Ack, temp help?

Okay, so I am really pretty sure that I Oed on CD 16. Reasons being because of my cervical position, I got a positive OPK that day (tend to get them the day that I O), and I also had some O pain that night.

But this morning, I temped about an hour and 20 minutes early. 97.35, my temp dropped.
I temped 2 hours later (maybe an hour and 20 minutes past my "normal" temp time) and got 98.36 Wow! What a difference.

I know the "rule" is that you should put the earlier temp. But I'm afraid if I do that, FF will not end up showing that I Oed on CD 16. I've got the earlier temp in my chart for now if you want to take a look.

I'd really be second guessing myself except for that my cervix has already dropped and gotten firmer.

Can I average the temps or anything crazy like that?

Did you adjust the temp for waking up 80 minutes early? I'd be inclined to go with that one and maybe mark it out.

You can use the temp corrector on FF if you want.....I had to use it the other day because I too took 2 very different temps (I posted about it). I used the corrected temp because I absolutely KNOW I O'd on CD 15....all the signs were there...and if I used the corrected temp, FF gave me CH that said I O'd on CD 15. If I hadn't been feeling like I was going to O, I'd probably have used the low temp or just omitted it all together.

I agree. I would use the first temp and use a temp corrector. TCOYF has a temp corrector built into their software so I always use it but I know they have correctors online.

I looked for the temp corrector a month or two ago and could not find it. Is it only for paid subscribers of FF?

yeah, I think it's only for paid. They adjust by .1 degrees every 30 minutes, so you can do the rough math.

Honestly, I think if you know your body well enough--based on CP and such, you should go with that. I think temps can be fickle sometimes. Good luck to you!

Thanks! I corrected it myself because I wanted my coverline to be in the right place.

Shoot I'm so sorry! I didn't realize that was for paying users only! I still have my VIP thing going on with FF, so I guess that's why I get to use the temp corrector. Here's a link to another site that has a temp corrector you can use for free.
