FF not perfect!?!?

Hi everyone!

I just thought I'd post my chart since I think it's interesting. (well, of course it's always interesting to me, but thought it might be to others too.) Anyway...

FF says that I O'd on CD11 because it was the bottom of a temp rise that ended up going above CL. I know based on my other fertility signs that I O'd on CD 13 in the morning. I was paying close attention because DH and I tried an experiment this month of only BDing right before O (we're not sure about the results of his sperm test).

Anywho, if I'm not mistaken, TCOYF says the "peak day" is the day the temp rises .2 degrees above the highest of the previous 6 temps. This would put my O at exactly CD13 which is what I think it should be.

Just thought this was interesting and a good reminder that we should all be paying attention to all fertility signs and not just rely on FF's computer to tell us when we O. If I didn't know my true O date I might think I was 2 days late (if I'm not pg) rather than right on schedule.

Hope this helps anyone who is having trouble making sense of their O date according to FF.

Have a great day.

I AGREE! I think you should go with your intuition... and just to show you how unperfect FF is... take a look at my chart: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/jennie

I think you'll see right away that FF was not right this month!!!

Jennie,

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Now, about FF. Yeah, there's nothing better than just knowing your body. Your chart looks totally wacky unless you take out the high temp on CD16. Without that temp your O date is clearly CD20 or 21.

I'm so happy for you. I hope this is a good sign that FF messed up my O date! Hope I get my BFP too!!!

A Happy & Healthy 9 months (and beyond!) to you!!

WHAT?!?!?!?!?! FF is WRONG??????? OMG! ROFL! Heehee! Definitely go with the signs, Katie! I have over-ridden FF on a number of occasions- remember it's just a program, but there is an override option- it is well used here!LOL!

GL to you and I hope you caught it!

(((((((HUGS)))))))))))
