It doesn't look to me as though you've ovulated yet, but it's hard to tell, as you've got a lot of open circles on there. Do you know when you usually O? Lots of your BBT's are super low; are they always? Good luck! This charting thing can be frustrating!
Thanks for replying! I'm very new to charting. What do the open circles mean compared to the solid circles?
This is my first cycle charting and you can see that I started mid-cycle. So I'm just assuming that those are my normal temperatures. I tend to read too much into my chart so that's why I'm curious to see what people think.

Open circles indicate that your temperature may be unreliable for some reason... you took it at a different time than usual, you slept poorly, you had a drink the night before, etc. Do you record your temp on the app right when you take it, or do you go back and put it in later? Sometimes people don't realize that it puts the time of your temp in as whatever time you enter it into the app, unless you manually change it.
It takes a few cycles to get the hang of it and for it to really tell you anything meaningful, so try not to stress too much or look too far into it! Especially since you started mid-cycle. After a bit, you'll start to see a pattern!

I take my temperature right when I wake up and input it in the app right then, however I've been waking up earlier than my alarm due to being hot so that's probably why. Thanks a lot for your kind words. I'll try my best not to stress over it.

I think your chart just isnt accurate because you havent been temping at the same time everyday...which is why there is a bunch of open circles and probably why your temps are all over the place. To help you out with waking up earlier or later use this website

I have it bookmarked on my phone and if I wake up earlier or later I use it. Then when imputting it in FF I change the time to my normal time.
