Silly nitpicky question

[tarheels]

So my best guess (and FF confirms) is that I O'd on Sunday. Today is Wednesday. FF says I'm 4 DPO. Um, well, am I not actually only three days past ovulation? I mean, the words say days past ovulation. But I'm guessing we count O day with the DPO days instead of the days before O?

And yes, this is desperately important. How else will a girl know when to start obsessively POASing?

hmmm, good question! I have no idea. I've been counting the actual days AFTER ovulation. I never counted the day I supposedly ovulated.

I actually noticed this when counting past LP yesterday! FF says it was 12 days but AF came at 11DPO...I don't get it.
I would say that you'd be 3DPO and not 4, but what the hell do I know!

That's weird. My FF always counts the day after O as 1dpo. I agree that it should say you are 3dpo.

Same!

My O day is usually solid green, and 1dpo starts the next day.

I count the day *after* as 1dpo. At that point I stop using FF and just circle O day on my work calendar and start trying to find other stuff to do for 2 weeks so I don't think about it. lol

Figured it out! FF thinks I'm in Europe glauren, check your settings and see if that's what it is for you too.

[glauren]

Is it weird that I lol'd about FF thinking you were in Europe??
My DPOs are right, but FF has been leaving the last day of my cycle off my chart for whatever reason. I don't seem to be in Europe - per FF or IRL, unfortunately!

[Cheesecake]

Wow, so if you're in Europe FF thinks you ovulate a day earlier??? Weird!

LOL, no dear, it affects the time zone, so it was telling me it was 4 DPO - which it was in Europe because they're 12 hours ahead

Ah, okay, so your calendar was a day (or half a day) fast. Got it. I'm blonde though, just so you know...
