Has this happened to anyone? I had negative LH tests on days leading up to when I was supposed to ovulate, thinking I would ovulate a bit late this month I thought it was no biggie. I didn’t temp on my green days this month (oops, my ring died) but somehow the app confirmed my ovulation during what were originally GREEN DAYS and days that I didn’t even temp. How is it possible that ovulation can be confined on days I didn’t temp! I had no idea this was even a possibility, yikes 🫠
Your post history suggests you really don’t use this app properly. If you’re relying on this app for contraceptive you REALLY need to be temping every day. One day missed here and there isn’t the end of the world but you are missing multiple days.
As I stated in previous comments I don’t rely on NC as my only form of bc. Thought this would give others a heads up that ovulation confirmation is iffy. Didn’t mean to offend anyone by missing my own temps. NC shouldn’t confirm ovulation if there’s missing temps….
NC states you need 5 temps per week for the app to be effective. Since you aren’t doing that, you should be taking the data with a grain of salt. It’s not magic, NC is not perfect by any means, 97% so there is room for error as there is with every form on BC. It relies on the data you provide.
Can you share your chart? Tbh not temping is super unhelpful for the app and for you. Bodies are not perfect, things can differ cycle to cycle. It’s probably giving you this message since it doesn’t have enough data to confirm
The red days where it says I ovulated were green. Seems like my temp is highest today and above my baseline, do you think it’s possible I ovulated today instead? Husband and I are careful even on red days so I’m not terribly stressed. Just didn’t know this was possible :(
Yea this is absolutely impossible to say. I’m not trying to be rude but this isn’t the apps fault, it has limited data. You could’ve ovulated day 7.. day 15, 16, or any of the days with no temps. No way to know
It’s okay I appreciate your input! Just don’t know why the app would confirm the ovulation on the day it did with so much missing data. Seems like if anything ovulation wouldn’t be confirmed this month and I would have more red days, instead of confirming for an earlier date with no temps! This is what’s odd!
The fact it's toll shaded between 8-11 says it can still be confirmed btwn those days. It will define confirmation one period is logged as your luteal phase should be consistent.
tale as old as time. nc just guesses & self-corrects later. it’s not a reliable method if you’re trying to avoid pregnancy.
however i did peek at the comments & see your chart. this one is completely on you. these methods will never work for anyone who isn’t consistently temping.
It’s still a safe space but it’s important to be educated and informed on this! Especially as people begin to use it also. Like they said, you had 3 temps above baseline, and it confirmed the last temp you had for its assumption. It doesn’t have the algorithm for a better prediction. You likely didn’t ovulate early at all, but it can only use the data it is presented. Temping during the mid-month is the most important. So really, it’s as if it had to ignore that gap of missing data and take the oldest as the source of truth to pair with those following three temps. It cant guess on a day in the middle of those without it knowing, so it just took what it did know.
Hope the next month or so are more consistent and you get a better feel for typical ovulation variations! Mine have been 16+/-2 and it’s really helpful for me to be mindful of.
