I thought that you count 6 temps back from the day of your spike and then mark it up by .10.... is that right??? So, does that mean I will get crosshairs tomorrow maybe???

This charting things drives me nuts.....maybe I should stop.

You go .2 above the highest temp of the six previous temps.

It looks like you may have O'd yesterday. since you had a huge spike today, so give it two more high temps an dyou should get your CH.

Bummer. I was hoping for only one more temp..... I just want to get the crosshairs and then stop charting.... don't want to make myself think more about getting Pg

FF uses the 'advanced' setting. Which takes data from all the women who use it to interpret your chart. The traditional way is to count the 6 previous temps and go .2 above that. That is why FF will often give people CH, take them away, give them for another day, etc. They ar enot always very accurate, and it is really good for you to learn how to do it yourself. I think I saw that you were reading TCOYF, but it might help to get a 'text' book from one of the organizations that teach NFP. They go into a lot more detail about charting.

Thanks.

I appreciate it. I am hoping to get my crosshairs and then stop charting to eliminate stress.
