It says I ovulated. I am not sure though - I was convinced I was not ovulating as I don't really have much change in CM. Could someone please have a look and let me know what they think?

Thanks,

Claire
 
The link didn't bring up your chart hun...try again and I can look at it for you.
 
Click the "share" button underneath your chart, it'll give you the code so you can put a link on here.

Hope this works
 
I have the FF app and I am pretty sure it is not correct. It predicted that I would ovulate on either CD9, CD10 or CD11 (cycles just got back on track after BCP) but I did not get a positive OPK until CD11. I think I O'd on either CD 11, 12 or 13.
 
I didn't look at your chart, but I know I cannot base my ovulation on my CM. My CM doesn't change much during the month, unfortunately, so I rely on temping and occasionally opks to help me know when I'm ovulating. I wouldn't stress if your CM doesn't change much, it doesn't change for everybody.
 
RomaTomato, I wouldn't take FF too seriously in terms of predicting ov. That's just based on statistics from your past cycles but ov day can change all the time. FF should be much more reliable when confirming ov, especially if you're temping.

Claire, I think FF could be right, but only continuing to temp will tell you for sure. If your temp drops below the "coverline" then it may remove your crosshairs, but if it stays up then I do see the rise pattern starting CD19 that FF is picking up on.
 
I am supposedly 8dpo according to FF and I really don't know what to believe. At first I was certain it was wrong since my temps are so low, but today I had a high temp so I don't know what to think.
The two main problems are that
1) I have never O'd so early in a cycle (though I did begin Fertilitea this past cycle) and,
2) I don't have my normal post O symptoms.

Do you have post-O symptoms you're looking for? I'm with you with the FF trouble :s

Hi floating baby, from looking at your current month chart and last months you may not have ovulated.

The problem is FF can only go on the data it currently has, so when you put more data in over the next week or so if your temps keep rising it will move your ovulation back and then it will probably be later than it says now.

Yeah, that's what I'm figuring too, thanks!

:juggle:
 
Well temp dropped below the coverline for the past few days. It took my crosshairs away :(

I hear you. I had almost finished my 2ww from O on CD11, even took a test on 12dpo (BFN obvs), then it moved my O date to CD21.

Fertilityfreind can be SO frustrating!!!!

Tell me about it! I got so excited that I actually ovulated. I even tried taking all my CM data past ovulation out just to see - Nope, still doesn't like my temps.

Thats so frustrating that you had almost finished your 2ww!!

Could I see your chart?
 
I know, I always fiddle with CM to see what it likes and doesn't :p

Here's my chart

At least you have a coverline and ovulation date! mine is just all over the shop. Stupid FF gave me false hope! :D lol
 
My Fertility Friend BBT says O'd on cycle day 10, my opk said day 10, but clearblue fertility monitor didn't peak until cycle day 12? Which should I follow? Thoughts?
Thanks,
We are TTC after vasectomy reversal :flower:

Generally, your temp is the most accurate indicator. And if OPKs say 10th also, I'd be inclined to follow those. That said, I don't know much about the CBFM.
 
I recently started charting and it is so hard to make sense of it all. It is crazy when you actually start paying attention to everything. Can definitely be overwhelming. I'm not really sure how accurate FF is, I am going to see if I can share my chart and hopefully someone can make sense of it and possibly let me know if it seems accurate.
I have been taking BBT every morning at 7:30am and using Clearblue advanced opk (not the one with the smiley with the circles. This only has an empty circle or a smiley) I know it says that once you get the smiley face that you shouldn't test anymore but I've done it at multiple time on different days just out of curiosity.
Thank you to anyone who gives any info on my chart!!
I hope this link works bc apparently I haven't posted enough lol
