Need Help with FF chart

Hi everyone!!!! Here is my chart currently and Im not sure what I am looking at or how to interpret what the temps mean now ( this is my FIRST chart) can anyone tell me what they observe by looking at this- FF is telling me I 0'd on CD9 ( I had a high temp had wine night before) but I got my surge from OPK on CD12 a surge on CD13 ( both days 2 lines same color, CD 14 was negative( only ref line really showed up very faint test line and then I got a single dark test line on CD15. I guess I O'd b/c of the temps after CD15????? I dont know HELP???????

Re: Need Help with FF chart

I am so sorry but I am in the same place as you!!! I have no IDEA what my chart means! I think it starts to make more sense the second time aorund (I hope). My temps are screwy too....but I would think the OPK was the most accurate..... You will have 14 days of elevated temps - if at day 15 it drops you will probably get af, but if it doesn't.....you may be pg. So until 15 days after O I don't think there is much you can tell.

Re: Need Help with FF chart

Hi Kara!!! thanks, oh ok so like I had a high temp yesterday and then today it dropped a bit so I dont know if I consider that a drop and AF will be coming or is it too soon to tell- what a PIA these charts are!!!!!!! thanks again!!!

Re: Need Help with FF chart

I think it drops below the cover line when AF shows up...like a BIG drop!

Re: Need Help with FF chart

I think your chart looks great! I've been charting for a long time now. If your temp stays up then you can be PG. Usually if you're going to get your AF your temp will start dropping dramatically. Looks great so far, but you have to learn what your luteal phase so then you'll know if you have a chance or not. Luteal phase is the time from when you ovulate until the time you get your period. Usually you get solid red lines when Fertility friend picks up that you ovulated, but you have dotted lines probably because of all the open circles on your chart. You could have what they call an implantation dip also, but it could also mean nothing. Looks great so far!!! I would test in a few days.

Re: Need Help with FF chart

WOW your chart looks fantastic!! The software determined that you ovulated on September 5th. You're temps post-ovulation are WAY abover your coverline of 97.6 which is GREAT!!! You have a dip in temps on September 11th which COULD be implantation dip (when the egg implants into the lining of your uterus). After that date your temps shoot right back up which is another great sign for pregnancy. Today you are 11dpo (11 days past ovulation). YOu could test if you want, or test in the mornng with FMU (first morning urine). I got a BFP on 9dpo!! So it's entirely possibly you couldget a BFP on 12dpo! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Need Help with FF chart

OMG, thanks ladies!!!!! Really I can test now, Im so afraid of getting that HUGE let down but I am curious too. If I get my lazy butt out of the house today I will get a HPT- what??? I dont have them stocked up in my medicine cabinet?????? I DID- all used up!!!!!wow Im actually excited,

Oh yea I was wondering what these solid and open cirlces meant? I think maybe b/c I discarded that HUGE temp after the fact b/c I drank the night before, that is where FF is getting when I O'd . and yes the LH surge is confusing, I started way earlier than I was suppose to b/c I had a feelin I may O earlier than what the OPK says I should start so I was able to see a def change in the lines and color,it was pretty cool!

thanks again!

Go test!!!

About the open circles - are you taking your temp at the same time every morning?

Re: Need Help with FF chart

I think the 15-20 minutes apart is fine. I don't think it should create the open circles. Lets see if anyone else has an explanantion

Re: Need Help with FF chart

I gave myself a 15-20 minutes leeway time early/later. If it was anything longer than that then I created the time difference. I did though note the time I took my temp in the comments section

Re: Need Help with FF chart

Chart looks amazing....it has everything a pregnancy chart could have. A dip, and triphasic temps.

Good luck testing, lots of babydust.

Re: Need Help with FF chart

Any updates??

Re: Need Help with FF chart

Re: Need Help with FF chart

Oh and dummy me forgot to add the time in every morning, I didnt know it mattered to record so I recorded it, maybe thats why I had the open cirlces they are closed now , duh

Re: Need Help with FF chart

If you got a surge on cd12 you need to indicate that in your chart or fertility friend won't take it into account. However, if your Lh increased on cd12, your previous chart was incorrect. Your temps have taken a whole new level so perhaps you didn't read your surge correctly ? Do you have long cycles ?

If you got a definite surge on cd12, based on your chart, you probably O'd cd15. Did you use an opk, cd 13 or cd 14 ?

Re: Need Help with FF chart

I believe you ovulated cd 15 and possibly cd 18 based on your temps, that would make you 7 dpo today or 4dpo. You received a surge cd 12, but your temps did not show a thermal shift. Some women have difficulty using opks. Their LH can surge at different times. Cd 8/9 also looked like possible O days but because you got a positive opk on cd 12, that makes me think cd 8/9 is the most likely not O day. Also if you ovulated cd8/9, your temps weren't anywhere near where they are now. They were quite low. Some women have low pregnancy temps but most have above 97. Who put your coverline at cd 12 ? Fertility Friend ? Your temps are not above the coverline. That wouldn't show an accurate chart. Fertility friend gives you a coverline, when three temps are elevated in a row. However, the software also takes in account your opks and your cm. Sorry this is so confusing :( If you ovulated cd 8/9, your AF would come cd 22/23 if you weren't pregnant. If you ovulated cd 15 or 18, your Af would come about cd 29-32, which matches your usual cycle.

Re: Need Help with FF chart

Hi, FF put that line there. oh great so if I o'd on cd18 I didnt have that day covered with BD- nuts!!!! cd15 I did when I saw that surge we BD'ed. oh well I will wait and see if AF comes, thank you sooooooooo much. It really is very confusing.
