FF 110%.

I use both and have found them to be fairly consistent but I chart temps and fertility monitor and that's all. If your aren't temping I would strongly recommend it as it is really the only sure way to know if/when you ovulated.

i am temping Bridget rose :-) but this is my first cycle temping. i test with C not F and convert for here. my temp went up from 35.7 average to 36.37 this morning. but has made 3 inclines to get to that so the last 3 days its gone up to that temp this morning if that makes sense? ctp has possible ovulation at cd 11 but nothing conclusive yet but ff had concluded i ovulated on cd 10. that's when i got my positive opk in the morning. its hard though because i had an injection to shut down all hormone functions and ovaries on cd 3 but can take time to work. the injection is for pre op and diagnosis. so i thought id keep charting as is unsafe to fall pregnant on it. and i am unable to use any other contraception at all.

I test in c too and convert to f for this site. I wish I could see your chart - I've been charting since July so feel fairly comfortable with reading them....

I agree with FF. Cdtp automatically puts ur O day to the day after ur pos opk...add more and watch the line move. U can look at my chart also, I had 3 pos opk's but added 3 more to show u how far the line moves from when u actually O. My cm, monitor and cervix are not fertile, yet cdtp seems to think I will drop an egg. FF is great, it doesnt rely on opks, it can catch ur O with or without opk's and with even the slightest of rises. I dont usually have any major temp jumps til 5-6dpo, and it always catches the proper date.

thanks dakotagurrl. i thought that maybe i should believe ff. it was just confusing as i think i kinda expected them to be in sync lol my opks are as negative as they get now and have been for 2 days so i do think cd10 was the day plus cm has changed to sticky now. so at least i know when future hubby comes home in 4 days were all good :-)
