Confused! In need of a chart expert!

[Sus09]

I am really confused...

I was convinced I was having an annovulatory cycle... My chart showed what I thougth low temperatures and FF has drawn the ovulation lines this morning!

In my past cycles (When I charted in the past) and last month´s cycles, The days beofre Ov my temps were below 36.5 Degrees (They varied from 36 to 36.4). Once I ovulated my temperatures went above the 36.5 Line (usally between 36.6 and 36.8). My charts then showed a clear temp rise and ovulation.

Now this months my temps have stayed below the 3.5 temp. Today FF has identified ovulation which has me a bit confused and it is not my normal pattern and I don´t see a clear temp rise Can anyone give me their opinion?

I know it can change in the next few days, depending on my temps, they might go down again...

BTW I did do my OPK testing this month, about twice a day this time, I have not reconded the results on FF, but again they were negative. As I said in other posts either they are negative or I just miss my surge as I am so new to using them.

I am still convinced I have not ovulated... but FF is confusing me

I think if your temps keep going up and you had EWCM it is possible you o'd on CD 15 as FF says. i think your post were about IC opks and I use them and although i generally get positive ones some months I haven't on the IC opk but the clearblue digital is positive so I think there are not as reliable then other ones. I use IC opks and when they start to look positive and i have EWCM i also do clearblue digital that way i generally only use 1 ior 2 clearblue in the month so it's cheaper.
have you around CD 15 to cover all bases!
Good luck

It is not unusual for temp to fluctuate from cycle to cycle...if you look at my charts you can see that they aren't close in temps, but I had a confirmed ovulation for both cycles.

I will tell you what I tell everyone else, FF is a touchy effer, and if she is willing to give you xhairs, take the win and move on, LOL.

The temp dip/rise does not have to be significant, this is why some women have to use a BBT that reads to the 1/100 of a degree and some can use a BBT that reads to the 1/10 of a degree.

I say you ovualted!

Thanks Dmom! Nice one! I should listen to you and if FF gives me the xhairs then take it as good news!

Will see what the next days bring with my temperatures. I did have a look at your charts as you suggested. I see what you mean now, by being different. I should have kept the chatts I did years ago and that the doctor carefully explained to me, just to compare.

If I have Ov'd then I am even more angry with my OH, for not doing his deed on my most fertile day and going out with the boys for some beers instead!

That would be the second cycle we miss by him either watching football or going for beers! I will have a word with him

Sukisam: Thanks for your advice on OPKs, I have heard of the clearblue digital ones... I think next cycle I will do as you suggested, do the ICs and then 1 or 2 Clearblue´s as well.
