Partial chart, confused about when I ovulated
posted by sgsp

Description:
This is my first month charting, our 3rd month TTC. I had a positive opk on CD 12 (evening) and CD 13 (morning), then a negative on CD 14 (morning. And the computer is saying I ovulated on CD 14, but the thermal shift is so small. I had another, more obvious spike a couple days later, but it was on 4 hours of sleep and I had a couple cocktails the night before (don't normally drink at all) so I have marked it as disturbed. Any thoughts?

I'd say you probably when the app said it did and I'd keep the temp as normal despite cocktails.  It usually won't make a spike that high and it matches up better w/the opk's.

I think maybe CD16 with a fall back.  Matches with CM and temps.  GL!

You're using OPKs in the calculations.  The software will by default give you an egg the day after the last positive.  It's best to set the chart to temps and FAM only, excluding all else.

Thanks for the tip. I changed that setting and it moved my ovulation to CD 16.  Why are the first 3 temps over the coverline pink? What does that mean? Thank you all for the help! This is daunting as a beginner.

pink dots just mean 3 consecutive days with temps above the coverine which confirms O.  it is daunting-no doubt.  GL!!!
