Ok ladies, help me out!! I just started tracking my temps on FertilityFriend.com I read the newbie link already...I know you always seem to recommend that! Its good but please help me out!
1.I'm using a regular children's digital thermometer orally...is that an ok way to check? I don't want to stick it up any location where it doesn't belong...but not sure if the way I'm doing it is ok?!?
2.Like I said I'm tracking on FertilityFriend.com and it says that my Fertile/Best Conception Chance are on the 7th, 8th, 9th and then 12th and (13th)today. Something isn't right....? Because I shouldn't be skipping the 10th and 11th...I'm so confused!! Please help!!
3.Also this little ticker thing on my page said that I can do a preg test starting today and it came back -. Not sure if I did it to soon or its just a plain -. 
Anyone have any ideas/answers?!?! I'm love to hear them!!

Because I shouldn't be skipping the 10th and 11th...I'm so confused!! Please help!! This confuses me too. No reason I can think of for a hole in your fertile window (FW.) A linked chart would be great.

This really confused me. If your FW was between the 7th and 13th of January, then there is no possible way that an egg would be implanted yet. And therefore no possible way that you could get a positive HPT. The fertility tickers are pretty much junk. Unless you have a cycle that is absolultely always the same number of days every.single.month, and hint - no one does - they don't work. I suggest getting rid of it completely & just using FF. Depending on how long your LP is FF will probably tell you to test between 12DPO and 17DPO.
Great thanks! I've attached my FF chart but for some reason it only shows the last 2 temps. Not sure whats wrong with it. But check it out and let me know what you think!
GL OP! I just started charting myself!
I have a BBT questions as well though. I have the pink Walgreens one, and it does store the temp (I take it at 6am, and then go back to sleep for 30 mins before looking at it) but when it displays the stored temp after I turn it back on, it goes away SO QUICKLY that I'm worried I won't write down the correct temp because it goes back to 98.60 after you turn it back on! Is there a setting I am missing to get it to display the stored temp longer?
Thanks!
ok...so when its low is when AF is coming and when its high is around the time I should O?
Is that correct or what are the ave temps to O's?
Thank you for all your answers, advise and help!
I'm learning!
I don't have the Walgreens one, but the Walmart one also moves quickly from the last temp the default temp. But if you turn if off and then back on right away it will re-show your last temp again. Some mornings I do this two or three times before I catch it! Maybe the Walgreens one will do that too?
