Chart stalkers, please? UPDATED

Today, my temp was way up.. so FF gave me dotted crosshairs.

However, on CD24 (when it says I O'ed), my temp was REALLY 96.41, but I took it early (at 4:30am instead of 8am). If I leave it as that, it looks like I O'ed, but if I adjust it with the temperature corrector calculator, then it's 96.91, and then it takes my CH's away. Not sure what to do. I haven't had EWCM this cycle.. either watery or thin/white/gummy. I really thought I was going to O on CD20 after that first temp spike, but it doesn't look like that happened. Then I thought maybe my body was trying again.. now I have no clue, and AF is due any day now.

WDYT?

Hi there, this is my 3rd month charting with FF but I'll try to give you my 2 cents opinion here, I'm not an expert because I'm having trouble with my own chart as well.

I think FF will only interpret ovulation day when it detects a sustained temperature rise of 3 consecutive days (i.e CD24 when it was 96.41, followed by 2 temp rise). So, when CD24 is plotted as 96.91, the next 2 temps you had were lower than 96.91 and FF will interpret it as not-ovulating, hence taking away your CH. But I hope CD24 is really your O-day because you'd have a chance of getting a BFP.

Do you have any other BBT charts to compare this one to? Keep on plotting the chart, hopefully the temp will stay up like that.

Hugs,
Elaine

This is my first one

We were TTC for a bit over two years, and I decided to start charting. Thanks so much for your input.. I think that is what FF is going, which is why I am having a hard time really accepting CD24 as when I O'ed, kwim? Unfortunately, my cycles have been pretty regular and if anything, short, for the past few months.. so if I DID O, I'm afraid it's way too late

Leave the temp hun, but you need to mark it as you took it early so its an open circle instead of solid. Not every one goes by the rule of thumb when it comes to the temp corrector.

How can I do this?

When you are on the screen where you enter you temps, it has your default time in the box. Just change that to the time that you actually temped. That will give you your open circle on that day. HTH

I don't think you O'd when FF says you did. I think you could have O'd the day before the big temp jump you just had. If you get 2 more high temps like that FF will move you CH. If so I would BD, you never know you could catch the eggie before it is no good.

Maybe you're right.. it's all just so confusing

Today's temp added.. a dip.. wdyt?

MountainMomma · #10 July 13th, 2007, 11:03 AM

Your temp is still well above the cover line. It's fine. I'll keep watching it for a few days and let you know what I think.

JustWant2Love · #11 July 14th, 2007, 08:43 AM

Should my temps be dropping like this? Or is it fine as long as they're above the cover line? Still trying to figure out when the heck (if) I O'ed... and AF is due any day now.

Hi there. I'm sorry that hag showed up on Monday.

I've been stalking your chart (heheh). I see a + OPK on your CD 18 and then it was - OPK for a few days after that, and it came back as + OPK on your CD 22. Is this normal for you? Does it mean that your body is trying to Ovulate twice? I've never used an OPK before and don't know how to interpret it, just want to know how OPK works.
