So my temp went way up today and when i plugged in into my FF chart they moved my ovultion day from CD 16 to CD 18! i didnt know they could move it NOW... if i would have known that ov day was gonna be the 18th i would have kept bd'ing, but i was tired so we stopped cause i though i was passed ovulation!!! i could cry! what if i missed the egg????? oh man!

The reason I think they shifted your O date back was that on CD 15, your temp was higher than the temp on the 18th. But sometimes, people's temps have a spike just before O so there is a chance that you may have really Oed on the 15th but I'm not entirely sure. However, if I recall correctly OPKs turn positive a couple hours before O occurs so I'm thinking FF may be right.

Really, it's complex because the temps and opk kind of agree with FF but your CM leans towards what you think. Let's hope some experienced mommies help you out soon. I pray for good news.

EDIT: This actually happened to me during my last cycle. It initially charted CD 14 as my O date then moved it back to CD 22. Also, Teresa encountered a similar problem here:

Just to give you some ideas.

When did you BD last? Healthy sperm can live up to almost a week.
Yes, FF does do that, but I can see why now. You had a clearer thermal shift on CD18, than CD16. Its frustrating, but it happens. Dont stress too much.

we last bd'ed on CD 18 in the PM. i just wanted to kick myself when they shifter my temp. i do see that its possible that ovulation really did occur later than CD16 like FF says but it just made me all confused. I was so ecxitted for the big temp increase cause i thought that was suppose to be a good sign..

The good news is that most semen live from 2-3 days and at the most around 5 days so if you did BD on the 18th, I'd say you still have a shot this cycle.

Hi Fay, I was stalking your chart yesterday (does it feel weird to have a stalker, LOL) and had a feeling FF would move your crosshairs since your + OPK was on CD 17. It looks right to me. Did you BD on CD 16 or 17? Even if you just BD's on CD 18 I think you still have a good shot. Good luck hun I'm rooting for you!

oh good, u guys are making me less worried.
i dont mind having a stalker, u know how many charts i stalk lol.
We bd'ed on CD 15,16,17,18.

Admin-pattyandthemoos · #9 November 3rd, 2009, 06:46 AM

Yes, FF will change your o date based on your fertile signs or temps. I think you are in great shape if you bd'd on CD18 because that was your o date.

I always try to bd until I have had a positive opk and have seen a sustained three day temp shift. It is important to keep bding until your temp has been up for three full days because sometimes you will have a temp shift like yours.

I really think you timed things well. It only takes one sperm and you bd right on your o date so you couldn't have timed things any better.

Good luck!!! I will be stalking you!

HOLY COW! Why the heck are you worried! That was a ton of bding and all during your fertile window. You are in GREAT SHAPE!!!

TeresaSuperMama · #10 November 3rd, 2009, 06:49 AM

Your O date looks absolutely right to me now. I think you timed things perfectly as far as bding goes so I wouldn't worry about that. Good luck!

With your BD dates listed, I think you covered your bases better for O'ing on CD 18 than CD 16... good luck!

forest · #13 November 3rd, 2009, 09:17 AM

You are totally good with the days you BDed! You hit the most fertile times.

I'll be stalking your chart now.

faysdt414 · #14 November 3rd, 2009, 11:34 AM

oh yay, there is hope! im going to the doctor later today for blood work, ill keep you posted!

ShawnaCAN · #15 November 3rd, 2009, 01:44 PM

Just to warn you...the bloodwork (progesterone test) might come back with lower than normal results because you're only 3DPO right now. It's meant to test your progerestone levels at 7DPO, assuming every woman ovulates on CD14. Obviously, we don't. Don't be alarmed if the levels come back too low or your doctor tells you that you're not ovulating based on the blood work. The ideal time for the progesterone test this cycle would be CD25.
