Not to fudge the results, however! But I can't be the only one who has entered hypothetical temps for the future just to see what would sway FF, only to remove them in the end.
I've been toying around with it and it seems like almost no matter what my temp is tomorrow, it will be giving me solid CH on CD 14... however, if temps don't dip, on Friday it's going to move my CH to CD 16, which my feeble, non-software mind thinks is accurate due to OPKs and possible O twinges at about 2 this morning.
I'm just very intrigued by how FF calculates things. I know some ladies will discard temps and override things, which I hear isn't really recommended. I'm not changing anything about my chart, for better or for worse. I want accuracy. Just... is it common among the obsessive checkers to put in some "what if" scenarios?
Maybe I shouldn't admit that it's fun. ha. Getting excited about charting is probably a sign that one desperately needs a hobby
Re: Probably a weird idea, but anyone ever "play" with FF?
BFP 1/18/11, EDD 10/1/11. Born at 37w5d on 9/15/11.
***BFP Chart***
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.
I play around with it when I am getting close to O date and after I've gotten an elevated temp to see if a few more days of high temps will give me CHs.
My first full month temping I discarded two temps due to travel which gave me the wrong O date (CD 8), causing me to go 18 days thinking I was in the 2WW, before undiscarding the temps and letting FF move my O date to the correct CD 16. It sucked. I will be super careful before discarding temps. I now trust FF wholeheartedly LOL.
April 2011: Metformin 1500mg + Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel + Prometrium = BFP!

At 40w6d, our Team Green surprise came by unplanned C-section and changed our lives forever!
I play with FF all the time! I often enter a couple of fake temps to see when it will give me crosshairs (and then take them out, of course!).
This morning, I entered fake temps to see if FF would consider my chart "possibly triphasic" if my temp stays where it was this morning for the next few days - it would!
Cautiously expecting our second little petri dish baby - stick, Baby, stick!
phew! So glad I'm not weird... or maybe I'm just not the only weird one, whatever works!
I just had a hunch that I'd get CH tomorrow morning but I personally doubt it, so I wanted to see what FF would do. I was way off on temp time for the past 3 days so I'm not sure how reliable they are. To get a -OPK on CD 13, +OPK on CD 14 and 15, but to have O'd on CD 14 just seems odd to me. Looks like it'll seem odd to FF, too, if my temps are good until Friday.
Makes my 2ww a little further away, but it we would have then had perfect timing, I think. Glad I got the VIP membership because it gives me a lot of little things to mess with and look at.

I put in fake temps all the time to see what FF says.
