Here's my previous cycle's chart:

It's been & gone, but I figure it's not a bad practice for charting newbies to discuss already completed charts (might be somewhat educational).

I know FF marked my O date as CD14, but I'm not sure I believe that. I'm thinking it might actually have been CD16 for a few reasons:

1) On all the cycles that I've temped and gotten a definite drip then rise (ie pretty obvious O date), it's been on CD16

2) On those same charts, it's been on the last +OPK, never on the first.

3) I kind of had a zig zag pattern going on that month (kind of pretty actually ). After the CD14 drop, I do have a pretty big rise, but then it drops again and after the CD16 dip, I get a break in the zig zag pattern and actually have 2 days of rising temps.

I suppose the CD16 dip could be a fall back rise, but something about Oing on the first +OPK then having 2 more +OPK's just really bugs me.

Plus, if I O'd on CD14, my timing should have been perfect but I didn't get pregnant. If I actually O'd on CD16, my timing really wasn't so good so it shouldn't have been that suprising that I didn'g get pregnant that cycle. (This is mainly me rationalizing to myself to make myself feel better because I was so sure that cycle was going to be the one).

I agree with you. I think cycle day 16 is right. The reason why is because you were still having ewcm until day 16 and then it dried up. Plus it doesn't follow the 3 over six rule. I do sometimes have a fall back rise pattern myself but based on your cm info and the length of your luteal phase, I think day 16 is right.
