Just started charting...

I know you are supposed to wait and start charting on tne first day of your cycle but I figured that I would just start now and get into the habbit of checking every morning when it counts. So, my husband and I have been ttc for about 5 months now with jo luck. Before now I was using an app to calculate when I was ovulating with cm sig s as well. I also started usinh ovulation tests this month as well. I'm really needing some help with charting my temps. I generally have a 28 day cycle with today being cd28. My temp this morning aaz 97.46 which was a slight dip from yesterday at 97.67. Am I out for the month or do I still have a chance that AF will not show?
Re: Just started charting...
Please switch over to FF. They have much better tools (one person posted her chart and her app showed no O, we asked her to input to FF, and FF showed clear O patterns). However, it's hard to tell what your pre-O temps are since you start mid-cycle. You temp would drop below your coverline back to pre-O temps in anticipation of AF. In other words, it would drop to below your average temps pre-O (but we don't your pre-O temps). That drop today is pretty much the exact same as the temps in the past few days. You can search other charts on FF and see what kinda of drop I am referring to.
Also, are temping at the same time everyday? You have a pretty decent spike from one day to the other. FF would show an open circle to denote a difference in the time you took the temp. That would alert you an change in the variables that would explain a wonky looking temp.
You can also input CM and OPKs data into FF. It's hard to interpret without secondary fertility signs on the chart (ie the OPKS and CM). When did you get positive OPKs and fertile CM?
They have some great tutorials that can teach you more about temping and interpreting your charts, and how to use the app in general.
Since your temp is still above your cover line, you still have a chance if AF hasn't shown yet. Good luck!!
3/16 - Started infertility testing
4/16 - SA results: borderline low count/morph
8/16 - Ultrasound and HSG: all clear! Prescribed Bromocriptine for elevated Prolactin levels.
9/16 - Prolactin down to normal levels!
IUI #1 - 9/21/16 - Clomid 50mg, Estrace, Ovidrel, Progesterone/Estradiol - 4 follies - BFP! EDD 6/15/17 Team PINK!
I'm going to echo what others are saying- I highly recommend FF. It is a much better app. Also, starting to temp mid-cycle is helpful to get you in the habit, but not really helpful in detecting patterns.
