Fertility Friend Settings- input appreciated

buckeyebaby814

So I went to the library today and got "TCOYF" and have been reading about the FAM.  I was just wondering, do you have your FF settings set to FAM, advanced, OPK or monitor?  I changed mine to FAM and it pushed O back one day, which didn't matter because we didn't have sex close enough to O anyway. 

P.S.  If FF predicted my O correctly, I had a 7 LP ... hopefully it's just my body regulating still after my 12/31/10 m/c.

Thank you for any feedback!!

I just started using FF and I have mine set to advanced which is the default and FF recommended setting.  Here's what FF said about each one (It sounds like advanced encompasses a little of each of the other settings anyway, so it is probably the way to go):

The Advanced Detector is our recommended detector and the default for all charts. We recommend that you keep your chart on this setting. This detector takes all your fertility signs into account. It uses the computing power of our servers to actually scan for patterns of ovulation on your charts based on the many patterns that we have encountered through our years of experience. Once it has determined your most likely ovulation day based on all your fertility signs, it then determines a coverline (the horizontal line across your chart) with a reasonable value to show you your biphasic (ovulation) pattern. Our advanced detector simultaneously takes into account all signs and data you enter to determine the best interpretation.
The Research Detector is our cutting edge research detector. This detector includes all new patterns and improvements as we find them. With time and testing, we roll new findings into the advanced detector when appropriate. Since this detector is continuously under construction, it can be unstable. You should use it only if you wish to check for enhancements that are not yet rolled into the advanced detector.
The Fertility Awareness Detector is based on the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) as it is widely published (ovulation is detected after 3 temperatures above the previous 6) with some enhancements. This detector is best suited to those with regular chart patterns who are already familiar with this method.
The OPK/Monitor Detector relies solely on your Ovulation Predictor Kit (OPK) or fertility monitor data to determine ovulation. An OPK gives information only about the presence of Luteneizing Hormone (LH). Although in most cases a positive OPK will indicate imminent ovulation it is not always totally accurate. Similarly the fertility monitor gives you information about your estrogen levels and LH levels. Although more detailed than the OPK it still lacks the confirmation that ovulation actually occured. This detector is designed for women who are not recording their temperature but still would like to have a good estimate of their ovulation day.

I've already read FF explanation of the different settings, I was just wondering what YOU ladies trust or if you see one setting be more successful for others who did get pregnant.

I am set on advanced.  You might want to ask ladies over on 1st Tri about their success because most of us here haven't been pregnant before.

Don't think I am quite ready to lurk over there yet, but thank you for your response

I set mine to Advanced usually.  But sometimes towards the end of my cycles, I'll play around and see where my CHs would go.  You're safe with Advanced - I'd stick to that.

Thank you so much!  I'd rather not see all the first tri posts since I would have been starting my second tri if I had had a m/c, so sweet of you that now I do not have to look at other posts!
