Hello ladies!
I had been 'not not' trying for five months and last month started LH & BBT tracking properly. Month seven ttc conceive this month - by LH peak was on Sunday (so ovulation predicted Monday) but didn't get a BBT rise until today. Now my BBT has risen today my app has changed to say that ovulation was on Saturday? That can't be right can it? Any advice very much welcome - from a lady that is now somewhere in there 2ww thinking they probably missed a good couple of days of ovulation window Confused!

If your temperature rose today then your ovulation will have been yesterday. Do you have a chart to attach? The algorithms can be pretty bad on some of the apps so depends which one you're using? I find Fertility Friend is by far the most reliable and viewer friendly (ie with femometer for example I find it SO hard to see a pattern cause their y axis has rubbish intervals).

Hi @Juno231!
Thanks for coming back... I am actually using femometer at the mo so maybe i need to look as another app! I've attached my BBT and my LH results from this month! Thank you for your help!

Hm yes per the pics I'd say yesterday was ovulation (obv to be confirmed with another two temps). It ties in with your peak LH as well. Did you catch it well DTD wise if it was yesterday?

I'd say femometer gets the date wrong for me nearly every cycle whereas I've been using FF concurrently since June and find it's been completely reliable for me so far. If you check CM then def log that too as FF takes it into account.

@Juno231 - if it was yesterday then yes I think we timed DTD well! Hopefully!

So a couple more days of high temp on BBT will confirm ovulation yesterday? I'm new to BBT (this month) and only second time tracking LH so I apologise for all the questions!

@BrownF89 ask away! But essentially the general rule is that ovulation is confirmed when you have three temps of a sustained higher temperature than your previous six temps. It aligns nicely to your peak on Sunday as well as that would tell you ovulation was about to happen between 12-36 hours later :)
