Hi everyone.
Sorry for the half finished post earlier on, toddler got a hold off my phone.
So, it's my first month TTC2 and looking for some pointers please.
I only tracked my cycle last month which was 31 days so expecting a late ovulation.
I have starting using fermometer app and LH sticks.
My app thinks I ovulated on Tuesday although my LH tests were v low and only just got my peak today. Are LH tests more reliable?
Perhaps my Bbt charting is out because I have been testing between 7-9am.
Thanks for any advice given 😊

It's really hard to see your temp chart as it's uploaded blurry. From what I can see your temps are always hovering around your cover line until just the last one which goes way up in comparison. I think the app is a bit off with its predictions, if I looked at your BBT chart with no LH tests I'd say you ovulated the day before your last temp.
I've attached mine so you can see what it looks like. It thinks ov was CD14 OR CD15 but I think CD15 as I had a negative LH test on CD13 and CD15. Didn't test CD14 typically 😅
Hope this helps!

@Hotmalibu94 sorry I didn’t realise it had uploaded blury!

I had a big dip this morning which was strange, think my temps are all over the place.

Thanks for the advice! That’s really helpful 😊

Glad it’s not just me that thinks my app is off. I’ve been doing my lh strips religiously and didn’t have a high or peak until cd17.
But I was a bit worried incase ovulation did occur on cd14 as we didn’t dtd until day 17. My own fault!

We’ll see what happens 😊
Thanks again!

No worries :) oh yeah now I can see clearly it's a bit confusing. If your lh test was peaking on CD18 you should have a temp increase today 🤔

Make sure you're measuring in exactly the same way every day. Time can be a little bit flexible. I think it's within 2 hours of your usual wake up time. I've attached the measuring guide from my app, it's helped me loads as I deffo wasn't measuring correctly at first. Since then my chart is a lot more stable!

@Hotmalibu94 i was confused by this mornings measurement. I don’t know a lot about them but I thought If it was post ov like the app thinks then my temp would have stayed up?

Now I’m quite sure it’s my measuring. They are varying between 7-9 each day and a couple of days I have spoken first and not kept my mouth shut so I’ll try that 😅 thanks for the tips!

Hopefully it’s the app and I didn’t miss my ovulation completely! I think if it occurred around cd19 I should be covered?

It probably wouldn’t be a bad thing if I didn’t get my Bfp this month, I’m getting married next week and going on honeymoon. Probably a daft decision to ttc this month when I had hg with dd.

What will be will be 😊

I would just trust the lh tests this month and see it as a learning curve for the BBT :)
See my first month BBTing 😂 it was chaotic!

It does look rather chaotic 😂 I’ll have to work on my technique next month if no bfp!

Thank you ☺️ We’re actually just getting married next Tuesday but the following Tuesday 26th we are having a ceremony on the beach in Turkey with our little girl. Should be lovely 🥰

As much as I’d love to be pregnant this cycle (so impatient) it would be a disaster if I was sick after all the planning.
I’m pretty sure I was nauseous from about 5 weeks last time.

First month TTC again so no expectations on this TTC journey! x

Probably CD16 as your peak was CD15
