Hello Everyone,

Please look at my chart and tell me when you think I O'd.

FF thinks cd16, but don't you think OPK test are fairly reliable? I mean I got a clear positive cd17. In support of FF, my CM wasn't that great yesterday or the day before.

Thank you. Thank you.

Keep in mind that FF is based on software, so it does it by a math calculation. Our bodies can not be reduced to math! So you may very well have ovulated on the 17th, and if that seems more plausible based on the OPK or other signs, you can manually override FF.

Good luck!

I agree with Carolyn, you could have o'd CD17. That is probably what I would pick, but FF is probably using the other signs as well. It is also possible to get a positive OPK after you already O'd , so it could go either way. If you think its 17, I would override.

Best of Luck!

not that I have any wisdom - but I have read in other posts that some people can get a positive OPK right before and right after O, so that is why CP and CM are weighed heavier when determining O.....

well hon, i've actually heard that the OPKs don't always show you O until AFTER you did, so i would agree with FF- it waits for the level to RISE, not appear, for you to get a ++++++++

just my 2 cents

I have found that checking my CP and CM are much more reliable than FF for determining O date. I don't use OPKs, but I can tell when I O based on CP and CM and FF is sometimes right and sometimes wrong.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but all I can say is you know your body best, so if you think you know when you O'd you're probably right.

HTH.
