Well I just got a sneak attack period, a whole three days early. what is up with that? I am going to start OPKs this month. It gets kind of sad when you have invested half a year in something and have seen no results.

I am so very sorry!
That was not nice at all!!
Do you temp at all? I always have temped because I have wacky cycles, and it always gives me comfort that when i chart I can know when I O, and if my temps start to have a drop I know af is coming and there is no surprises.
Hope that next cycle the witch stays away from you!! The Big Brat that she is.

I have a thermometer coming I just hope I can get in the habit of temping. What kind of changes am I looking for while temping? I already use Fertility friend for my cycle....so I know how to use that already.

when you are temping you have two or sometimes three areas of where your temps shift.
For instance(hypothetical) because each womens range of temps can be different. but lets say before you o, your temps may go up and down between 97.0 to 97.5 Then your temp will go up, and you have ranges between 97.7 and 98.5 That would be your luteral phase. Usually after three days of high temps FF will give you your cover line so you know when you o'd. If your temps stay up, you could be pg. If your temps start to drop down it usually is an indecation that af is on her way. Also sometimes your chart look what they call triphasic, which is after you O sometimes your temps will jump up another level for a third set of temps. SOMETIMES but not ALL TIMES this can be a sign that you are pg. If you look at my chart you can see what a chart can look like. Also my chart MAYBE looking triphasic because it looks like I might have jumped up and it is staying up a level. But I am not convinced and not getting too excited over it because I took a test yesterday with a FRER and it was a BFN.
Some things you should remember about temping is that you should temp about the same time every morning. around a half an hour in difference is ok. For me I temp between 6:30-7:00 each morning. Also temp before you get up and move around. So if you wake up around temp time temp before you go to the bathroom ext.
If you have any questions there are a lot of us who temp and can probably help you.
Good Luck!

I have a pretty set sleep cycle so I it would be easy to have the same time. I am just worried about remembering.

Thank you for explaining that, you did a really good job. I actually understood that better than the "article" my friend gave me.

Hug!
