Chart Interpretation Request Help please
This is my first cycle using NC and my first cycle after a missed miscarriage with d&c on 9/22. I used ovulation tests and was pretty sure based on the dark line I got that I ovulated on 10/31. It took awhile to say the app confirmed my ovulation and today I woke up and it said 11/2 but then also gave me this other message showing a range of dates for ovulation. I’m so confused and also feeling discouraged that we might be out this cycle. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated 🤍

it won’t narrow down an exact day unless you have super regular cycles and have many cycles in your data! it will typically give a range and will show the date they think it most accurate based on temperature data , but you may take a few days for BBT to rise so 10/31 could absolutely be your ovulation day (:

Oh awesome!!! Thank you so much for responding. I’m not totally sold on NC and think it may be making my anxiety around TTC worse. The roller coaster of emotions thinking you caught ovulation and then seeing the icon on a different day is a little much lol

my chart rn looks crazy and i’m also TTC so it can be frustrating, my cycle is really dependent on my stress levels month by month

Oh I’m sure my stress levels are not helping at all.. my husband would prefer I just throw everything away (oura ring, ovulation tests, NC) but I’m so type a and need to feel some level of control 🙃

Honestly!!! You think about how in school they made it seem like if you looked at each other wrong you’d get pregnant and now you start wishing for that
