FF had my o date on the 17th then for some reason with todays temp they moved it to the 21st. I have never o'ed that late before and my cycles are usually about 26-28 days. I mean can I o that late...... AF is suposed to show 7 days later. This cycle is really different from my last and it's totally throwing me off. Just in case, I think we covered the BDing pretty well for either date!

I'm not really sure as I'm not a pro charter, but it looks to me like as CD21 as your O date that your post O temps have a better shift...maybe that's why FF changed it? I'd say that if you aren't doing anything different this cycle to make you O later and your cycles are typically 26-28 days long, you probably did O on CD17 like FF originally thought. Maybe someone else has more experience charting than I do and can give better input? Good thing you've got BDing covered for both dates! =)

I ditto AlanaIris. I would play with the O detector settings and see what comes up. There are 4 different options. I use the Research and Fertility awareness methods mostly.

Interesting. When I change the O setting in FF to Awareness it changed my O date to the 15th. Why do you think that is? So far it's been the 17th, the 21st, and now the 15th! I had it on Advanced like it recommended. Wondering if I should change it back or keep it as is.

I use the fertility awareness method a lot. The fertility awareness method uses the more traditional guidelines for charting. FF has their own way of doing things that I don't always agree with. I think the reason FF moved your o date was because of your cm and your readings on your fertility monitor.

I am having a hard time deciding your o date because you have conflicting information. I can see the reason they marked it as CD 15 and it lines up with your previous cycle information. You may want to start adding your cervix position and ovulation tests to your chart to help you narrow things down.

CD 15 does seem to line up with the three over six rule if you disregard the open circle temp. But, your cm is what makes it seem like you did not ovulate on that day. Are you checking your cm externally or internally? I am just wondering if your cm data is accurate. If what you have marked as watery isn't actually fertile cm it could be making your chart misleading. Did you feel wet during the days that you marked watery? Did you notice wetness in your underwear those days or when you wiped or was it an internal observation?

I usually check my CM externally. Whenever I try to do it internally I can never really tell what I have and it always seems creamy to me. I might be off with my CM, maybe I am mistaking Seamen for CM? I played with my chart a little and it gave me premanat CH's on the 17th when I use Advanced Detection and dotted CH on the 15th when I use Awearness Method. I am crazy impatient and I already POS 4 & 6 days past o, that is with my O date being the 17th. So it's 6 & 8 days past O if my O date is the 15th. They were BFN of course, I'm thinking I jumped the gun and tested too early. I am so nauseous and AF is due 1-2 days and no signs all her at all. Not to mention I had a huge temp drop today that makes me very nervous.
