I have also been charting my BBT this month too and CM etc.
My temp went up this morning from the lowest of 36.06 to 36.40 degrees Celcius, and I noted EWCM, so the whole pattern looks very promising. Now I must not get my hopes up too high, but I am very happy that my body seems normal.
My temperature could have been a little higher in fact as I had to breath a bit through my mouth due to a head cold.

Well everything worked out nicely last night and we had a lovely romantic evening.
CD11 today and my monitor is still showing PEAK. This is exactly what it says it should do around the time I ovulate. It should peak on the day of ovulation and the following day as this is also a very fertile time.
At last, I have my first official 2WW and I believe I ovulated yesterday CD10.
Another cross reference has been my BBT this morning.
It went from
36.24 on CD9
36.40 on CD10
37.33 on CD11
which indicates that I ovulated yesterday on CD10.
A slight complication could be that I have a heavy head cold (so I'm not ignoring that factor).

Thanks Tiffers, it's so good to be enthusiastic about the 2WW and a relief to know that I have ovulated. If nothing else, this very fact has consoled me no end. The little cheapie OPK sticks just haven't registered a positive for me for the last 2 months, but now that I've used the monitor, I know it's happened. It's great.
So, today is CD12 and my CFM is showing a HIGH reading. The book that came with it says that the monitor will show a PEAK on the day of the LH surge as well as the following day. Then it will show a HIGH for 1 day following Peak fertility as there is a chance that the egg can still be fertilised after this time. That's exactly what my monitor has done.
CD6 LOW CD7 LOW CD8 LOW CD9 HIGH CD10 PEAK CD11 PEAK CD12 HIGH

Woohoo...I am waiting for my monitor. This is making me excited!
I know how you feel. It's not guaranteed to get you PG, but it certainly makes charting and monitoring more fun and hopeful. I used that many OPK sticks in my first month morning, noon and night and was disappointed each time. This month has been an absolute pleasure and it has been so reassuring to me to know that I have ovulated. I feel really hopeful that we have got the timing right but at the same time I am realistic that it certainly isn't guaranteed.
