WTF Fertility Friend?

[thatgirl2478]

OPK went positive on Sunday, saw a temp rise on Monday and then again today, BUT fertility friend put cross hairs on Saturday.

WTF

FWIW, I usually get 2 days of + OPKs. I couldn't test on Sat, but Sun was + and Mon was -. Thankfully there was lots of boinking on Sun ;D, but who knows when I REALLY O'd...

I can try that and see what happens....

Just messed around with it a bit. + OPK on Sat does nothing to my chart except make my dashed crosshairs turn solid. High temp on Wed does change my O date to Sun (which makes SO much more sense). So, I guess we'll see what happens over the next few days. Somehow this makes the 2WW even WORSE (if that's possible - this is cycle 10 for us).

There is a way to change your settings to use a +OPK as the only factor for detecting ovulation.

However, if you got a +OPK, and confirmed ovulation with temps, and BD'd enough in your fertile window, it doesn't really matter what FF says:-) You got the maximum benefit out of temping, so whether your O'd on Saturday or Sunday is kind of irrelevant.

Agreed - if we had a normal month it wouldn't matter. But DH is recovering from Hernia surgery so boinking was out of the question for us for a while (first it hurt him to even THINK about an erection, then the actual erection hurt, then the act of ejaculation hurt and it wasn't until Sun that ALL 3 could work in unison without hurting enough to end the show).

I get that. Our first two months trying H was recovering from knee surgery, and had limited...ahem...mobility.

My point is that even if you O'd on Sunday, your fertile window is over, and you either caught it or you didn't (so you're either going to get pregnant or you're not). Nothing FF says at this point will change the outcome of this cycle.
