Charting Ovulation Question
So this month I have been religiously charting. According to Fertility friend I ovulated on CD11 (11/5) and according to the ovulation calendar on babycenter.com, i will ovulate Today???? That is almost 1 week later!!!
Who should I believe???
I am guessing Fertility Friend bc it's more accurate being that its based on MY temps.

Re: Charting Ovulation Question
Are you basing it solely on temps? If not, what are the other factors you are putting in your chart?
CM?
CP?
OPK's?
If you input any of the above on one chart and not on another, it can have a huge impact on the results.

Re: Charting Ovulation Question
Don't base O on a calendar or ff. You need....to have someone who understands charting, help you out sometimes. You can post the chart and maybe we can look it over :) Or if you can go on the chat in fertility friend.....all the girls there will look it over and help you out :)

Re: Charting Ovulation Question
can you also post the one from babycenter?
I would like to see if I can compare the two.
So far I am a little confused about your CM.

Re: Charting Ovulation Question
I didnt use a chart on babycenter...
It was just one of those ovulation calculators.
Yeah, FF also said the CM was not matching with the ovulation day.
Am I supposed to be monitoring the CM throughout the day? or just in the AM? I have been literally taking my temp, then checking CM, then entering the info on the computer. This has been my morning routine.
I think next month Im going to buy some OPKs so I have a better idea.
Everyone seems to have good things to say about the Answr OPK's. Im going to look for the pack of 20.

OOh sorry about that I misunderstood.
You are only supposed to check CM once per day and it is recommended that you check at hte same time each day.
Charting is hard in the begining, I know I messed up my first three charts.
I think its great that you are going to get OPK's next month...it will help to take a lot of the guess work out of things!

Re: Charting Ovulation Question
Thanks Deb! 
Do you think it's better to check CM in the morning, afternoon or evening?

I don't think that it matters...I believe the key is to do it consistantly but will have to refer to my TCOYF book when I get it back.

Re: Charting Ovulation Question
I believe your O date, is cd 11 or cd 13. (it's really between those two dates). Fertility friend has you down for cd 13. Great Bd timing :) Lots of baby dust !!!!
