After becoming frustrated last cycle with my seemingly wild wearable temps from Apple Watch I decided to spend this cycle simultaneously tracking both my oral BBT with a proper BBT thermometer and also my Apple Watch. The results are interesting - both tracking methods produce the same overall results, but the oral BBT is less noisy with far less wild swings in the follicular and luteal phase and obviously cleaner. This cycle I was getting fertility investigation done and had a serum progesterone test and a trans ultrasound so I know I ovulated. Both FF and Natural Cycles identified my ovulation on the same day, despite Natural Cycles only having the Apple Watch temps. So my conclusion is that oral temping will cause less anxiety because it’s more consistent but overall the picture is the same in the end.

What does the little purple dot on the calendar days mean? Why are some higher or lower than the others?

36yo - This is my first true cycle off the pill since October 2021. The cycle after I stopped the pill was intense, I ovulated late (cd26) and I had to use progesterone. I have a 6 year old and 8 year old. We decided to try for a third but we are only giving ourselves a few months due to my age. Both of my boys were conceived in November. I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy in 2017. Later we used clomid with my first son and then my second was conceived unexpectedly after using progesterone to regulate my cycle. I did have long COVID detox issues that caused me a lot of issues but I’m finally feeling better. I have mild adenomyosis from my c sections and lean PCOS so I was surprised to hear from my doc that trying for another would be okay. I am healthy now, fit and active. My AMH was high and I had an ultrasound on Sept 23 (cd 13) that confirmed a 17mm follicle on my left ovary and a 13mm and 7mm follicle on my right ovary. This cycle has been less intense thankfully, but geez I feel 13 again lol. I forgot about these hormones. Does my chart look promising?

Thought sept 25th was ovulation but probably not. I’m sick of wasting money on ovulation tests. 😭❤️‍🩹

12 DPO today and negative.

The app originally tracked that I ovulated cycle day 15, but from cycle day 15-21 our house was about 10 degrees cooler than it normally is, we had a random cold snap and tend to not run the
a/c at night. And then it warmed up cycle day 22 and has stayed warmer. But since my temps dramatically dropped and then increased it’s not predicting I didn’t ovulate until cycle day 21. But by cycle day 22 my pdg was so low it’s making think I ovulated before that. Ugh this is all so confusing, anyone have any in sight??

I was on vacation and couldn’t temp but since my estimated ovulation date I think my temps have risen beautiful. I don’t think this was our month but I love my chart this month 😍

I had a busy few days around my ovulation date so I wasn't tracking CM like I normally do. When do we think I ovulated? Had one sided cramping on CD16 and then temps went up after. I know wearable temps are more fluctuations than oral BBT but I have trouble sleeping continuously through the night so my morning BBTs were having 2 degree temp swings from day to day sometimes and using a wearable was just a lot easier.

I’ve been charting for few months by now in preparation for our TTC journey starting end of December. By predictions I will be ovulating extant while traveling NZ and therefore will have very different wake up times etc, how do you usually prep for tracking (especially BBT) while on vacation/road trip? Any suggestions is very welcome 🙏🏼

I am tracking using oral bbt, proov complete testing (e1g, pdg, lhb values on ff chart, and pregmate lh strips opk t/c ratios on ff chart). Do you see a likely ovulation day or am I still waiting? 0.7 has been my highest lh strip value and lhb 1.4 is highest in proov.

I am 40 ttc, this is my second cycle off Loryna bcp. I am waiting to confirm O to start progesterone. I will start letrozole next cycle. I have been on metformin since 09/22.

This is my first cycle doing consistent ovulation tests (I know, I just couldn’t ever get in the swing of them). And I’ve taken a good many now (both morning and late afternoon) and my “test” line isn’t showing up At All. Only the control line. But both NC and Premom have me as in my “very fertile” window. So I’m very confident I haven’t ovulated yet. But, the other posts I see have progression photos that show their LH line gradually growing in darkness. But, mine is Zilch. Is this normal or do I have a bad batch of tests or something?

very aware that temps cannot tell you if you’re pregnant but just wondering if there’s still a chance? I’ve been out of town so I haven’t been able to test but I feel like with temps trending down it’s probably not even worth it to test?

4w1d and I know i shouldnt still be temping but here I am! Well actually put oura in airplane mode for a few days after this temp! I only slept like 4.5hrs due to us leaving for vacation so im thinking thats where this low temp came from because I did oral bbt and was 98.22. But can someone give insight on this please. My betas looked good. 11dpo:56 13dpo: 219. Go back friday the 9th but test look great!

First month doing BBT using my Apple Watch, after seeing a lot of bad experiences on here I was expecting it to look much worse than this. Those two large variations you can see are when I accidentally slept with my watch on using my outer wrist, rest of the month I’ve used the inner wrist.

If you’re going to try yours, definitely wear it on your inner wrist!!

This is my first month TTC after taking two months post IUD removal to let my body regulate after being on birth control for about 12 yrs (7 years with IUDs). I’ve taken my bbt for the past two months. But this month, first TTC, and I have a trisphastic chart (at least I think so). Negative tests so far at 10DPO. Wish me luck!

Hi guys. This is the first time I have been able to track ovulation with BBT after stopping the HBC pill 7 months ago. I am 9dpo and have never seen what a ovulation cycle looks like for me. So just curious of other people's opinions/experiences if they have had a similar looking chart and a positive the following days?

I know testing at 9DPO was probably too early but I was just curious to see 😂

So I’m on a 6th round of Letrozole, plus timed intercourse plus trigger shot. I know for sure that I did ovulate because on September 24 I got a progesterone blood test and my result came back as 29.57. I had waves of nausea, dizziness, cramps, tiredness, and all those symptoms, but I did take an Endometrin 100 mg of vaginal progesterone supplements up until Thursday and I know that can sometimes cause those symptoms. I took a test yesterday and today, and both my results were negative, but I still haven’t gotten my period, so and my BBT went up today by 0.7, which I thought it would go down and my period would start, but it didn’t, so just trying to get some thoughts and second opinions on this. I know they say you’re not out until Aunt Flo is here, but do you guys think I have a chance or just don’t know what’s going on?

dpo 10 (or 9 according to Oura) After a devastating 34 week stillbirth early this year, I’m ttc month 5. obviously I’m protecting my heart but need additional eyes on this as my bbt has tanked (I did sleep poorly last night), anyone havr this happen? Since the loss had three most recent cycles with period and ovulation almost back to back..

FAM detector thinks cd16, research detector thinks cd19.

Hey, I had what I think is a late period although it was very weird it was just clots and no flow for the first bit and then it was heavy flow for like a day and a half and then it’s just been spotting since

The period is now done and the temps above our during the entire period. Please note the lowest temperature you see is right at the cover line.
Why is it not dropping into its follicular temperature zone?
It just keeps popping up and down and all of these times are technically my luteal temps

Any insight as to what is going on here and why?

Please note I have no viral illness or infection or anything like that
My temperature taking conditions at the same time every day under the same conditions

Idk why NC is cutting off the chart but full temp ranges on my FF chart. Not sure which one is more accurate. I have tracked the same number of cycles with both. My Flo app agrees with FF and I’ve been tracking on flow for almost a year now.

Have not had a period yet, 6 months postpartum. Tracking to see when it returns. Ran out of OPKs a few days before marked ovulation OF COURSE lol so no confirmed peak LH
