What day did I O?

if I take away the eggwhite cm FF says I O'd on cd 17, if I have the eggwhite cm there FF says I O'd on cd 14, so I am either 12 or 9 dpo....on cd14 I had tons of eggwhite cm and my cervix was at its highest and very soft, on cd 17 my cervix was low and I couldnt really tell what my cm was due to bding. I dont think it had as much eggwhite as cd 14 but I dunno. I do know my cervix lowered that day.
So with all that, when do you think I O'd? I want to go buy an hpt, I am sick of the dollar tree brands they have been giving me weird readings.

It's hard to say. I do agree that it was either CD 14 or CD 17 but if you are questioning your CM on CD 17 due to BDing, then I'd go with CD 14 since you knew you were having a lot of EWCM then. Based strictly on temps and ignoring the CM, I would have said CD 17. SOrry, I know that doesn't help at all!

I would have to say that I agree with the way FF has it now.

If your cm was possibly obscured by semen, then you can't truly trust that reading. In the future, if you don't get your BFP this cycle, if you place a drop of the "fluid" in a glass of water you can determine if it's ewcm or semen... semen dissolves, ewcm turns into a ball and sinks.

As for your temps, I think your chart looks "right". I've seen many charts that have a "fall back" a day or two after O. This is sometimes due to a secondary surge of estrogen, and again... very common.

Overall, I think things look pretty good for you.

It's hard to say. Last month my temps didn't go up until 4 days after all my EWCM disappeared. I really don't know when I O'd for sure...it was my first time to O since having my baby, so maybe it was just weird.

I think FF has it right too. I think you just have a fall back rise pattern. I used to have a fall back rise pattern a lot and it used to confuse me.

If you use your cm and cp info it all looks right. I can see the case for CD17 but I just think that your cervix would have been higher if that were your o day. Plus, you said you had a ton of ewcm on CD14 and your cervix was at its highest. That is what you would expect to see on your o date.
