Hello Ladies,

I started charting this month and I'm trying to be consistant...LOL

Here's the deal I normally have a 25-27 day cycle. Today is CD27 12DPO (per FF) My first question is why does FF say that I should expect AF on CD30? And to test on the 28th of May?

My next question is if I don't get my BFP this cycle and I start charting next cycle do I have to chart at the same time as last month....This cycle I try to chart a 7:30am and if I have to chart next cycle I would like to temp at 6:30am...Is this a problem?

I know what you're thinking "Why don't I just test anyway?" Well...I went through the phase of POAS 2yrs ago and I hate seeing BFN...so I want to wait till I have more symptoms B4 I test....I'm chicken! LOL

Any help would be great...Thanks Ladies!

You can definitely change you time next cycle, you just don't want to change it in the middle of a cycle. Your temperatures will be different from this cycle but what you are looking for is a series of lows and a series of highs each month. I am not familiar with FF and don't know why it is wanting you to wait until the 28th to test. I am thinking that it is using a 30 day cycle for it's estimates instead of your normal 25-27 days for some reason. But your temps look great. I think I would have tested already, actually I tested last night at only 8 DPO, lol. How often do you go to 27 days?

If this is your first month charting then FF doesn't have any other cycles of yours to compare it to to know how long is normal for you. For the first cycle it tells you to wait longer before testing, it's just standard for a first time charter on FF. Like dapgal said, you can definitely change your time the next cycle, just not mid cycle.

Thanks ladies...I know these sound like silly question...but I just want to do everything right...But I'm still to afraid to test...also on FF it has a "Pregnancy Estimater" and I think I have about 54 pts...Is that a good number???

And to answer your question Dapgal, I think I haven't had a 27 day cycle since Jan to Feb. and every cycle after that was been pretty much 24 to 25 days....I think maybe me taking clomid this cycle might be throwing me off too...GRRR I hate this GAME...lol

Your chart looks great. I understand the waiting to test. I have gotten to be that way myself and I used to be a complete testaholic.
