It's the little things that get me so excited - UPDATE - maybe I was wrong
This was my first month temping and I think I got it! I'm so excited that it worked.
I figured I would temp this month in conjunction with the CBEFM AND the digital OPK. Most of you know that DH and I started some testing and I figured that I should also make sure that I definitely am ovulating. Well I think I just did yesterday 
I'm going to try to post my chart, so any chart experts out there, if you could please take a look and let me know what you think.
PLEASE NOTE - there are a few high day temps (CD 2, 7,8 and 11) there with the empty blue circle. Those are the days that I woke up over an hour later than the usual and temped so that is why they are so much higher. All the others were taken at 5:30/6am. So I'm looking at it as though if you were to take out those bad timing tests, then this mornings would definitely be my rise in temp right??? I also had a smiley and a peak yesterday too 
Thanks for looking:
Update 7/18/10 - well now I am confused because it looks like my temp dipped already. I woke at the same time as the other temperatures so I don't get it

Re: It's the little things that get me so excited

Do you think that the following 2 days fluctuation is from the a/c or something? Fertility Friend has not confirmed an O date for me but they are saying based on the peak on my monitor that it may have been CD 14 but I was thinking it was more CD 13. This is so confusing to me and nautrally now I am getting all worried

What makes you say CD 15? Why wouldn't it be CD 13, bc the spike came on CD 14? Sorry for all the questions but I am new to temping. My monitor gave me a peak on CD 13 and 14 and I only got a smiley on CD 13. I do keep track of BD too, its just not showing here for some reason.
TIA

Re: It's the little things that get me so excited - UPDATE - maybe I was wrong
I think I agree with CD 15 too actually, but you probably won't see cross-hairs on FF confirming O until Wednesday or Thursday.
Your temps on CD 15 were pretty low to be post-O temps based on the other days.
A + OPK tells you that you should O within 12 - 48 hours.
If your temps stayed the way they've been -- very rocky with lots of ups and downs -- it *almost* looks like an anovulatory chart.
I honestly think you need more data before confirming anything ... I know you're excited and anxious to see charting "work" but it takes a few days to actually see a pattern. There just isn't enough data to know anything yet.

Thank you for your honesty.
I just want to point out that much of the ups and downs is due to temping at inconsistent times. Although, the days surrounding O were all at the same time (5:30 am). On the bright side, this might explain why I haven;t been having any luck. DH and I usually only BD up to and through the 2 peak days and by then we are just D O N E  . Maybe we were giving up too early I have to say, I'm a little nervous about the thought of having annovulatory cycles though. Are there any other symptoms of this I should be aware of?

I didn't mean to worry you!
I know FlowerWife has had anovulatory cycles, you can try FMing her. She's awesome and I am sure she'll be happy to tell you her symptoms. She rocks!

Hmm...I don't think you have ovulated yet. Even when I wake up a few hours later than usual, my temp. is usually only .3 or .4 degrees higher than usual. I agree with the above poster...you might have an anovulatory cycle.
I know that when I ovulate, I get cramps and a backache. I also have no temperature drops afterwards, until my period. They are all within a few degrees of each other after O...until a few days before my period. I know it's really hard, but try temping at the same time everyday. Otherwise, you really can't get accurate readings.

Thank you for your input as well. I did get all my regular O symptoms this month - i.e., cramping, lower back pains, fertile CM, smiley on OPK, and 2 peak readings. I wonder if this is what my problem has been all along.

you can check out my crazy anov charts here . do note that they are due to PCOS. all but one of my ovulatory cycles were medicated in some way.
BTW, you have FM

You can still dip as long as you don't dip below your coverline which it looks like you didn't.

Re: It's the little things that get me so excited - UPDATE - maybe I was wrong
this looks very promising today! i still think you may have Oed on CD13, you may just have a fallback rise, where it dips a bit before it goes up. you still need a few days to confirm, but it def looks promising!

Thanks for checking up on me
Its really cool how this chart updates automatically when I update on FF. I'm glad I made the switch from MMC.
And thank you for the fm. I am going to write back tonight bc it is a little hard on my blackberry.
