Hi I just had a long 56 day cycle and I started temping this month. I’m currently on CD11 and put the temperatures into fertility friend and it thinks I have ovulated already really early! Before last months long cycle my cycles were around 35 days. Could this be right and I have ovulated? So annoying if I have missed it :(

Was your period only 1 day long? Can see on there you've only logged it for 1 day?

Oh no sorry I only downloaded fertility friend to add the bbt data. Period was days 1 to 6. I normally use flo and it says the same thing for estimated ovulation day. Updated attached!

okay, was just wondering if maybe you had implantation bleeding if it was only 1 day long!

From what you've said about your usual cycle length, I'd say it is unlikely you've Ovd and its because your temps dipped so low down during AF (which is common) that FF is picking up predicted Ov so soon as your temps have just gone back up to usual temp.

However, CD8 does look like an OV dip... would be very early though! Have you had any EWCM?

If you keep temping you might find FF readjusts its Ov prediction.

Thing is with BBT charting, it isn't until 3 days after Ov that you find out you have Ovd so you can very well miss your Ov & FW. But it is good to find out your LP length and have a rough idea of when to expect Ov for the following cycle (if your cycles are regular). I BBT chart so I know when I've entered the TWW and so when to expect AF as my cycles are so irregular.

Keep DTD every 2 - 3 days and you shouldn't miss the FW if you haven't Ovd already.

It is your first cycle charting too, always best to not expect too much out of the first attempt as you've nothing to compare to. Once you have a cycle or 2 charted you'll be able to compare and see patterns a bit easier.

Thanks Twittle. I have had watery ewcm and cramps so I thought maybe it was coming early but I hadn’t done any opks as I thought it was just too early! I will continue temping as you suggest and I guess if it turns out I have ovulated really early I will just need to expect the unexpected next month! I’m thinking as I had a really long cycle last month maybe by body is having a short one this month to balance out if that makes any sense? Hopefully will get back into a regular pattern next month if not this month! Thanks for your reply :)
