I haven't gotten my cross-hairs yet, and I was really kind of expecting them today, to me it looks like I am having a slow temp rise. And I o'ed either sunday or monday, based on cm.cp and temps.
I manipulated some temps quickly for the next 2 days, and doing that it says I O'ed tuesday, but the cm wasn't there to back it up.
I realize FF is just a computer program and may bot be accurate, especially with someone who has such long cycles and "fooled ya" O's.
so what are your thoughs? do you agree with FF and I probably have no chance at being PG, or could I be right?
eta - I don't know how to get FF to show BD, so I'll tell you, we bd'ed on friday and sunday.

really? that surprises me.
I have been charting off and on for 11 years, I started charting back when there was no software to tell you when you O'ed.
I've read TCOYF cover to cover several times, and I am pretty sure I did O eitehr sunday or monday, the temps the cm and cp are there, which is why I am confused by what FF is telling me.
nevermind, I guess this is the wrong place for a vet to post.

Wow, sorry I was just giving you my opinion! If that's not what you wanted, why did you post?? Sorry if I offended you; I should have clarified that I am new to charting and not a "pro" so it's quite possible I am wrong, but I gave you my opinion...

sorry I jumped all over you. That is how I know I o'ed - I am quite ******! haha! sorry about that.
I went back and looked at some TCOYF charts, and the school of thought must just be different, because on those charts, they usually peg O for the last low temp before the temp rise.

Haha, np!  I just didn't see that big dip of your temp that I am used to seeing before O. But like I said, I am fairly new to this although I love studying and looking at charts. On ff there is a "game" where they give you a blank chart and you have to say where you think the O date is!  Good luck to you!!

It is not a given that a person will have an O dip. Only the fortunate ones will have an O dip. Looks to me like you probably O'd on your last day of fertile cm, or the day before. Yup, I'm pretty sure you're in the 2ww!

I've always had problems trying to chart with FF but I think it was me (the user) that was entering the data. In the past someone had told me that the crosshairs don't show up because of the gaps between the "CM".... If you fill those days 30, 32 you might have those crosshairs... just curious to see if it is the case... In any case hope that you did "O"...... Let's just cross our fingers that your temps don't drop....

I agree with you that you either O'd Sunday or Monday based on your other fertility signs and the rise in temps. I'm actually surprised FF hasn't given you crosshairs yet. To show your BD info, you go to Account=>Settings (on the left hand side of the FF page) and then click on Home Page Settings. In the privacy section, there are different things that you can have shown on your chart. If you check the box next to Publish Intercourse Data, it will show up when you share your chart. Good luck! I hope you get your crosshairs soon!

I'd say you o'ed Sun, Mon, or at latest Tue. Either one, I'd say you are covered with bd'ing on Sunday.
Have you ever used TCOYF online? I think perhaps they would take the cp and cm more into account than what FF does. If I'm correct, I do believe FF takes temps and opks more into its calculations than cm and cp.

I say sunday monday, i think your BD timing was right
Not everyone has a significant dip on O day, some do, some that do some months dont other months. Slow rises need to get an extra high temp or 2 to confirm
