This is my first month trying the strips. I got a second line (though not as dark as the control) on both Monday and Tuesday. I didn't note them as positive on my chart, but now I'm wondering if I should. It was there Monday and Tuesday but nothing last night. Monday would have been CD12 and Tuesday CD13. I'm normally a 26 day (28 max) cycle. Could CD12 or CD13 been my O day? Should I change FF to say those OPKs were positive?? Take a look at my chart and see what you think ... note that with todays temp I forgot to take it because I had to go downstairs for something, and didn't remember til I was already down and took my temp then. It was only 2 minutes after I had gotten out of bed, but I went downstairs, then had to go back up for the thermometer. I don't want to totally disregard the temp though. If I had taken it before I got up, would it have been higher? I think it would have, and so that makes a difference.

Help. What do you think??

I've been testing once a day (usually at 7 p.m.) since CD6. Over last weekend I did test twice a day. Since I can't use FMU, I'm not home from work until almost 7, so thats why I've only been testing once today. Of all days to screw up with the temps, it was today. I wonder if I should just disregard today's temp altogether.

If you look at my chart from last month, it was my first month temping and I did ALL of my temps after waking up and going downstairs. I figure it was consistent because I did that every day. This month I started from the beginning taking them in bed, at the same time every morning. So if you look last month, my temps were higher, so I'm thinking for me my temps are probably higher when I get out of bed and go downstairs.

Do you think I should disregard today's temp because I got out of bed, or just leave it there?

i don't think just getting out of the bed is going to really change it.

Ok, thanks! I'll just keep it and I'll continue doing the OPKs which I was going to anyways. I hope my BD schedule is looking ok. I'm worried about the timing. There will be no BD tonight, and I'm hoping we will on Friday. I think I'm wearing DH out.

Make a note on FF that you did get up and go downstairs, but do

I got a faint line on cycle day 13 and 14 then nothing, according to ff I ovulated on the 17th cycle day. So for me even though they say it needs to be darker, I'm thinking of changing my negatives to positives. Should or I or should I leave them as negatives?

BBT (Basal Body Temperature) is your temperature at rest.
