Oh Tasha keeping everything x for you 
hi all well still no ov for me so its def not happening this month i just want AF to come now so i can start a new and hopefully a better cycle 
tasha temps still looking really good hun everything crossed that af stays away for you xxxxxxxxx
will check on everyone else later xxxxxx
to scones Tasha, that drop's barely noticeable - still looking good. Only thing is that I think you may have the coverline a bit too low. If that was my chart, I'd be placing it at 36.6 or maybe 36.55. At the moment, only 1 in 10 of the temps immediately preceding ovulation is actually BELOW the coverline, which kind of destroys the point of it! Depending on which method you use, the coverline should sit just above the last six temps, or be an eye-average of the last ten temps (and there are a few variations on this too, but they involve a calculator...). Obviously your temp is still well above a revised coverline, but I think it would help you see the difference between pre-ov and post-ov temps more clearly - and then you would see that your current temp is definitely still post-ov! HTH!
Hi All,
I'm back after three weeks of no internet accress Well lots of promising stuff happened, but today AF is here! (even though its late).
I'm gutted and feel like its back to square one again - going to re-read the "how to increase fertility" posts.
why is at that everywhere you look there are baby clothes, babies being born, women not wanting babies...so depressing...
Anyone back on track with me this month! Today is Day 1 for me.
Satch xx

Thank you, i see what you mean now, looking at it, it looks like I could of ov'd on day 19 and not 18? Im confussed, I had a very sharp pain on my ovary on day 17, so im not sure anymore
Hmm so I could actualy only be 11 dpo
Thanks for that, yes I can see now.i
Scones I am sorry the witch got you
That coverline looks better! And now you can see realistically that your temp is definitely still well above it, and that the temp on CD8 was an anomaly.
It's possible that you're only 11dpo, not 12 - just something to bear in mind if you test. The CM suggests you're 12dpo, but that can be difficult to interpret - especially if you BD'ed...
The OPKs would suggest ovulation was probably on either CD17 or 18, but again, it depends on timing of OPKs and your own hormone levels; +OPKS usually mean ovulation is around 24-36 hours away, but the gap can be 12 hours or 48 and still be normal. It depends on how much LH you produce and how long your surge lasts. Again, there's a certain amount of interpretation involved in analysing OPKs.
Usually ovulation day is the day before the rise in temp - and on your chart, the rises on CD18 and 19 are so small that they don't in themselves suggest ovulation, which would point to CD19 as the last day before the rise on CD20, and therefore ov day. However, because they did rise a little, it could be that you are just slow to get going! It's very difficult to tell, and to be honest, it's only over months that you can begin to notice patterns in your own charts. Hopefully, you won't be charting any more months!
satch - to you too. At least you and scones can keep each other company and be cycle buddies for this new cycle!

tasha have you tried taking the lines you put in away and seeing what FF gives you out of interest??? might be different and give you a clearer picture of whats happening

hi satch nice to meet you good luck xxx
scones sorry she got you hun xxx
kitty hun do me a favour will you look at my chart and tell me what you think
when charting before i always ovd day 10 except the month i got my bfp which i ovd day 14
im now on day 17 cm is now non existent after having quite a lot of ewcm earlier in the cycle
i have also not been off the pill for long would you think im not going to ovulate this month as cycles are not back to normal yet or do you think it could be delayed
i know you cant be sure just wondering what you would think in my position please hun xxxxxxx
hope everyone else is ok xxxxxx

It hasnt given me anything
done it
I feel like a prat! It hadn't occurred to me that Tasha hadn't checked the FF methods, I assumed that for whatever reason they hadn't detected ov! I was actually going to suggest discarding that anomalous CD8 high temp to see if that made a difference...
But Tasha - you've still got manual override on, that's why the lines are blue. If you go back into detection method, I think that in order to get rid of manual override, you have to actually clear the data from the coverline/day boxes and then select the method - it's a bit annoying like that. Then you should see red lines. Though if you can't be arsed, the colour of the lines doesn't make any difference
Though I am feeling rather proud of myself for suggesting 36.6 as the coverline! 8)
Rach - I looked at your chart, and I don't think you've ovulated yet. However, don't give up on this month - you wouldn't be ridiculously late if you did ov in the next week or so. If you follow the link in your sig to your homepage, you get the option to view the chart in celsius - I think it's a lot easier to see what's going on in celsius than fahrenheit. It's perfectly normal to have a patch of fertile CM then nothing, then another patch later on. If you've recently come off the BCP, it's very likely ov is delayed - my cycles after coming off the pill were around 60 days long, then 50, then 40. But I had been on it for 9 years or so, so I expected it to take a little while to settle down, and for the cycles to be very long - especially as I often ran 2 or 3 packs of pills together. HTH.
Morning All,
My body seems to be doing funny things this cycle. I'm due to AF today. But don't feel bloated, boobie hurt or anything else. maybe it's because i'm waiting for AF to arrive that it thought it won't. Or maybe it's because i'm taking my thyroid tablets properly and things have changed.
I didn't really see a great deal of a bbt rise in ovulation, but FF says i've ov'd on the 15th day...It's now started a count down to test...I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't think we timed it well again this month. But time will tel....
