Getting VERY frustrated with FF!! Chart stalkers wanted.

I started charting so that I would know exactly when I O'd and that I did in fact O. I feel like FF has been off the last two cycles. It gave me CH's early (by 2 days) last cycle leading me to believe that I O'd 2 days after my LH surge.

It gave me CH's on day 15 this cycle and it made perfect sense b/c again, it was two days after LH surge. Then this AM I went to put in my temp and it decided to change my CH to day 13. UGH.

I just feel like I can't trust the site. I have no idea what I'm looking at (I haven't been charting long and am not really good at it). It just seems like everyone can interpret the charts differently. Also, I know I have some open circles but it's just not realistic to NEVER have a morning where you randomly get up earlier that usual.

Now I'm super frustrated and not feeling as confident about out chance for this month. 

Ok - my temper tantrum is over. Stick out tongue

    Calm down now...don't get too frustrated it isn't worth it. FF is very reliable (99% of the time) when it comes to calculating O dates, so you might have something else going on in your body right now. Are you just coming off of BC? If you are it can take your body several cycles to regulate, or you may have another small chemical imbalance that is making your temperatures go all over the place. Stick with it, and if you go another few months and they don't regulate, give your doctor a jingle and take your charts with you. I'm sure everything will even out soon. Stay with it and keep us posted! Good Luck! Wink

    Why is there an open circle on CD 15? Did you temp earlier/later than normal? 

    That may be contributing to the confusion...

    While I agree generally, I have seen FF pin the O date "wrong" based on temps more than 2% of the time.  I think that happens more often when there is some conflicting data, incomplete CM/OPK/ temp data.

    In this case, it looks like FF moved your O date because of the positive OPK.  I don't see a real temp shift until either CD18 or maybe CD15.  I feel your pain, I have had the same kind of see-saw rise in the past.

    I wouldn't give up on FF just yet, but if I were you, I'd also fiddle with the interpretation method - FAM, OPK, research, just to see where they would put the CHs.

    Good luck!

    How long is your cycle normally?? I think your chart looks pretty normal- I would still say there is a possibility that FF will change your date again, maybe to CD 15 again? That looks more of O to me. I have my FF time to temp at 5:30am, and I never temp at exactly 5:30. Sometimes it?s 5:15, but never the same minute each time just because I am a crazy heavy sleeper. I just keep my time the same on FF unless it?s more then 20 minutes outside of my normal time.  That?s probably not suggested, but it works fine for me. HTH!
