Okay, I'm going to be radical and start this week's check-in thread instead of LMC. I don't have much to say, except that it's Monday and I wish it weren't. I'm playing the waiting game, trying not to get my hopes up too much. And my birthday is this week! Here's my chart:

LMC yay for peak readings and temp dips! Which OPK are you using? I'm thinking of adding those next cycle as another potential marker, because my temps are wonky. I still don't really trust my O date this cycle, though I suppose it's in the right ballpark. And thanks for the bday wishes

I still don't really trust my O date this cycle, though I suppose it's in the right ballpark. And thanks for the bday wishes I use the clearblue fertility monitor. It's pricey, but it gives you both high and peak fertility days, so I really like it. Interesting! Yes, it is pricey though - I just looked it up. I may try some LH-detecting strips first. I'm just data hungry since I started charting. So far my cycles have been pretty predictable though. In a way I had hoped that my O dates would have been somewhat off of mid-cycle and that would explain why I hadn't conceived yet. But no, I think our timing has probably been good all along.

Happy birthday week, gingerlady! You and LMC have good timing this month. You two might also be the coldest people I know. 97.2* covers?? Yes, I am cold. I've always known that. 99 is a significant fever for me. And thanks to you too for the bday wishes

LMC I bet FF will give you CH tomorrow if your temp goes up even a bit. Was your monitor negative yesterday? If so I'd say your O was most likely CD15 or CD16. Here's my chart. 8DPO today. Temps still high. I woke up with some mild cramping this morning which probably means nothing. I'm trying not to symptom spot On an unrelated note I roasted and peeled 14 sweet peppers last night because we had a massive surplus from the CSA. Now I have TONS of stuff stuck under my fingernails and it won't come out no matter how hard I scrub! It's really annoying me!!! Maybe I'll have to go get a manicure.

That makes sense LMC. Either way, your timing looks good! Fingers crossed for CH tomorrow! Ugh, I had terrible mid-cycle cramping this month too, which is really strange for me, so I feel your pain (literally). It made trying to do the BD really quite miserable.

ktmac hahaha! Well I haven't decided yet. I'm not feeling any urges quite yet. Friday is my birthday (38th gaghhaaaaaafu&C!) and DPO10, so maybe then. Or maybe not. I have a bit of an avoidant personality and I'm trying to delay disappointment I guess because I'm not feeling confident at all. However, I also have an enormous number of cheapo tests just sitting around waiting to be used. Also, I can sometimes be influenced by peer pressure

LMC I think FF is waiting for tomorrow's results so that it can give you crosshairs for the 16 since it needs three days of temps. But that is my guess. Either way have sex tonight just to make sure there is enough spermies in there. gingerlady - Get a manicure if it's in your budget. Manicures are great. I would pee on all of the sticks on your birthday. And make sure its the first pee of the day.

I could get a manicure, but I'm working from home today and I'm feeling too lazy to go out.

Or maybe we should call it "pee'er pressure"

LMC - My cover was usually .1-.2 above what my O temp was so yours doesn't seem too high to me.

It should be based on about the 6 before it which I would assume would be 97.25, but maybe FF is having issues with math today.

Hmm, I think your cover line looks good. You want the majority of your pre-O temps to be below it. If you dropped it to 97.3 then those CD10-13 temps would be at the cover, which would seem weird. Here's me today:

Well, it was a BFN this morning ladies... BUT, on the upside I can have birthday drinks tonight and not feel guilty!

Well, it was a BFN this morning ladies... BUT, on the upside I can have birthday drinks tonight and not feel guilty! Ah - sorry. On the up side it's still early and your temp is still up. You're not out yet! My earliest BFP was 12dpo, and it was super faint. I'm still crossing stuff for you! Thanks! It's true it's still a bit early. I wasn't that happy with our timing this cycle anyway, so I can't say I'm surprised. I don't read too much into the high temp because last cycle my temps didn't drop at all until the first day of AF. I'll probably test again on Monday (DPO13) unless AF has already arrived because I have a dentist appointment and I think they need to do an X-ray and I want to make sure I'm safe. In the meantime, I'm going to Cape Cod for the weekend so I'm going to relax and not think about TTC!
