    Charting Help

    Ok so this is my first month at charting. So far its not looking to good. Question: Does the heat affect your BBT or not??

    24c599 Ovulation Charts

    Here is my chart, im taking my temp 7am every morning before i do anyting. Sometimes its 6.30, but usually around the 7am time frame. Im due for AF on the 11th.

    Yes the heat will affect your BBT slightly but your chart does look pretty accurate. Your CM was fertile at the same time as you ovulation tests and your temperature rise. Unfortunately that does not look like a pregnancy chart though. All the best hun

    Hi Girls - I'm popping in from another forum (TTC for over 35s) - I'm TTC#1 at 35, have been for 4 months after 19 years of BC......only on my second month of BBT charting on FertilityFriend and have a question if anyone can help.

    Last month I had an obvious temp rise and O'd on Day 12 as far as FertilityFriend says. I'm now on Day 14 and no sign of ovulation as far as temps are concerned, I've had strong ovulation pains for the last 3 days straight, had EWCM on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, started to disappear Wednesday but my temps have gone from around 36.3 the last few days, yesterday spiked to 36.44 so I thought it was looking good but today it's gone back down to 36.33! The only thing I can think of is that yesterday I thought I'd slept in and woke from a dream panicked and sat up and got out of bed and realised so lied straight back down and did the temp, can doing that make the difference? I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to miss the opportunity. We've BD'd the last 3 nights in a row but I think I'll have to have a rest tonight, we're buggered physically! (Getting old ha ha).

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks a bunch and have a fab day.

    Hey Alison!

    Can you please post or PM a link to your chart? I find it hard to make a judgement without seeing it

    FF wont show o till 3 days after you o.

    so even if your temp did rise then drop back to same if it rises again tomorrow it may show O for monday or sunday..

    it looks for patterns not one off temp rises.. and it you ahve fertile CM and Cervix position and a temp drop then rise it will show it up..

    Hi Alioops - thanks heaps! Here it is:

    http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/

    Hope I did that right! The only thing I think about yesterday or today is this, yesterday I got up thinking I'd slept in, you know when you wake from a dream and panic that you've overslept so I lied back down but I'd already stood up, not sure if it's that sensitive as I've not done that before and this morning I felt a bit cooler as the aircon was on a bit higher last night but not hugely different.

    I just thought FF didn't show ovulation until 3 high temps in a row which in this rate will give me the weekend...nearly a week after EWCM.

    Thanks girls for your help, appreciate it.

    HI Ladies

    I'd also love to get your expertise on my chart. This is my first full month of charting and I'm trying to get everything right!

    24afc6 Ovulation Charts

    I have two main areas -

    When did I ovulate?
    I didn't get a positive OPK at all this month. I only test once per day after work . I kept getting a second faint positive line, but never dark enough for a positive. Last month I had 1 test line for 4 days, then a clear strong positive, and then back to test line again. hould I test twice per day?
    FF initally thought I'd o'd on the 19th, but when I added a few more temps in, she very rudely changed it! She changed it from my perfect CD19 with BD on each day -3,-2-,1-,0,+1 to CD21 when we didn't BD!!!! We BD for 11/12 days straight and she goes and chooses the one day that we didn't BD.
    Any ideas?

    Secondly, I know its still early days but any ideas if this might be a pregnancy chart? I usually have a 32 day cycle, but FF thinks it might be 36days this month......

    Any help much appreciated. When you're new to this, you just keep looking at your chart waiting for something to happen!

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    Hi Cosimum - how did you get that link to post your chart? I can't figure out how to do it!

    Thanks for your help.

    Cosimum - even if you did O on the day that FF says chances are that there would be plenty of sperm there.

    Cosimum it's too early to tell at this stage, give it a few more days, you want to see that temp stay up there or keep rising (though some people get an implantation dip any time between 7dpo-11dpo)
