Kit, I sure will tonight when I update....We are going to be cycle buddies lol...I'm on CD1 today also.
I would have liked my LP to be a little longer...but I know the Clomid will help lengthen my LP, next cycle..I have to call my obgyn on Monday morning to let them know, so they can get me in 4 int. consult. and get my script. But my 11DPO was alot better than my 9DPO a few months ago!!!! But I did get to be 12DPO for 3 hours LOL unfortunately that doesn't count.
This is kinda nice, my AF, I'm not in pain and doubled over or have the headaches, and not passing clots so far! The only bad thing was a few days ago I was having major mood swings so now I know it was just PMS.
I've ordered my clear blue easy fertility monitor and sticks (With Berta's Help..TY!) so I should have them both before CD5 so I can set it up and use it this cycle.
I miss those days too...I swear back then I could look at the door knob and be preggers! Anytime you need anything hop over to the November thread.... That's an invite for any of you all!
This forum is a great place to get info, advice and just keep in high spirits!

Jenn & Jo, You guys are great! I may figure this out yet with your help. God I wish it was like it used to be that I just got pregnant without even trying. UGH!!! Well, we aren't missing any chances this week; we've had all bases covered. <smile> hehe
You hit on some very great points with charting…Just remember with the OPK setting on FF, it will only pick up that +opk, Peak or Fern. With advanced or research…it puts your + and CM, CP, all into play with your temps.
I looked at your chart Shari, it looks to me that you will O tonight with your positive yesterday and your slight temp dip. FF will give you Chs but will only give them after three consecutive high temps. So if you get higher temps for three days then you will get your Chs on CD14. In other words FF backs up…you will be CD18/4DPO instead of just CD18. I hope that makes sense!
CM is a great way to check for fertility signs…. Also CP too! With CP you have to check at the same time everyday because your cervix moves threw out the day. With CM, always record your most fertile mucous that day. Also keep in mind for those that use OPKs…It is wise to test twice a day. Once in the afternoon and in the evening. Some women have a 12 Hr LH surge. It has happened to me once as well. I tested at 3:30pm and it was –tive. Tested again at 10:30pm and it was a blaring +tive. By the time 3:30PM rolled around again it was negative. So if I were only testing once a day I would have missed my surge..

Shari, Thats not crossing a line at all sweets, that's a part of our every day lives through this jouney....OK, I posted this back on our 1st thread...look at the long posts I made on page 7 of this link: Oh and read from bottom to top lol..it will make more since hehe..I should have posted it backwards lol.

Shari, your chart should now show a red line for the day you O and then give you your DPO days.
I never payed attention to the O pains until I started charting over 5 months ago and started geting to know by body and cycles better. That has helped me so much! Just b/c we had our tubes tied doesn't mean we still didn't ovulate. We just couldn't get preggers

JoHannah, I am going to cross a line and be nosy here, but how do you (personally) check your cm. I have not conquered checking it, especially after bd'ing. Am I correct to say that bd'ing affects the cm?

Shari, LOL, LOL I so do that too scramble for trem and alarm, I've even fell asleep with mine in my mouth b4. Yes, take BBT first thing in the morning....on OPK's no first morning urine....UNLESS...u'r using the fertility monitor and then that's what it calls for.
You can get a + OPK for more than 1 day, thats why I asked about u'r CD12...and by looking at u'r temps...Watery or EWCM will also flag FF to most fertile and give a green light. If you change your setting to OPK on FF then it should pick up your O. ummmm Did that make sence?

Kit, I think it was u that asked about the OP reports...if not u then to whoever LOL...I forgot to email yesterday but I will tonight and see what I can find out...Has anyone else received theirs yet that had TR in March 2008?
Shari, What u'r feeling could be O pains by what I can tell so far. I felt mine b4 my TR but this past O, I didn't notice it as much...could have been I wasn't paying to much attention to it since we knew we were sitting this cycle out.

JoHannah, I do take my temp every morning in between 6:20 and 6:40 before I do anything other than scramble for my alarm and thermometer. I did not test on 4/2 because I did not know if I was doing something wrong. Then I read somewhere that you shouldn't do OPK tests first thing in the morning. I guess I found out what I was doing wrong. That's why I tested yesterday before I ate lunch and got my (+).
