Confused...crosshairs and OPK not matching (xposted)

I was playing with my chart and putting pretend temps in for tomorrow and everything that I put in gives me dotted crosshairs over CD 14 BUT I did not get a + OPK until CD15 and the OPK was darker on CD16. How can my chart say that I probably Oed before my OPK was +?

BTW, I put in a wide range of temps and they all give me the crosshairs in CD 14. I know I can not be certain until tomorrow morning, but it is just really bugging me. Could you take a look?

It looks to me like you O'd when FF says you O'd... But even if you didn't, I think that in this example, it would be smart to BD from CD12 - CD16. Especially since you got EWCM on CD12.

That would have given you the best shot regardless which day you O'd

FF is notorious for false interpretations. You need 3 temps which are higher than the previous 6 to confirm ovulation, and CM dry up - neither of which has happened yet. The two higher temps on days 15 and 16 are probably what's making FF jump the gun.

Thank you! The thing is, my DH has a low sperm count so we can not BD everyday to get pregnant, or even everyother day. This is my first full cycle to chart since TTC #2, so I am just trying to get a feel for O day. I was trying to BD about 3 days before O and then again on O day. That will help give DHs sperm enough time to build back up. That was how we were successful conceiving DD. So.....it's kinda tricky for us.
