Getting ready to O? Chart experts have a look, please!

My temps have been going very well since I've been taking them around the same time every morning (and haven't been missing any!), and now they have been making a steady drop. I'm on CD13, so I'm excited to see what happens over the next few days! Does this look like an O drop? Isn't that what happens?

Your chart looks so much better this cycle. I can tell that you are temping more consistently because your chart is not all up and down this time. I think you are close to ovulating. Hopefully you get your temp spike soon! I will be stalking you!

Your chart is a lot more consistant this time around! I know its tough to keep a good schedule. I'm the WORST on the weekends.LOL.
Has your CM changed yet? That's always my first clue that I'm going to O. Water/EWCM starts a good 4 days before O for me. Hope you get your temp shift soon!!

Yes, my CM has been becoming consistently more fertile. It was on the verge of being EWCM all day today, so I expect that I will have EWCM tomorrow.

Charting is fun! I'm glad to see that my body is being normal. Last month scared me since it looked like my LP was too short, but Patty was right in suggesting that I could have O'd sooner than I thought, being that I was missing a few days' temps, anyway. So hopefully my LP will be at least 12 days or more this month!

Even though I'm not TTC until our wedding month, I don't understand why FF wouldn't consider me "fertile" right now, on CD14. I have the red light on fertility, just because ovulation hasn't been detected yet. But aren't you the most fertile the days BEFORE ovulation? Why does FF say that?

Since you have only charted one cycle they are probably just basing this on your cycle length from last month. They will change your fertile window as you have more cycles entered. (I think that is how they do it anyway.)
