Reb: Your chart is looking nice!
Spoomie: So. Are we supposed to comment on your chart, or not?
AFM: So, got a glob of EWCM tinged with brown blood this morning. Am really really hoping not to O until Friday or Saturday as I won't see OH until tomorrow night. Also got a High reading on Lucky (who never gives me a Peak and shall now be referred to as Liar Liar Pants on Fire, or LLiPoF--pronounced LilliPoof). I'm wondering if the increased EWCM is due to the fact that I've started eating a grapefruit every morning and taking Evening Primrose along with my green tea. If you were me, would you use an OPK this afternoon? I mean, I never get a positive on those things either (probably because I drink gallons, literally, of water every day and therefore cannot hold my pee for too long). And if I do get a +, how long after that is my O window? On my knees hoping, that, after last month's LATE O, this month won't be too early. Sigh.
Hi Sam
I agree with you, Reb is looking strong, but she seems convinced timing was not good this month. Let's see what tomorrow brings, hoping and praying....
As for you! I hope you manage to stave off ovulation until you see DH at the weekend. It could be that the grapefruit is bringing the EWCM early which is good, just a shame you aren't able to bank some sperm while conditions are favourable to be ready and waiting for the eggy! RE OPKs, I too drink lots and find that my line is rarely as dark as the control but, by taking them every day and in conjunction with LLiPoF
I can see when it's at its darkest and go on that. I also tend to get ovulation pain too so that's probably the best signal for me and means I actually didn't need to waste even more of our money on testing gadgets!
As for my chart, DH is not inputting the data on FFF yet, hiding my readings away in the family safe (or an obscure folder somewhere on his computer) to be revealed at a later date when I will play catch up and input them all in one go. So, all you'll see for now is a blank where my temps should be. Not sure it's helping, still worrying about them, it's just that I don't know what they are! Maybe that's even worse!!! We'll see, I may not last till 12dpo when I had planned to read the thermometer for myself to see how things stand. I figure 12dpo would give me a good indication as my luteal phase has been a few days short for last couple of months.
Also, re: EWCM, I had been a bit scant since mc and this month did fresh grapefruit, green tea, EPO and - I hate to confess to deviating from my au naturelle path - Robitussin. My herbalist also beefed up my vitex massively this month when fine tuning my mixture. Not sure what did it but I was so delighted to have more than I've had for months. Bizarrely, I've also had it at 3 and 5dpo even though I've stopped all but green tea and have switched my EPO for flaxseed. Considered the possibility of a second ovulation, but too exhausted from previous BD that I couldn't face getting down to business again just in case there was a second base to be covered! Has anyone had EWCM so soon after ovulation? I've had it once a day or two before AF, but never this early and it was DEFINITELY clearly EWCM. Naturally I've scoured the FFF chart gallery for a sign but that has provided no answers. Puzzled......
pissaholic!
at exactly the optimum moment. 
Here's some for you too, Sam!
