Help interpreting my chart! When did I ov??

Okay, so this is my one and only chart so far, so I don't have anything to compare to. My cycle is on the short side, around 24 days. But so far Fertility Friend hasn't given me the red ovulation line! It thinks I was fertile for the last four days of August, even though that would mean I ovulated on day 10. Only had faint neg lines on my opks so far. Am I even ovulating?? Am still breastfeeding an 18mo. Help! What does it mean?!

I don't think there's enough info to go on as you aren't really tracking cm or cp. so without an obvious temp shift and/or positive opk and/or ewcm it is hard to tell. I'd say you haven't ov yet as no temp shift. Could ovulate later or maybe not yet if still bf?

I think you'd need to do this for the whole cycle in order to see whether ovulation has taken place, at the moment there isn't enough info in your pic to tell.

Based on the limited temps here, we can't tell. It may be, that temp would have risen after this data stops....?

I'd say you haven't ovulated yet or won't. There's no obvious rise.

I have a 25 day cycle and ovulate on day 16-19 (although this cycle my late ovulation might make the cycle longer or hopefully not at all)

However if you ovulate before cd12 it's unlikely the egg is mature enough. And if you ovulate later and have a short luteal phase it's unlikely the egg will have time to implant. I would focus your efforts on trying to lengthen your cycle. What are you doing to help currently?

There's mixed info on day 11; it tends to be day 9 that's more of an issue. I've read one fertility source (a clinic) that says ideally 11-13, others that say after 12.

You need to wait for another 2-3 days to determine if you've ovulated; it looks like it could be that deep dip or the day after.

Thanks all. This is my first time temping after having my first child, so I know it's not a lot to go on. Just that before having a kid my ov dates and temps were so clear, I feel lost now. My cycle is all over the places and wondered if I was missing something which someone else could see.

Data is current up until today, so it may be that my temps now rise and stay up for a bit, indicating that I may have ovulated but missed it on the opks (new to using those). My temp definitely dropped, so...?! But my concern is that .y temp could be shifting but me not ovulate at all due to still breastfeeding - would that even be possible?! Surely if I don't ovulate my temp woulldnt move so much?

When does FF give you the red line, at the end of its charted cycle?

After 3 elevated temperature readings above your cover line. I've attached mine for you to see.

Thanks @Mouse, good to know. Guess I need to wait a few cycles and see how my graphs pan out. Hate the idea that we're trying our best to conceive but I might not even be ovulating/not have a long enough follicular or luteal phase. Agh. Hope my cycle levels out soon.
