I did not expect crosshairs today! Yesterday I finally dried up and started having mettleschmertz. I used to think that was signaling the day of ovulation, but last month FF put my o date the day after. Since I had the o pain yesterday, I thought I'd start to get my rise today or tomorrow. Also, if I compare how high my temps got last month, my temps still seems to be in my pre-o range. Will FF adjust if I actually am o'ing today? I think I should BD just to be safe, right? TIA!!

No worries, FF will do whatever it feels makes most sense. Last cycle they moved my O date from CD15 to CD17 then back to CD15 again based on my post-o temps. Kinda aggravating and I'm still not so sure I agree but at least it tries?

Best of luck, and yes I would BD today just to make sure you have that covered

I'm sure you got the crosshairs because your temps have been raised enough to make a biphasic chart, but if you haven't O'd yet and your temps rise more, then FF should adjust the crosshairs 3 days after the next rise. Hope it becomes more clear in a few days!

When was the last time you BD'ed?

About an hour ago lol. I also BD CD 17, 19, and 21. So I think the timing will be good whether FF is right today or ends up moving it forward. Last month o pains were on CD 23 (my first dry day) and I o'd on the second dry day. Yesterday I had o pains and it was my first dry day. So I would expect to o today and see temps start to raise tomorrow. AF is consistently 14 days after my o pains.

I am interested to see what FF does for you as this is my first cycle BBT

Well my temp is way up but given my cold-like symptoms I'm going to call it a fever lol. I hope this doesn't hurt my chances this month. =(

Crap to your fever! I don't think it will hurt your chances at all.

I will be curious to see how your temps are after your cold. Either way, with the dates you BD'd I think you are nicely covered either way. GOOOOOOOD Luck lady!

And here's to us both getting over our nasty rotten colds!
