Question ab Fertility Friend and ovulating

mdredmon1 · #1 July 20th, 2009, 01:43 PM

Ok, here are my questions.
According to OPKs I ovulated or had the surge (??) for a couple of days. But on Fertility Friend my temps dont show that I have ovulated. Did I ovulate? Do I go by the OPKs or FF? Next question is I had a positive OPK this morning but when I tested again this afternoon I had a negative. What do I need to put on Fertility Friend? Do I put a + or a -?
Thanks ladies for all your help!!!
All this info is on my chart.

I would go with your OPK. I know with myself my temps show that I did not O but I got a positive OPK. Well it may be that the test detected the Surge and then it got ligther and could not detect. I took 3 tests the day I had my positive and in the morning it said NO but then as the day went on it got darker. I think they are confusing! ha.. Good luck to you and baby dust!

Okay, here's the thing. OPKs tell you that you are going to ovulate soon. You get a +OPK anywhere from 12 hours to 3 days before you O. I would put a positive OPK on today's chart since you had one in the morning. I would try to bd today. You will probably see a temp rise tomorrow or the next day.

It's a little confusing at first. OPKs tell you that you will be ovulating soon and charting you can't see you ovulated until after you ovulated, but when you put the two together that's when they work their magic. One predicting before and the other confirming after. Just hang in there. I bet you see a nice temp rise tomorrow or the next day.

Thanks!! My hubby and I are going to BD tonight so hopefully I will have been successful. I will be glad to see ovulation on my chart.

Ditto. And from looking at your chart your OPKs were right! Look at today's temp spike!!! I think you o'd by golly!!!

Hey Patty.....when will fertility friend put my lines on the chart? I think I O'd too b/c I have been cramping a little this morning but my hubby and I tried to BD last night and we just weren't in the mood.

He said we could try again tonight.
