Hi to everyone who is just as frustrated as me about all this ovulation stuff, what happened to BD a couple of times and yeah 'BFP'

Anyway any advice on my situation will be great.

So I have been doing my temps everything morning (around the same time, and before i get up). I use maybe baby twice a day, I check my CM all the time, and check were my cervix is, and I use OPK everyday at 2.00.

I was putting in my information into Fertility Friend website and it showed I ovulated on CD 17 because my temp went up. (Last cycle my temp really drop down to 36.3 and next day it shot up to 36.7). But I made a note that on CD 16 & CD17 my OPK showed to lines but the result line was lighter than the control line. I read my leaflet and it said the result line needs to be the same colour or darker then the control line :banghead:
Also i haven't noticed any EWCM, or did I miss it?

So did I really ovulate? And if I did I BD two days before and on O day, could this still be a good chance? :fingerscrossed:

So pls have a look at my chart and any suggestion will be great.

Hi again

This is a silly question - but how do you put a website address on for other people to view. I thought I did it right?

Hi again

This is a silly question - but how do you put a website address on for other people to view. I thought I did it right? you need to go to sharing, set up homepage, and then copy and past the link there, look at my signature, it will look like that, with a different number

Hi Rachael,
I tried using temperature as a guide to ovulation, but my charts were always a mess and I was never able to pinpoint a day. I was a shift worker at the time, and I believe that my strange hours made my temps all over the place. In the end (even though my temp chart never really showed an increase in temp), I got pregnant, so I must have been ovulating. I relied on watching my CM and I ended up using a maybe baby.
I guess what I'm trying to say is not to put too much emphasis on the temp chart! I don't reckon it's ultra-reliable. You may have missed your EWCM, but with me it was present for a few days prior to ovulation so it was pretty obvious, but this may not be the case for everyone.
Good luck - I remember what a frustrating task it is TTC. Everything will work out in the end:fingerscrossed:

I'd say you O'd on cd17 or 18, but that you just happened to miss the LH spike on your OPKs to give you a strong line. If you got faint lines on both CD 16 and 17, it sounds like you caught your spike on the way up and on the way down, but not right at its peak. Either way, you would have O'd shortly after seeing your first faint line.

So if you O'd two days before this, then it sounds like you have a great chance!
