New and chart help

Mrs.DeRuysscher

I can't remember if I have introduced myself do I will reintroduce.  Also not sure if this is the right spot for help on my chart if not I'm very sorry.


My name is shanah I'll be turning 25 in a couple weeks, I'm married and we have one little girl who is 2. I am a stay at home mom right now as we just moved in may for my husbands job. We are from northern ontario,Canada.
 We have started trying for our second child and had a miscarriage on September 7th. After the bleeding stopped I started to temp. This is my first time temping. Usually I just chart my period ( I have done that for years as it drove me nuts not knowing roughly to expect it).

My question with temping is I'm so confused fees I put in this mornings temp and fertility friend gave me a message saying my patterns changed and they can't see it ovulated? I swear I have ovulated I had my ewcm/watery and my slight cramping I normally get around ovulation. I haven't started opks but am looking into them. Here is my chart yesterday's and today's and the message if anyone can help me interpret it that would be great thank you.

There is one day missing of temp as my daughter woke up at 5:45 and didn't go back to sleep.

@Sgreen19 So sorry for your loss. How far along were you? It's not unusual for your body to do abnormal things after MC and it's not ununusual to have an annovulatory cycle after a MC, though I agree that temp spike does look like you ovulated. Did you try entering a temp for CD 22 to see if that changes things? I usually just enter a temp similar to the one before if after if I miss a day. Also, you have a lot of open circles. Are those because you temped at different times? I set my FF to post my temp the same time every day- even if I'm temping at different times.

@chloe97

I was 5 weeks with the miscarriage, everything miscarried normal no needing of d/c or medication and the doctor said we didn't need to wait but my period could take from 3-6 weeks to come back.

If I put a temp in then it puts the ovulation in. Yes I usually temp when I wake up between7-8

That's great! It sounds like all you needed was that missing temp. Glad to hear it worked out.

@sgreen19 I agree that it looks like you ovulated the day of the missing temp. FF constantly updates based on the data you put in, which is nice. I tried Ovia for a while, until I realized it does NOT take your temps into account when calculating O. FF has been the best for me because it's data driven. That means that sometimes though, it will be uncertain. Temping is like looking for the forest through the trees. Any individual temp doesn't matter so much as the overall pattern. I bet that in a few days of higher temps, FF will give your crosshairs back and confirm O, whether or not you put in a fake temp for that day. CM and OPKs are better for timing sex, and temping is better for confirming O so you know when to test. Good luck!

Thank you. I have been checking my cm and charting my periods for awhile I usually have O symptoms around the time it estimates I should. I can feel when I ovulate I get cramping near my ovaries. This is my first month temping I know it can take a few more the to get use to a pattern, hopefully I can get some opks in to start doing those next cycle if we don't get pregnant this one. That will be a new challenge to learn lol.

FF did the same thing for me and said I didn't ovulate. I just went by my OPK tests instead of "Advanced" setting. As you can see, FF is clearly not right saying I didn't O. Long story short, sometimes they are super duper wrong because they are data driven, but not taking into account this is your first m/c so the data may be different than your normal historical data. I usually O on day 20 of a 30/31 day cycle.
