Need help with chart AGAIN (insert "bang head against wall" emoticon here.) UPDATED 8/9

UGHHH! I went to the doctor on Tuesday because I had what appeared to be a sinus infection and was confirmed as such. When I took my temperature that morning it was much higher than my temps ever are. Because all signs were pointing to infection, I discarded that temp. Now I am not sure if I should discard the temp. It just doesn't seem to "belong" in the chart. With the high temp it is actually showing I O'd, but it just doesn't seem right to me.

I have yet to get a positive OPK (and that could be because I messed up and was using them in the morning. My first evening OPK was done on Wednesday night.)

I am on antibiotic, which I am not sure could impact the OPK results.

I am even having a hard time with believing the accuracy of my CM.

Last month I got my + on CD17 and O'd somewhere between CD17 and CD20.

Below you will find my charts. The first one is with the high temp included. The second is with it discarded.


My goal was to use Deanna's plan, and have been waiting for the positive OPK, but now I am not even sure where I am at. I haven't really felt like I O'd yet, but I have been feeling so sick with my sinuses that who knows.

Any thoughts or advise are always appreciated. TIA






UPDATE 8/9/08: I got my positive OPK today

Are you a VIP member on FF? I'd suggest asking the guides on the VIP board.

I think maybe discard it...

For me, when I used FMU for OPKs, I still got a +OPK, but I only got 1 and think I probably caught the tail end of the surge.

ETA: I don't think you've O'd yet... especially since last month you didn't get a +OPK until CD 17 - I doubt you would be Oing on CD 13 this month. How long are your cycles usually?

i definitely don't think you o'd yet so disregard that high temp. as far as antibiotics affecting OPK, i'm not sure. maybe check out the manufacturer's website and see if there is any info there.

this may be TMI and i know everyone is different, but i notice your CM went from dry to EWCM. while it's totally possible to have that many days of EWCM, i wonder if you are confusing the types of CM or confusing leftover from BD as EWCM. usually i go from dry to sticky for a few days and then get EWCM. just a thought, in case that is confusing the situation more. with that said, i would keep up with your BD plan and hopefully you will get your +OPK soon.

good luck!
