Trying to get the hang of charting . . . (bored analyzers welcome!) (fixed)
I think I am getting the hang of looking at the chart now, especially through the tutorials from FF.
I know a chart by itself means nothing, but at this point, I am not sure how things look.
I am just staring at it and thinking "now what?"

hmm, although it's saying you o'd on CD17 i'm thinking you may have actually o'd on CD19 or CD20.

your chart looks GREAT
looks like you O'd on the 18th and your temps are not only still up, but going higher
   
eta: also looks like you had an implantation dip around 4 dpo - thats when i had mine and got a BFP

Like a PP said, I also would think maybe you O'd on the 19th or 20th since you don't see a real temperature shift until then.
I don't agree with the implantation dip so much though since your temps did not drop very low at all in comparison to your overall chart.
Also, I think you have the dotted line because of your first three temps. Were those accurate?

The first three temps on my chart were all taken at the exact same time each day, with the Basal thermometer. I had no problems with the thermometer at the beginning.

Okay, just checking because I think those are throwing off your ovulation date for some reason.
Do you have a VIP membership on FF? If so, you can post on the VIP question board and a fertility guide will be able to help you analyze your chart better than we probably can!

The ovulation detector is saying I have the dotted line because my CM is still fertile after ovulation.

Oh, I see that now.
Did you use OPKs the day before or after the + that you have on there?

No, I didn't This is our first month, so I am new to this and didn't think to check again until on the 14th when I first asked for help with my chart. On the 14th, I tested negative.
ETA: I don't have a VIP membership to FF.

I think it's more likely you ovulated on CD19 or CD20 - I think the dip in temps is more likely a fall back rise than implantation. While your temps are up from CD18, they're not actually higher than the previous six until CD21 suggesting ovulation on CD20.
You can play around with the ovulation detector and see what other possible O dates it might give you - there are different settings.
As for what you should be looking at from now...well there's not much your chart and/or your body can tell you about pregnancy unfortunately. High temps are obviously the best sign - and it they stay high for 18 days then you're most likely pregnant, although I can't imagine anyone waiting that long before testing! Some people report implantation dips, or trisphasic temps - both are good signs, but don't necessarily mean pregnancy. Women who are not pregnant sometimes have triphasic temps or random dips.

Re: Trying to get the hang of charting . . . (bored analyzers welcome!) (fixed)
you got a + on the 17th which indicated "O" within 24-36 hours so i would say the 18; posibly 19 but not 20th
