Any Good Chart Readers?

So, as you can see ff says I o'd on the 16th but those two high temps are because I was super sick over the weekend.  I don't like to discard temps but I'm fairly positive I did not o when ff says I did.  I don't even know that I have o'd yet at all.  What do you ladies think?

I am not an expert.  Nor do I temp. but have researched.  I am thinking you may have O'd on CD 16 or 17.  I agree, those two high temps threw off FF.

Yep, even looking you had cramps on CD17 and you CM.  If I was playing the game I would pick CD 17

@sonpetitlapin - I was thinking cd 16 or 17 as well but then I had a temp drop again this morning.  I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.  My body is having fun confusing me.

Here's what I'm thinking - I'm absolutely no expert - if those two temps were high because of illness, your overall cover line may actually be wrong too, so that may change the whole look of it.  I agree with CD16.  Out of curiosity, have you gone in and discarded those two temps?  Just wondering what it would look like if you did.

@emsmama15 - I played around and discarded the two high temps and it takes away the crosshairs completely.  I was thinking cd16 was o day, but then I had a low temp again this morning.  Historically, my temps following o are in the 97.3 range.  I'm just not sure what's going on.

I'm still kind of wondering if I have even o'd yet.  Maybe I'll discard the temps and see what happens.

Do you usually ovulate around the same time each month?  I saw last month was CD16.  Is that pretty normal? I know, for me, a CD11 ovulation on a non-medicated cycle would be REALLY early!  Are you feeling well now?  Maybe your wonky temps are leftover from being sick?  So many variables!!  It's so frustrating, isn't it?

suziq1978

From what I can see it looks like I ovulate around cd 16/17.  So the cd16 this month would make more sense to me, cd16 was actually ff's initial prediction for my o date.  I am still a bit congested so my sustained higher temps could be from lingering illness.

My body is so confusing.

I agree. I think you may have ovulated on cd 16. I would just keep bding because i think it will become a lot more clear in a couple days.

Also, I'm wondering if being sick delays ovulation. I was sick over the weekend (just a little cold) but every kid in my school is sick so I'm probably fighting hard against all those dang germs, and I am showing very few signs of ovulation and today is cd13, which is kind of weird for me. So I wonder if it is delayed for you?

Do you use opks or anything?

Here's my chart.

@Dwmmwd - I have read that being sick can delay ovulation.  Looking at your chart, if your temps stay up for the next couple days you'll probably get your crosshairs.  I would guess that you o'd on cd12.

@suziq1978‌ you think CD 12? Really? I mean monitor was giving me low and opk negative. Did an opk this afternoon and even though machine said negative i could see the line getting darker than it's been the past couple days. Hmm. Guess I'll have to wait and see but we may have missed the window then.

suziq1978

@Dwmmwd  i see you got your crosshairs.  ff finally took mine away so i'm waiting to o again.  hopefully it'll happen soon

gfgrump

@suziq1978 yeah, it seems like we're both having wonky months. Yes, got my CH but I'm not happy about it bc we barely hit that window. boo.  Also don't know if I trust them bc my temps were weird all week with bad sleep patterns.  I'm going to keep going about it like I haven't O'd just in case. Because that's happened to me in past months where ff moves it around, so until I"m sure, going to keep going. blurg. bodies are so annoying aren't they?

suziq1978

@Dwmmwd - did you ever confirm o?  It looks like I finally o'd on cd20.  I still don't know if I trust my temps this month because they were all over the place and usually I have a definite biphasic pattern.  Hmm, we'll see what happens.
