I would suggest getting a lube without spermicide of course for sexy time

Woohoo!! And preseed will be your best friend. Feeling really optimistic for you this cycle.  |

Preseed Preseed LMC! Fingers crossed! CD11 for me. Thinking I'm entering my fertile window, but DH is out of town for the next 2 days which may make timing less-than-ideal, but we'll see... My chart has lots of open circles (from early risings) and dotted lines (from skipping temping while I was backpacking in the woods the past 2 weekends).  |

YAYYY!!! I have preseed and ran out of the damn applicators. Maybe I can find a plastic syringe-type thing at the store tonight to use. There is never enough applicators when it comes to preseed. The company should double the amount that comes with a tube. |

FF gave me cross-hairs this morning for predicted O on CD11, but I beg to differ. My temp chart isn't very reliable because I skipped 2 days last weekend and my CD11 temp was an early-rise open circle, and I had a LOT of fertile CM after that date, as well as serious mid-cycle cramping last night. Also CD11 would be freakishly early for me. We'll see what the temps do over the next few days. I'm predicting that my true O was yesterday, CD13, which would be the same as last cycle. Managed to squeeze in some BD late last night and gonna try again today too just in case. I'm not too happy with our timing but oh well. Also for those with more CM-tracking experience than me... should I expect CM to dry up immediately following O? Or do you sometimes see fertile fluid after that date? It looks like my fertile CM is gone today. Any chart-interpreting insights welcome! LMC That's a pretty-looking chart! Keep it up!  |

My cover line last cycle was 97.6, so I think my temps are still relatively low. Pre- and post-O BBTs should be relatively consistent cycle-to-cycle, no? Probably still too little data to interpret much, but speculation is fun anyway.

Thanks for the expertise ladies! I'll take O on CD11, as I think timing was better for 11 than it was for 13. I'm still curious to see where my temps go though...
I'll be better about temping next cycle. I just felt like a temperature taken in a tent in the middle of the wilderness would have been unreliable. I also didn't feel like packing my thermometer in my pack. If any of you are backpackers you understand... every ounce counts!

gingerlady - my guess would be cd 12 is when you O'd. I am surprised they gave you solid lines. And my temperature was never too consistent cycle to cycle BUT I work a variety of shifts and travel which did switch up mt temps cycle to cycle.

Thanks It's confusing. We did our best with timing this cycle, but DH was away on CD11 through late on CD13 which definitely looked and felt like my most fertile days. Hopefully some little swimmers were still in there from our weekend escapades. But oh well, it is what it is. If I have another short cycle it would be good because I'd like to get my O day away from that Mon-Wed window. |

Hang in there LMC! By the way, everyone who predicted CD12 for me was probably right - FF revised my cross-hairs. I'm still less-than-thrilled with our timing. Saw a true temp spike this morning though, which I like.  |

I cannot tell for sure until I see your temp tomorrow, but it might be an ovation dip.

LMC fingers crossed! I will say your temps are waaaaay more consistent than mine. A dip like you have wouldn't even make me flinch. Here's my wonky chart.
