BBT - Do You Chart? Help Needed In Here - FF HELP

[greenapple]

well I have BBT's again for the few days prior to ovulation until now (and I will finish off until I get AF)

I am now CD22 and according to FF i haven't ovulated. I have had thrush this month so not sure if that has anything to do with my eratic temps, but I would really like someone to look at my chart and tell me what they think

My Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/244d92)

It is hard to tell because FF isn't marking that I ovulated on CD15 - which I know I did!! The OPK was + fast and dark...

I know I should be BBT'ingt the whole month however I kept forgetting in the first part of my cycle, until I had already been up and gone to the toilet which by then is too late to get an accurate reading.

The batteries on the thermometre is fine too!!

Any suggestions would be great

I'd say you ovulated on 16th or 17th!

OPKs detect the LH surge which comes just BEFORE ovulation... so you didnt necesarily ovulate the day you got a positive opk, but likely the day after.

If you want a tip to remember to take your temp. Set an alarm, not at the time you intend to get up... but earlier.
I set my alarm for 4am. This is enough time for my temp to settle after going to bed, and enough time for me to be able to get back to sleep knowing I still have a couple of hours to sleep!

I wouldnt worry to much about FF Im pretty sure if you miss 3 consecutive temps it wont confirm O. Chart looks like you definitely Od so hope you caught that egg :)

I would have said you O'd on CD16 for sure looking at that. I wonder why FF isn't playing nice?? Wouldn't have said your temps were particularly erratic either - they actually look pretty good. Hope you caught that egg :fingerscrossed:

Had a peek at your chart. I would say FF isnt confirming your ovulation because of two reasons. One being you have no prior recorded temps to ovulation for it to pick up the drop and then increase, and secondly you have recorded EWCM a couple of days after ovulation....

You can alter your settings in FF for how it picks up ovulation. There is a setting in there where it just goes by when you record a positive opk - sometimes I play around with that.

But looking at your temps I would say you ovulated CD17 as thats what your temp reflects the rise

I would agree with Craftymum about the pre-temps. It has nothing to compare the temps to, but I believe you ovulated on CD 16 because the temp surge on cd 17.

I agree, it looks like you O'd on CD16. I'd say FF didn't confirm ovulation because there is no range of lower temps to compare it to. It probably doesn't count it if the primary signs are what's missing.
