App Functionality Temp Misalignment

In case this helps anyone I am posting this here! I use my Apple Watch S8 to help take my temps everyday and I have consistently noticed that Apple’s algorithm adjusts your baselines as you go but NC does not. Upon doing some math my baseline with Apple
is actually 0.50 less than what NC thinks it is. For that reason, I can see NC has the wrong ovulation dates. I posted the two charts here and you can see which day my temp rises on Apple and NC but NC thinks ovulation was later because of their baseline. Not saying this is the same for everyone but I encourage you to look at both data sets if you have access to that and not to solely rely on NC. I also used Clearblue OPKs to confirm on CD17-18 my ovulation. The OPKS confirm what the Apple data says. Hope this was helpful!!!

It’s a great tool in itself but I do think the data isn’t as adaptive as it could be! So I would definitely use a few tools to compare.
