Chart Temp Help Please! Did I ovulate?!

[Lisa_84]

Hey girls,

I'm a little confused...I'm hoping some expert chart readers can help me out pretty please!

This is my first month charting and temping. I've also kept track of my CM. I've been using OPKs too, but it's been a challenge getting a super dark positive...you can see the progression on this thread: https://www.babyandbump.com/ovulations-tests/618236-first-time-using-opks-keeping-daily-log.html

I had a lot of EWCM from CD17 to CD20. We a LOT around the right time, but I'd still love to pinpoint the exact O day just to know.

My concern is looking at my chart, had my temp risen high enough to show that I ovulated on CD20? Or does it have to shoot up way above the coverline to "count" as O?

Here's my chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/352eb7

I'm having trouble figuring out where my coverline should be drawn...I'm hoping FF will give me crosshairs tomorrow.

Any advice?

Your temperature might be "stepping" (the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility describes stepping) and moving up from the low to ovulation. Right now I wouldn't call anything I've seen ovulation because nothing covers the past six days of temps (the FAM method of determining ovulation).

I do wonder, if you told it to disregard CD 17, if it would give you ovulation on CD 21. I'd try it.

Thanks for the advice EngineerGirl, I really appreciate it!

That makes sense - I've tried telling it to disregard CD17 but it still doesn't give crosshairs. Also, I tried just for fun adding in a higher temp tomorrow, but still no crosshairs...
