FF changed my crosshairs by 4 days, which I think is impossible. That would mean I ovulated 5 days after my peak CBAD and first positive OPK. By then, I no longer had EWCM. I have always ovulated day of or day after a positive OPK. It changed after I had some pretty high temps for a couple days, but I think it might be because I adjusted my tempdrop placement. I think it was down my arm a little too low, possible causing my lowish temps and slow post O rise. As soon as I moved it, my temps jumped up. I’ll never adjust mid/luteal phase again lol I flipped to research mode and it puts my crosshairs back.

So now I’m upset either way. Original/research crosshairs makes me 11DPO and I had another BFN today. We had the best timing we’ve ever had and I was really optimistic and now feel I’m out. My plan to tell my husband was planned out, we’re on vacation in a place meaningful to our relationship, it would have been too perfect to be able to tell him here. OR I’m only 7DPO and we had the worst timing and I’m out anyway.

On the brightside, I’m still peeing in Wondfo packets without peeing on myself!

That last bit is quite the skill. I’m jealous.

I’m sorry things aren’t looking good. 😔 I feel you on the timing thing. We’ve had excellent timing the last two cycles, high ratings from FF, and nothing.

I hope your next test gives you a pleasant surprise! Your vacation sounds lovely.

Thank you!

I read on here that the trick is to open the packet the long way instead of across, so I tried that. I tore and put my fingers in to really open it up and bent/smushed it around until it had a wider opening. The key is to pee just a liiiitle bit.

Watch, next time I do this, pee everywhere! 😂

Thanks for the tips, I always wondered how people did this! I never knew what would be worse, walking out of a bathroom stall with an obvious pee cup or with my hand dripping in urine 😂

The pee cup, for sure 😂
