CH's are when you have Ovulated and it makes like a t on your chart! does that make sense?

[dibbers]

[Mrs.Paradise]

You are not alone, at first I didn't understand it either.

[Belita]

Me neither and they don't show up for three days after you O. That one confused me, too.

Don't feel like that - we've all been there! That's what we are here for...always remember, there are NEVER any stupid questions, so please feel free to come to us for anything we can do to help you make sense of all this! It was so confusing for me when I first started (and the acronyms alone made my head spin! DH, BD, HPT, BFN, BFP, AF, SA, BB, OPK, the list goes on and on...!) This is a great board, great ladies, and a great resource for you!

Thanks Karin,

how come some lines are dotted and on other charts they are just straight lines? xx

[kbpeanut]

Lines are dotted or dashed if FF thinks there is some uncertainty, but is making a "best guess". If the lines are solid, FF thinks they are pretty sure about it

[dibbers]

Fab thanks for clearing that up

I didn't understand crosshairs until I saw them on my chart.

Everyone has questions that they think are stupid (but aren't), not just when they first start, but especially then. Ask away!
