Hi hon. 
The chart can't tell you your most fertile time beforehand - you have to figure that out yourself, and the way you do it is by keeping track of your cm (cervical mucous). You can also watch your cervical position if you want to and are able to. When your cm gets more wet and stretchy and your cervical position starts to rise, then you are becoming fertile. Your ovulation day will be the last day of lower temperatures before a sustained jump in temp. If you are pregnant, your temperature will stay high (and continue to get higher). If you are not pregnant, it will drop again right before AF shows up.
Hope that helps!

Why dont you nip over to the chart stalkers thread a have a nose at all our charts. just click on the links under our posts and you will start to get the idea of when FF thinks weve ov'd.
Try to remember to take your temp in the morning before you move anywhere and at the same time if possible, you get the best readings then.

It's annoying isn't it? But looking back on old charts can help you pinpoint on what day of your cycle you ovulate and that, together with CM and other signs, can give you a better idea!
Hope you get on well with it.
