Can anyone help me with my fertility friend chart? Confused!!

dotted line or solid?

and yeah, it might mean that you are "out" for this cycle, if you didn't BD after CD21. most people will recommend you BD for a couple days in a row after a positive OPK for best chances

but at least now you know you 1. ARE ovulating and 2. WHEN you ovulated, so you can start to track if it's the same time every month. or, for example, you got your temp spike on the 3rd day after a positive OPK, so if that happens again, then you can start to REALLY time your BD well for ovulation. some people get spikes the next day, in which case they need to BD before getting a positive OPK to up their chances. but if you regularly have a 3 day "warning" you are able to get at least a couple good days in.

temping is frustrating in that sense...it takes a couple months to get enough data to make it actually useful.

and yeah, i know right? all these people who hardly but look at a guy and get pregnant. sigh...

I changed it back to advanced as it says that's the recommended setting but I think it was dotted! We definitely BD'd for atleast 4 days after the OPK and I just looked at when I got the positive OPK and we should have covered the grounds even if I did O on cd25 but hey there's only a 20 something percent chance anyway so it's either happened or it hasn't do you have any early symptoms or are you not much of a SS? yeah that's right my biggest worry is that for some reason I don't ovulate which is crazy as I have been pregnant before but you're right even if it doesn't happen this cycle ATLEAST my mind is rested for the next one

my temp very reliably drops below the coverline on the morning of the day AF arrives so, before my miscarriage, i didn't put much meaning into anything before 12dpo. my pre-mc LP was 11-13, so nothing meant anything unless my temp dropped or stayed high between 12-14dpo. post-mc cycle LPs were 13 then 17, so not sure what will happen this time around!

also have to reschedule my colposcopy because we suddenly need to go back to the states to see and be with my husband's family. we are leaving late tuesday night, so i can't make the wednesday appt. (oh darn!)

FF says to test on the 1st. we get back on the 2nd. in october, when i got pregnant the first time, we got back from vacation in the states for 2 weeks and i was 14dpo and tested before bed that night and got a pretty decent positive. maybe it's fate for it to happen again?? also feel like we would have to incorporate my husband's grandma's name into the baby's name if that happened!

(not sure i will be able to NOT take hpts with me!)

and yes, Advanced is what they recommend, but when your other fertility signs don't line up, or are confusing, sometimes just going on temps is easier to detect O. likewise, some people only detect with OPKs, if they don't temp or temps are unreliable. just depends on what your body consistently tells you (ie my CM is totally unreliable.)

Wow that really would be fate if it were to happen this month then! That would be super sweet and I hope it does! OH's grandmothers name would definitely need to be a part of Bubs name if so! completely have to agree


I've been really well behaved this month LOL. Normally I order a whole bunch of different brand tests WAY too early and start testing at 7/8dpo, and then each day it's the same old thing with a bfn.. So this month it's been so hard not to go ahead and order some early and today I gave in and ordered a twin pack of both CBD and FRER, but since I don't know exactly how many dpo I am, I don't know when to test!

Same here, my CM is not a good indicator of O at all, I barely have any EWCM so I end up using conceive plus to help them along the way
