@sandcastlesinthesand @millegirl @Nicole2006 Welcome! Just so you know, you're only fertile the day you ovulate and the 5 days before O, so it's kind of pointless to list +2 ,+5 or -8 in your timing. FF recommends having sex the day after you think you ovulated, just in case you didn't really ovulate. But once you show a temp spike, it's pretty much already too late. Make sure you check out the newbie blog if you haven't already. Lots of good information can be found there! GL!

Yes, @lilsneezy! I'm also curious about the ones who say they ovulated "today." What voodoo magic is this? Ovulation isn't ovulation until you've confirmed it with 3 sustained, elevated temps (ETA: or ultrasound), no?

I can usually call it at 1 or 2 dpo before FF gives me CH, but that's only when I had + OPKs and then get a decent temp spike.  Definitely don't understand the ladies who are saying today is O day....really they are just guessing.

For my part I am just guessing. All I can predict with certainty is that AF is due arrive 2weeks today. 

----quote box fail----
Not so much. Unless you know when you ovulated, you have no idea when your period is "due," and even then it's hard to pin down to the day. You may normally have a 28 day cycle, but cycles change. People sometimes ovulate later than normal, or have a slightly longer than normal LP. I would highly recommend temping if you want to be serious about tracking your cycle.

Eta sorry for the long tree, mobile, afraid to trim.

Um the phrase "predict with certainty" is absurd. You see that, right?
