BBT Chart help

Hi, I would love some help interpreting my BBT chart - looking at this, when do you think I ovulated?
I think I had an LH peak on CD15 which is when my temp dropped to its lowest point
I had some EWCM on CD16
My acupuncturist said she thinks I ov'd on CD15 when my BBT dipped to its lowest point but now my app is saying CD17 when it was mid rise (my app has changed its mind a few times between CD15 and CD17).
Ugh, my body is all over the place. Makes it hard to time DTD.
I've been ttc10 cycles
What do you all think?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Temp wise it looks like CD15 was OD but it's telling you CD17 because you had ewcm on CD16 and temps aren't the only indicator.

I'd recommend fertility friend for temp tracking btw - much easier to interpret and I trust the OD algorithm more than for femometer.

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely try Fertility Friend

Yes FF produces better charts definitely! I would say CD15. But cervical fluid is actually a more accurate indicator of the day of ovulation than BBT so I would say as long as you see fertile cervical fluid you should assume you are still fertile. BBT is v. good for confirming that you have ovulated but less good for pinpointing the day -- some women have the temp rise a bit after ovulation and some actually a bit before.
