I'm new to the whole charting and temping thing and really only started entering data yesterday. Since this is our first cycle TTC I'm not sure how long my cycles are yet and FF has me on the standard 28 day cycle for now. Yesterday my chart and calendar made complete sense but today after I entered my CM data it made the 2nd and 3rd days of my cycle as green boxes (saying "Fertile/Best Conception Chances) but obviously I had AF at that time and I surely wasn't ovulating then.

Any ideas why it changed and how I can get it back?

Thanks!

Can you post the link to your chart.

I think this is it...but it's only showing the chart and not the calendar...

That is the right chart. On your next chart, try to enter more temps. Make sure you temp at the same time every morning and get 3 hours of sleep before temping. I'll be stalking you.

Next cycle will definitely have more temps as today was my first day temping. I'm so excited to start the next cycle..that is if I'm not PG. Glad you're stalking me!

It changed because of the info you gave it. If you really want it to go back and just look "normal", just erase the CM data from your AF days.

But it doesn't matter what it says on the calendar. It just updates those as you go ... it's not calculating your O date from that. Anytime you put in eggwhite or watery cervical mucus it colors that day green on the calendar, as "potentially fertile". And they are potentially fertile if you have that kind of CM. Just because you know you weren't ovulating, doesn't mean the hormones weren't otherwise right for conception ... obviously they were because you produced fertile cervical mucus.

The green calendar days are ONLY concerned with when you had fertile signs. At a glance you can see "Oh I had three potentially fertile windows." That might mean your body geared up to O twice before it actually did. You can see "Wow! We really need to start BDing on the days when I have fertile CM just in case ... we totally missed the egg because we ignored my fertile signs." Things like that might not be totally apparent on the chart, so they are represented on the calendar in a way that makes it easier to see.

Oh, and it is technically possible to be fertile during your period. If you experience what's called "spontaneous ovulation", for example, a second egg might be released while you're still bleeding. Obviously most people wouldn't get pregnant from that, since the egg is only viable for less than a day, but it's possible. Another instance that might happen is, if a woman's cycles are on the short side and she O's early. If she starts getting fertile CM 5 days before O, and she O's on CD 8, that fertile mucus obviously might fall during her period. And sperm can survive a few days. So FF is being "safe", in a way, when it marks ANY time with fertile signs as "potentially fertile".

Being it doesn't have anything to look back on it is assuming.

once you have a few charts under your belt it can forcast better to YOUR body signs and such.

lets hope you don't need a few cycles though and you get pg soon!

Thanks! I actually added the days in that I had AF and that took care of it. Now it looks more normal with the calendar at least. I'm still trying to understand the whole temps thing.
