@Sarahbeth Supposedly I was ovulating while I was ON my period.. and my peak was after? 💀
I wouldn’t go off your app dates. I would track with BBT (Tempdrop is a very easy way to do that!), CM and LH strips as a last result. Your period is likely delayed due to late ovulation :)
@Sarahbeth Isn’t it not normal to ovulate on my period though..
@Sarahbeth can you explain tempdrop to someone new to tracking?
I was 5 days late before I got my positive. Don’t give up yet!
@Desiree correct you cannot ovulate on your period, which is why I wouldn’t go off of what your app is saying.
@Jaidyn Lockwood temp drop is a device you wear on your arm while you sleep to track your BBT (instead of taking it orally every morning). It’s super comfy and gives you the flexibility stone times needed while tracking. Oral BBT tracking is very structured and can be difficult to stay on top of :)
@Sarahbeth and what is BBT? I’m sorry if I sound stupid, I’m just getting into tracking and TTC so very oblivious to the lingo lol
@Jaidyn Lockwood oh I’m sorry! Not a stupid question at all. BBT is your basal body temperature. It spikes after ovulation due to progesterone rising, and stays elevated until a day or so before your period comes, so that is the best way to confirm ovulation.
@Jaidyn Lockwood look up the Natural Family Planning method for more info :)
@Desiree if you ovulated on the 5th, you are 4DPO. Implantation (if successful) happens between 8-10DPO. :)
@Sarahbeth But I didn’t confirm ovulation this is what the app is apparently predicting.. I forgot to log some BD days.. been thinking I’m gonna get my period cuz I have been getting on and off cramps for a few days but my tests show negative?
@Desiree hard to know if you weren’t able to confirm. How many days has your cycle been so far?
@Sarahbeth Not sure how to figure that out.. does it show somewhere in my app? 😅

@Desiree we can solve :). When was the first day of your last period?
@Sarahbeth May 17th
@Desiree ok, so May 17th was cycle day 1, making today cycle day 24. In an average 28-30 day cycle, you will likely ovulate around cycle day 14 (May 30th). If you did ovulate around that time you would be roughly 10DPO. Obviously the ovulation day is just an estimate based off an average woman’s cycle, but everyone is different
I would make sure you have your periods marked correctly in your app as a start. :) (I can’t see when you have it marked for may)
@Sarahbeth If I have a 36 day cycle when would I ovulate?
@Desiree I would say probably closer to cycle day 20-22, but again that’s just a guess. The only way to know for sure is to track BBT, which I would start next cycle if you’re TTC :)
@Sarahbeth Okay so if the first day of my last my period was on May 17th what cycle day would it be today and how many dpo am I?
Count forward from May 17th to today, June 10th. That will tell you what cycle day you’re on. Again, we can’t really know how many DPO you are because you weren’t able to confirm ovulation, but based on your cycle length you could be anywhere from 2-5DPO.
Were you able to confirm ovulation?
