    It depends, could there be a reason for the high temp on CD10? did you have a fever, toothache, headache etc? That high temp and then drop the next day would be making FF think it was an ovulation dip due to the rises over the next few days.

    Could there be another reason for the dip on CD11? sleep with a fan on, window open etc?

    We have all had colds, but I was expecting a temp rise because of that!?

    Colds can do weird things to charts... they can give you high temps and/or low temps. I had the same thing with my chart when I had a toothache... FF didn't know what to do so it said I had ovulated and then changed its mind a few weeks later (I have VERY long cycles). I would say that FF may correct itself once it gets further info from the next few days.

    Based on the cold info I would say that CD12 is not when you ovulated but the fertile CM around CD15-CD17 may be when you ovulated. The negative OPK is also going to confuse FF.

    Sorry I haven't really been much help... I hope that with a few more temps FF sorts itself out.

    I am only new at reading charts but I would say your about to O as there has not being a consistent temp above the coverline. Do you have any other months to compair it too?

    Not really, but most of my last charts I have ovulated around CD 18, that along with the cervical mucus is what made me think ovulation was/is on its way!

    I know that with getting up for the boys and having a cold my temps have been a bit weird... my temps seem to be higher this month than other months, I'm usually around 36/35.

    based on your chart today, I think today is ov day, it was last month according to f/f and you can have quite a few days of fertile mucous before ovulation. Are you also charting you cervix position etc, it can be very helpful in just confirming what the cm is doing.
