    Thanks 20 days and all is well. I think it is easy when you wake up one morning and realise that you are just over it...13 years is a looong time!

    Yeah, not feeling the excitement so much today

    For quitting these are the hardest times -3 weeks, 3 months, 3 years!! You're almost over the first hurdle!

    FF is a crock! It never gave me a definite O day till either AF shows up or I told it I got a BFP. Caused more frustration that anything in my case

    That is all

    ps 20 days is great too!

    ooh... you're TTCing! And congrats on quitting smoking!

    You should try charting a 50+ day cycle LOL... THAT's frustrating! I did believe my chart tho, as frustrating as it was having a positive opk and nothing happening.. coz I have charted before and I know I see a definite shift in my temps when I've O'd. Are you charting you CM as well? FF relies a lot on CM for fertility times and relies mostly on the temp shift for confirming O. Taking your temp at different times or not getting enough sleep beforehand can change your temps and make them erratic and hard to analyse. I thought I was having this problem (with two kids that give me broken sleep from about 3am onwards!) but I can still see a definite shift in my temps, so it hasn't been too much of a prob for me.

    My advice for swaying for a boy (worked for us ) is to use OPK's because this tells you you're about to ovulate and go for it right up until your temp rise.. if you wait for the temp rise.. you can miss the egg altogether.

    Good luck with your 2WW.. when are you testing again? I'm testing on Monday

    That's how my little Oops is here. According to FF, i was past the fertile stage. So, thought i was safe. Then FF changed my O date. Oops.

    Oh no Kate! LOL. Altho I think FF does say not to use charting as contraception

    I'm sure you'll enjoy your surprise bundle
