Silly Question about FF

This may be a silly question, but I am new to FF and I am wondering if "COVERLINE" means the day that FF thinks you O, and if so when does this coverline show up?? I am almost positive that i O'd on Friday 09/12, but FF is not indicating anything.??

Any thoughts?

FF will give you a "coverline" and an "o" date when you have three high post "O" temps. The coverline is a set line- usually an average of the pre"o" temps and is basically a reference point for you. The "o" day is the day that FF thinks you "O"d. Remember that this is a program and is not infallible- they are know to sometimes be wrong. It's also one of those garbage in, garbage out situations. Do yo have your chart to post so we can see it?

GL!

Thanks Tara,

Here's my chart:

Now keep in mind, this is the first month I've actually charted, and was using this more or less as a learning experience. Some of the days I completly forgot or couldn't chart and there were a few a different times, so I know my chart isn't 100% accurate, but I've learned a whole lot..lol.

Hi Lynn. This is my first month using FF too. I didn't really agree with what they gave me for coverline or O so I did an override. They set my coverline at 97.1 and O date on cd12. I feel my coverline should be higher and my O date should be cd13. That's why mine will show blue instead of red. They set mine about 3 days post O, I think because I had a definate temp change. I'll post my chart so you can see. I think FF does a really good job, but you have to trust your own body. You know yourself better than any program.

Lynn, I don't know, but I think I may know why FF wont give you a coverline or O date. There's not enough information. You are not showing a temp drop on 9/12 because you didn't chart that day. So, it's not seeing one and therefore doesn't know you have ovulated. It may not give you one because of this. If you are sure you ovulated on Friday 9/12, go ahead and set your O date for that day. I would set your coverline at 98.1. That's just my thoughts.

Well....accuracy is pretty important~ LOL! You are so cute! Hard to say if you "o"d or not- you really have to take the temp at the same time every morn before doing anything at all- the temps vary so quickly if you start moving or anything.

GL to you and glad you're learning!!

Susan/Tara-

Thank you both so much, I don't know what I would do w/out this board, I have learned so much from all of the ladies here...so thank you. I am pretty positive I O'd this last weekend, but if I didn't catch that little eggie this cycle, I VOW to temp everyday next month. One problem I have is that my schedule at work varies so some days of the week I don't get up at the same time which is posing a problem, I've been given some advice about temp adjusting per 1/2 hour difference, so hopefully next months chart will be more accurate.

Thank you ladies soooo much!

Lynn
