupcake and caz&bob! Ovulation must be right around the corner. Keep us posted!
have you tried using an adjuster and seeing what happens if you change it closer to your normal time? My temps are always up and down like that depending on how I slept, if i had an extra blanket or lighter blanket, the temp in my house etc
I'd say stay off the internet but we all know that isn't likely for any of us. 
Those things make me feel so weird, I am a young mom I am 24 and DS is 4 and I feel like the other moms who are older look at me differently, although I have to admit most of this is my own insecurities about it. I felt even more out of place because most of the parents were still in dressy work clothes where as I was in jeans and a tshirt with no makeup and my hair pulled back And to top it off pretty sure I had massive "resting bitch face" (excuse my language) the whole time! I work in social work and had a client go completely haywire right after I left today and spent most of the time between work getting done until orientation on the phone 
Lets just say I wasn't the happiest person before I stepped into an uncomfortable situation. I read for a lot it moves their O day up and then read for some that it pushes their O day back. I'm hoping it pushes mine up a little from where it has been but basically just pushes it back to normal, or delays it. I have been sitting here thinking that I should ask OH to make up an excuse for work to only be out of town for half the week next week or work in town. I have officially lost it!!!! 
Thanks blackrain I'm hoping it works out too! I will be devestated if I O early and he isn't here.
Maybe it was just a wonky temp since it was earlier
So, the doctor said that he would run whatever tests I want. The lab place was closed by the end of my appointment so I will get the blood work tomorrow. We're specifically checking thyroid and vitamin D.
He's really very good about humoring people's requests but he did basically tell me that he doesn't think a 9 day luteal phase is anything to worry about, that until I've been trying for a year I can't get worried, to make sure to have sex at the right time (recommendation was to NOT have sex the day of a +OPK but wait until the day after, specifically because you never know if there's a low sperm count issue), to use OPKs to find the right time, and then went on to say that BBT is not really accurate/effective. Of course, I tried to explain that I don't use BBT to figure out when to BD but that I use it to confirm I've already ovulated but I Think at that point he wasn't listening. I can't blame him, he's battling cancer which is why he's retiring in 2 weeks. And even though I stopped bc in February, we've only been seriously actively trying for 3 months. So I look like one of those women just freaking out too soon.
Either way, I'll still get my blood work. I'm going to to the lab tomorrow.
todmommy - I'm sure you looked fine at the orientation! But yeah, 7 hours was torture. Tomorrow our orientation is only 3.5 hours, I'm so glad! So sorry to hear about your client though.
blackrain - what adjuster did you use? I had never thought of using an adjuster when my temp is off.
