Hard to say until after a few more days goes by to confirm a thermal shift (or lack thereof) and to confirm the CM dry up (or lack thereof). Definitely BD'd on a potentially fertile day though, so hang in there see what happens!

It's hard to tell. I'm new at charts (I'm sure you know this with all my questions lol) but if I looked at it I would think you Oed CD16 because of the spotting. Either way, the day after O, it's a pretty slim chance, right??[/b]

NOPE. You are potentially fertile for 3 full days after charting confirms O. #1, because charting doesn't tell us the exact day, it just gives us an estimate. That estimate can be off by a day or two, so just because FF says O doesn't mean O actually happened that day...could have been a day or two after FF said. #2 because the ova lives up to 24 hours after ovulation. #3 because if a second ovulation is going to occur, it will happen within 24 hours of the first one...and then you account for a lifespan of 24 hours.
When TTA, waiting until there are 3 high temps
and 3 full days of CM drying up is required to make sure that the ova is dead and conception is no longer possible. Waiting 3 days accounts for the margin of error that charting gives, it accounts for the lifespan of the egg, and it accounts for the possibility of double ovulation.
Good to know in case we're ever TTA. Thanks.
