So, I guess I have to wait until Sunday. If AF doesn't arrive, I might test again Sunday or Monday. Temp is still high and CM is dry (I always get ewcm 2 or 3 days prior to AF) but with a neg hpt is doesn't really matter...

Hey, Laura! Welcome to the "Web Womb"!! You have the dubious honor of being the first to post (other than Catherine, the Great) since the big "crash" of '99!!
As for your temp's, it looks to me like you O'd around CD-17 or 18. Have you been charting BBT/CP/CM according to TCOYF (considered "the Bible of Fertility" around here)?? Just wondering ... Sounds like you are observant of CM, and as such, USUALLY your most fertile day (ie, O-day) is the last day of EWCM.
The questions I have are: Are you checking your temp's every day, at the same time?? Do you move around AT ALL before taking your temp?? Are you taking your temp. orally or vaginally?? Did you drink alcohol or use an electric blanket around CD-18?? Are you using a glass or digital themometer (and are you using the same one consistently throughout your cycle)?? Were you traveling at all around CD-17/18??
It looks like the 98.0 temp. on CD-14 was erroneous -- I would tend to want to use the "Rule of Thumb" there and discard it.
What really throws me is your pink/brown-tinged CM! USUALLY that is a very fertile sign ... WHEN it's combined with really fertile CM (like EWCM).
Most importantly, how long have you been charting?? If you've been doing this for a while, you should "know" your cycle pretty well, and know about what day you are likely to O. Does your current cycle reflect previous ones as far as temp's, CM, and CP?? (For example, I am a typically a late O-er -- -- I don't O until CD 17-20, usually.)
THAT all being said, it sounds like you took advantage of your EWCM ... Let us know further temp's -- that may help in deciphering your cycle. But, as long as you see that lovely EWCM, I say, GO FOR IT, GIRL!!!! =P
That's my 2 cents ...
