Hi, experts. When did I ovulate?

[scarletjane]

It's ok to obsess in here, right? If you don't want to hear me obsess and over-analyze, the please stop reading now.

my chart

I am used to the FAM method, which says that the definition of a thermal shift is when it rises (i think it's 2/10 of a degree) above all the other follicular phase temps. So I was surprised to see that FF gave me crosshairs on CD15.

I know that "ovulation pain" isn't a reliable sign, but I felt pretty intense bloating and uterine pain on CD 16. I would have guessed 16 or maybe even 17 (based on temps) for the ov day.

Anyone know what FF's method is? Are they picking CD 15 just because there was such a big temp rise on CD16 (even though it didn't trump the other temps, it was big because of how far it had to jump?)

I'd love some thoughts! thanks guys.

When did your CM dry up?

Also, if you change your ovulation setting to fam, what does it say? I'm assuming yours i on Advanced which is the default?

You might to try to make sure you fill in the CM every day, even with a "-" if there isn't any so you know you just didn't forget to fill it in.

My chart, I have it set to fertility awareness, and my O this cycle was CD14 (although I think maybe cd15) but then I set it to advanced, it put it at cd20. So take what FF has to say with a grain of salt and don't be afraid to play with the setting or override.

I think it was on CD15. Just my opinion and I by all means am not an expert.

Well according to FAM and assuming the next two temps are high as well cd17 would be O day. FF tends to like temp dips, so if you have a big dip that rises into temps that have a rising trend they'll go with the dip.

Honestly, it could be anywhere from cd15 - 17! I think after a few more higher temps though its safe to say you've O'd

I say evening of CD16 or morning of CD17 - combined with the temp jump the next day, and CM dryup and crampiness/bloating on CD16, I think that is your day.
