Trying to Get Pregnant

Chart Stalk / Questions Month of June

This is a thread where anyone can feel free to request a chart stalk, second-guess FF's interpretation, or post TTC-related questions, regardless of where in your cycle you are. Sometimes FF is wrong. That's where we come in. Get your second opinion here!

Re: Chart Stalk / Questions Month of June



  • So my chart is confusing me this cycle. I had all the signs of getting ready to O, but it’s been more than 48 hours since my positive OPK and my EWCM is gone now, but no temp rise lining up with those signs. I know there is a slight rise after CD 9, but all my O signs were after that so it wouldn’t make sense that I O’ed then. Should I start using the OPKs again and hope my body tries to O again soon?
  • Loading the player...
  • Your temp can take several days to spike after ovulation. I think in TCOYF they say that a temp rise indicates ovulation in the previous 5 days, so your shift might still be coming. Couldn’t hurt to take some more OPK though, in case it was a failed attempt. 
  • I wonder is this the acupuncture keeps temps a little low like the first time?

    Also, there's something called the fallback rise in which you'll have the temp jump from ovulation, it goes down the following day, and then back up. So maybe Wednesday was O day?

  • Fallback rise does make sense. I forgot that can happen. Although even if I put in high temps for tomorrow and Sunday, FF still doesn’t give me CH.

    It could be the acupuncture is delaying the temp rise, but my acupuncture treatment was specifically to help increase my temperature so that’d be a problem if it is keeping it low. I suppose it’s also possible acupuncture delayed O.

    Thanks for the insights @maggiemadeit and @inthewoods23 !
  • Just to update in case anyone is interested, it was a fallback rise. Got CH today!


  • What prenatal are y'all taking? I have been taking the SmartyPants prenatal capsules but it looks like they don't make it anymore so I need to go with something else before I run out in a few weeks. Needs to contain folate, not folic acid for me! And reasonably priced too 🙂

  • @inthewoods23 I take the Thorne Basic Prenatal. It has Folate, and is $30 for a 30 day supply. Bonus points that the iron in it doesn’t upset my stomach.
