Temp Buddies... Charts...

Thought I would start a new thread for us Temp Buddies to add a link to our charts... The old one was becoming as difficult as searching through conversations to find certain charts

Ei, Fertility Friend usually tells you to wait to test if it doesn't have much info on your luteal phase from past cycles, so I think that's why it's saying you're not due to test till tomorrow. Given that your AF is overdue and ovulation date is pretty clear, I'd say chances are good for you to be PG, but I think it's a fairly common experience to get a late BFP. What kind of tests are you using, and are you using FMU?

The other possibility is: Looks like you may have taken your temp at different times, which can affect FF's ability to tell when you O'd. It may be that you O'd later than FF is currently saying, and you're not as overdue as you think. What time were those temps on CD 13, 14, & 15? You may have O'd as late as CD17, but it's hard to say because there aren't temps for CD16 and 17.

hi sarah thanx for your reply
my times that i have temped only vary by about 30-45 mins so i dont know whether that would make a huge amount of difference or not there are no temps for CD16/17 as i was ill and had a fever for those two days and it affected the chart a huge amount with them on there so i discarded them i am pretty sure that i oved around CD13 as i had EWCM up until CD13 and then it changed to my usual post-ov milky cm (sorry TMI from a newbie alert) and i have this every cycle but it is usually later around cd15/16 that i guessed i was ovulating and my cycles are pretty regular at 28 days for the past 3 cycles so i am rather confused as to what is happening with my body ATM

Hi EI

The difficulty with your chart is that there are only 6/18 reliable temps post O. I think there could be 3 possible explanations for your chart.

  1. you are pg and possibly need to go to the GP's to have bloods done to confirm this Some people just don't get the +ve urine test.
  1. You didn't O on cd 12/13, this is a possibility because of the temps which are discarded (the ones that are white circles). I assume these are temps where you took them at a slightly different time. If your body was becoming sick or stressed it may have been gearing up for O but not actually released the egg. That doesn't really explain why you would have temps above your coverline for the rest of the month. Again the lack of definite temps makes this difficult to decipher.
  1. Your body may have put off O for the month after your illness and be trying to O later in the month hence the negative tests, longer cycle and the continuation of CM, although I note you say this is normal for you.

Could you go have a play with ff and adjust the temps a la Toni Weschler and see what happens.
I think if you took it 1 hour early you add on 0.5 degree and if it was 1 hour later then take off 0.5. See what happens. Then there won't be any disgarded temps and you never know all may be revealed

Good luck and post us the amended chart if you decide to do that.

Fertility Friend also has a temperature corrector function (but it may be only if you're paying?). It's on the side menu under data, last item on the pop-out list. 35 to 40 minutes can make a difference in temp. Ideally you want to be taking it exactly the same time every day. I found that making my time quite early was best, then on weekends just go back to sleep. . .and sometimes during the week too

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 08/04/2008 15:56

sarah76 · 09/04/2008 06:53

I think it does look like you could very well be PG, can you go get a blood test?

tinkerbellbringingsexyback · 11/04/2008 10:13

my first chart temping
[[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1f3edd[[

do you ladies think i ovulated 17th
any other thoughts about chart?

PrePG · 11/04/2008 10:57

Hmmm...tink I can't tell from your chart whether or not you've ovulated. There's no clear and sustained thermal shift as your temps have been falling the past few days. You need to have one temp that's about .2 degrees higher than the previous six and then at least three high temps after that for FF to confirm that you've ovulated. Hope that helps.

No problem. Of course I could be completely wrong so if anyone else has any advice for Tink please weigh in!

beaniesteve · 12/04/2008 12:55

beaniesteve · 13/04/2008 12:41

Lol - I posted it yesterday. Was just about to post mine

My temp has been up then down then up again since ovulation but I am bad at being consistent with my temps.

BF and I wake up at different times (Me first) and it takes me a while to get my arse into gear and realise I am properly awake plus my thermometer beeps ...

Hmmm...accupuncture and alternative medicine girls, please take a look at my chart! Just read that a 'saw-tooth' pattern is NOT good and apparently my kidney yang is out of whack or something... And I was so pleased because my sawtooth is pretty much perfect and even (Virgo anal-ness taking over again!!!!)

PrePg, how are you taking your temp? Orally can sometimes get erratic temps, as if you sleep with your mouth open one day, and not the next, it can affect the temp. Warm the thermometer first before pressing the button - you can never get a reading hotter than you actually are, but if the therm is too cold it can show a lower temp.
