I'm wondering if any of you can weigh in, based on your experience (or just opinion). I know you can't KNOW, but I'm confused. Due to some family craziness in the last week, I've been a little off on tracking. I started using the OPKs on day 12 (I usually start on day 10), It's day 15 now and FF says I'm in the middle of my fertile week. I've gotten 4 days of empty circles. Which is fine, but I'm mildly concerned that I may have waited too long to start testing and the monitor won't pick up my peak? My CM is... abundant today, but I still am getting the "low fertility" empty circle. Do you think I've screwed this cycle up? If I've waited too long, will I just not see my peak (keep getting empty circles), or is it possible the monitor will show peak when it's not really my peak? I may be overthinking this...
Sorry if this sounds frazzled. It's been a tough couple of weeks and I think I'm hyper-focusing on this because it's something "in my control" (ha!). Thanks for any input!
Honestly trust your body and if you have fertile CM i would trust that the most if everything you haven't been on top of tracking everything els. . This is just based on my short history of charting.
Thanks for your response @KirstenAlecia. I had been temping, but got off track. I did get the flashing smiley today, though, so it seems there was enough baseline and enough shift to pick up my surge. Hurray!
