FF Changing my O day

KatiInCT · #1 September 14th, 2008, 07:07 AM

When I put in my temp this morning FF changed my O Day from CD 15 to CD17. I know that I got eggwhite CM on CD15-16-17 but if I remember correctly the most was on CD15. I was able to get FF to change the date back to CD15 by changing the method from "Advanced" to "Fertility Awareness Method".

What do you all think?

I used to use the FAM setting rather than advanced. It's difficult to say because you had fertile CM right up to CD17. I think because you have had 2 temp spikes and with the CM that's why FF chose CD17.

I'm by means, no expert! But keep it in mind when you plan to test, you may be 2 days less DPO than FF is saying currently.

I agree...and I would just keep it in mind when you test! Your chart looks great so far!

When it comes to CM, quantity is not the most important factor - quality is! The last day that you observe slippery or lubricative CM is the day closest to ovulation, even if there was only a little CM compared to other days. Whether it's slippery or not is more important than the amount. If CD16 was your last day of slippery EWCM, then that's your CM Peak day.

Thank you for sharing this Shawna! I guess I just misremembered what I knew about CM. I always hear people talking about how excited they are when they find a big glob so I assumed quantity was better than quality. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!

Now if only I could have convinced DH to BD on CD 15 and/or CD16. He said he was too tired. Hopefully we got in a BD close enough.

Fingers crossed for you!

Even if O day was CD16, you still DTD CD 14! So that's great timing!

I think at this point I am just over analyzing in my dreaded 2ww. I feel like I have already talked myself out of any possibility. HAHA. I know I have a good chance, I am just stubborn and bitter that DH wasn't up for daily BD sessions for a week.
