Please help reading my chart?

[TinkRose]

Hello! I’ve been TTC for 6 months, this month is my first using BBT but I’ve been using OPKs since cycle 2. I’ve attached my charts from Premom and Flo to see if anyone can help me to figure out what’s going on.
Both Flo and Premom predicted I would ovulate on cycle day 17, but my OPKs were low consistently. However, my temp rose consistently for three days, so on cycle day 20 both apps said I must have ovulated on day 17 - I thought maybe I’d had a very quick surge and missed it with the OPKs even though I tested twice a day.
I kept doing OPKs and BBT even after this just to keep an eye on what happened and yesterday (CD22) got a high reading both morning and evening - I wouldn’t say either were positive based on readings from other months, these have been above 1 and yesterdays was just below. I did another test this morning (CD23) and it’s much lower so Premom has decided yesterday was my peak, putting today as my ovulation day. However, my temp dropped ever so slightly this morning which I didn’t think would happen? And I don’t know whether to trust BBT or OPKs more.
I’ve not had a consistent cycle length for the past 6 months but the past three have started to settle more to be between 29-31 days long.

If anyone with more experience than I do would like to take a look at my charts and let me know what they think, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I’d say from OPKs alone you defo peaked CD22 and ovulation might be day 22/23 could be 24 hopefully your temp might drop more and then return to confirm.
BBT can be very tricky and so much can effect it - I’m not pro but I think to confirm it would go lower on day OF ovulation not the same say of your peak it lowers to confirm, but nothing drastic!?

I don’t think that’ll help. Didn’t want to read and dash, But taking BBT away… I’d say your best baby dancing days this month are CD21/ CD22 / CD 23

I hope you get the result you want xx

Thank you! It’s an absolute minefield…

@TinkRose it is … I’m starting BBT this cycle in about 5 days and I am nervous / excited 🤣
I just figured why not try - it worked for my sister very well.
so fingers crossed for us 🤞🏻

OP, from your Premom screenshot it looks like you’re testing first thing and quite late in the evening. FMU is no good for OPKs. Test early afternoon and at tea time, after as long a hold as you can manage. Some say four hours, I personally can only manage 2.5 hours

Fingers crossed for you!

I know - but I work in a school and I can’t figure out a way to test there during the day so this is the best I can do! 😀

Can I ask why FMU is no good ? Had similar situation myself this month but caught peak by chance

It is hard to sneak off isn’t it? I sometimes struggle to do OPKs at work too.

There is science behind it! Worth looking up to confirm but as far as I know afternoon is when LH is most detectable in urine.

It really isn’t easy!

It's fine to do fmu. I did and got pregnant. This was my first pregnancy. Got peak
