Trying to Get Pregnant

Interesting... re:FF

I haven't been charting for the past two cycles b/c we're supposed to be taking a break from TTC until I loose some more weight. BUT DH and I have been at it like high schoolers this week (sorry if TMI) and knowing that I historically O 9 days after the end of AF, I figured I would PIAC and take an OPK test for sh!ts and giggles and see based on when we've been having sex, what our chances are of getting KU this cycle.

So I entered my + OPK for yesterday, and FF put my O date as today. But based on my history I usually DO O on the day I get a + OPK. So I changed O date to today.

What's interesting to me, is we had sex on Tues and today, but not yesterday. When FF thought today was my O date, it said our chances of getting KU were good. When I changed my O date to yesterday, it now says our chances of getting KU are high.

I find it interesting that having sex the day before and the day after O, according to FF, gives you better chance of getting KU than having sex ON O day.

Just thought I would throw that out there :-P

  • This is just my opinion but it sounds to me like your tampering with your chart a lot.  When you do that, FF isn't as accurate.  It's just going off of what you think rather than what's really going on.  I could be wrong, just my opinion.

  • I've never even seen "high" only good. Nice to know it actually exists!

  • I knew that about sex before O, but never knew that about AFTER.

    You're probably right, I am tampering with my chart, but I wasn't even really charting this cycle... as I said, we were supposed to be taking a break from TTC for now. It was more of a "let's just see" thing. The point of my story was more that I found it interesting that FF would give you a higher chance of conceiving when you have sex the day before and after O, rather than the day OF O. I am sure it would have kept the rating the same whether FF said I O'd yesterday or I changed it myself.

  • I've always heard that having sex the day before O is optimal, rather than the day of.  I don't think they upped your chances of being pregnant because you had sex after O though, I think it's only because of the day before O data and you just happened to also have sex the day after.

  •  Here is my Intercourse Timing Analyzer. My High was sex 3 times within 3 days of O (11/1/10). Sex 3 times with once being after O was still just Good (12/30/10).

  • That is true.

    but having good is also not that bad. My first pregnancy, it was GOOD and we conceived.
