Decided to pay for FF

I really don't understand my chart. I have been trying to compare mine to other JM ladies, but it doesn't make sense. Where do I read what an *ideal chart* looks like so I know if mine is looking good or bad?

FF kept moving my O day around, and now I'm unsure when it really was. My temps just keep rising and there isn't a dip really? Is that bad?

If you haven't already done it, I strongly recommend taking the email course on charting that FF offers. FF Course

Here is a list of different articles JM has about charting.

I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, please ask. Feel free to PM me anytime you need anything. BTW.....your chart looks really good right now.

Your chart looks good to me too!! How long is your luteal phase normally?? when do you plan on testing?

Jeb-O · #4 July 23rd, 2007, 11:18 PM

I am not sure how long my "normal" luteal phase is. This is the first time I have ever charted, because DH and I have been TTC for several months and had no luck. Figured I better get a hang of my body before I expect it to work the way I want it to! haha

Thanks for the links to the tutorial. I will start reading!

Your chart has some conflicting interpretation. I do think you O'd, and I tend to agree with FF. But, if y ou were to go on temps alone it wouldl ook like you O'd a sooner, on CD 19. With CM and OPK I agree with FF, but that missing temp could have told a different story.

Since the temp from CD 24 to 25 is a full .2 difference there could even be an arguement made for CD 24 as O. I don't think it is, but if it seems like a long time from when you O'd til AF shows and you ar enot pregnant, it would be something to keep in mind. Like if you end up getting AF at 17 DPO, than maybe the O was CD 24, and you are really only 14 DPO. Does that make any sense at all?

That's exactly why I'm confused! Because FF kept moving my O day around I'm afraid I may have actually missed it or BD after O. We'll see, I supposed!! Just waiting for AF (Or hopefully NOT) so I can further track my cycles.Thanks for looking, ladies!That's exactly why I'm confused!

Those missing temps make it hard. You gotta temp every day.
12DPO... I think I'd go ahead and test!

Yeah, I have been temping every day, but sometimes I can't temp on time. One of the days I missed was because I had to catch a reeeeally early flight and needed to wake up at 3:30 a.m. My temp wouldn't have been accurate even if I took it.

I want to POAS sooo bad, but I should probably wait to see if AF shows... I haaate waiting!
