BBT help please!

[Littlebee1990]

Hey Everyone!
Third month TTC and decided to track BBT and use OPKS. I’m a little confused and wondered if someone could possibly help me a little? Google is confusing me even more.

I’ve attached my BBT chart and I’ll summarise below to make this an easy read!

BBT graph attached showing CD9-CD15

CB OPK Digital - Static smiley yesterday (CD14) - Empty today (CD15)

FLO APP - Says I will ovulate on CD17!?

CM - I haven’t noticed any EWCM but very rarely do

Anyone able to offer advise or there thoughts here please!? Is the app wrong? Do you think I’ve ovulated already?

If I’ve ovulated on CD13 as the OPK indicates then do you think FLO is wrong to be predict AF on 2nd July? (That means the TWW will be 18 days!)

Sorry for question overload and I really really appreciate any help or thoughts! X

Hey @Littlebee1990 I reckon you'll ovulate today if you got a static yesterday and your temp will shoot up tomorrow to confirm. I wouldn't trust the app on its OV or AF prediction. Do you know how long your luteal phase is? Xx

@littlebee1990 I agree with @VP91x it's likely that you will ovulate today or already have this morn, temp will shoot up tomorrow no doubt, x

Thank you so much for the reply @VP91. Luteal phase is the day after the positive OPK (ovulation) until day 1 of period? If so I only really have last month data as unsure on ovulation precious to this May - pos 16th - AF 31st - so phase would be 15 days.

Does that sound about right? Is there anything I do / don’t want to see on the BBT chart between now and AF?

Sorry for the questions! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 Our messages crossed! Thank you so much.. I definitely feel like “all the gear and no idea” at the moment! X

I would ignore Flo app and go off your BBT and OPK. Apps like Flo take their lead from the data you put in from the other sources.

I think the BBT app says you’ve ovulated as you have had 3 temps higher than the previous 6 (can’t see all 6 earlier ones but I assume that’s the case). That’s the test they apply but yours haven’t gone up by All that much.

Personally I’d be surprised if you ovulated before a static smiley. How long were you using OPK for? Was it empty till CD15? Sadly I think you have to wait and see what temps do over next couple of days. Good luck!

@Littlebee1990 yeah, I would put it as a 13/14 day LP. If you got a pos OPK on 16th, lets say you ovulated on 17th then you'd be 1DPO on the 18th - count from there until AF came.

So this month if you ovulate today AF would be on 28/29th. Does that sound about right for your cycle length? Xx

@NotYetBaby - Thank you, I have no offer data on the chart as my thermometer only arrived the day before and I tested it randomly so it’s inaccurate so what I have on the photo is the only info I have but I’ll keep doing it and see what happens! 😀 Thank you

@VP91x Yeah that’s probably about right, I came off the pill in December and my cycles have varied from 28-42 days and average around 32 days.. if I say AF is due around 29th June that would be a 30 day cycle so I’ll go with that! Thank you so so much!

@Littlebee1990 just make sure you continue to temp roughly at the same time etc I'm sure you will see an upward trend soon!😊 I've become obsessed with BBT charts so interesting! X

You were right ladies! This is my BBT now, is there anything I should look out for in the TWW? Thank you xx

@Littlebee1990 oh fab! You might get a 'dip' around 7dpo. As with everything this could be an implantation dip or just hormones during that time. So don't get worried if you see a dip on a day. If temp keeps getting higher or stays elevated then apparently it is a good sign! If AF is due to come you will see a significant temp drop (almost back to pre ov temps) maybe the day before or of AF. I'm new to temping but all those are all the little bits of info I have picked up xx

@VP91x Thank you so much! Xx
