HELP!!!! CBEFM ? AGAIN... CONFUSED!!!
Ok yestarday I posted that I was still low at CD13 but, FF chart said I O @ CD15. Well this morning CD14 I did a test again and it read that Im at my peak. Confused
Can someone help me understand? This is my 1st month using the monitor and I pee in a cup and do the test but, twice(including today) I peed on the stick alittle and dipped in cup.
Yestarday I saw a faint 2nd line, while today I saw 2 dark lines and we  with the help of preseed. So IDK if that had anything to do with it also.

Re: HELP!!!! CBEFM ? AGAIN... CONFUSED!!!
Okay, I am a little confused. If today is cd14 then how is FF telling you that you o-ed on cd15? Can you post your chart?

For one FF is an estimate. If your OPK is giving you a smiley then rely on that.

Tomorrow would be 15 which is what FF is telling her.

Okay, well, in that case, if your temps have not been consistently high for 3+ days then I would not go by the estimate on FF just yet. I would follow what the cbefm is telling you and see what the next couple of readings are!

ITA. If you have not yet had 3 high temps then dont assume you will be Oing tomorrow. Trust the monitor until you have more temps to confirm ovulation. Also, FF can sometimes give you crosshairs and then change them if your temps. tend to change.

Ok yestarday I posted that I was still low at CD13 but, FF chart said I O @ CD15. Well this morning CD14 I did a test again and it read that Im at my peak. Confused
Can someone help me understand? This is my 1st month using the monitor and I pee in a cup and do the test but, twice(including today) I peed on the stick alittle and dipped in cup.
Yestarday I saw a faint 2nd line, while today I saw 2 dark lines and we with the help of preseed. So IDK if that had anything to do with it also.
why are you peeing on the stick AND dipping it? Don't do that. Do one or the other. There was specific instructions on how long to dip it for. You don't want too much or too little urine on the stick. however, so long as the machine still got a reading and there wasn't an error message i think you are fine. it's good to pee in the cup bc if you do get an error message you need to retest and if you just peed on the stick and in the bowl you have no more urine to retest. that's why I say the cup method is better. plus you know it's more exact since you dip for x amt of time. AND added bonus... you don't pee on your hand!!! haha!
saw a line on what? the CBEFM testing stick?? They say not to pay attention to the lines on those sticks... but i did notice that when I ovulated there would be 2 dark likes. Still though, I didn't put much thought into the lines on those sticks. I stuck to the machine's readings instead.
CBEFM trumps an internet guestimate of when you ovulated. So I'd go by CBEFM. In any event you will have a peak reading then today and tomorrow and then a high reading the following day. You should have sex ALL 3 days in a row.
It's OK that you didn't get high readings before your peak readings... the machine is getting to know you and with time the high readings will come before the peak readings.
Good job on having sex last night! that's was a great move!! heck have sex every single night!!!! the more the better!! go at it like friggen rabbits!!!!
