I haven't tried it, but it's supposed to be more reliable, and lots of people on HelloBee say it made so much sense of their charts. (you have to be consistent within the cycle, though--no switching halfway through. Vaginal temps are higher than oral.--but since you're on a new cycle you could start now?)<br /> _with much, much kindness: for this month to have been successful, I think you probably would have had to have sex on CD 18 and/or 19? unless you did and it just isn't marked.<br /> _with FF, you can do a manual override and put the ovulation line where you know it goes, and then I think it will calculate the coverline. since you use OPK's, did you enter in the positive OPK test results? I know it takes that into consideration, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2345210 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 10:12:49 +0000 KathrynElizabeth828 2345210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE- Hi there. I have not read Taking Charge of Your Fertility, but I just added it to my Amazon cart, and I will order today! It sounds like a fantastic resource and I can use all of them I can get. To be honest, I’ve read a fair amount about pregnancy, but not much about fertility. Before we passed our 1-year mark, I think I secretly wished it would “just happen,” so I have a lot to learn!</p> <p>As for this chart, I am not sure what to think. I do think you are right about ovulation occurring on CD 19 though. It was 18/19 the previous two months, and although I have only been charting 3 months, I’ve been doing OPKs longer and that seems about right. I’ve loved FF though, it makes it easier to see full picture than the paper charts I am doing for my GYNO/OB. I am not sure what to think about this chart (my previous 2 were very straight-forward. I am not going to let it drive me crazy though. Maybe I am fighting off a cold? Who knows? I do, however, wonder if FF intrinsically knew not mark the chart as triphasic. </p> <p>To answer your question, it did not move the cross hairs, which is a little irritating. I also definitely think you are right about it being something to look at and enjoy after the BFP. I actually had never heard of triphasic until I googled it after my chart started looking weird, then I started obsessing, of course. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2344995 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 07:45:31 +0000 LCTBQE 2344995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KathrynElizabeth828: Hi again, I just saw this so I'm late to the party. Just wondering, have you read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility? She just came out with a new version this summer and it is PHENOMENAL. It will turn you into a charting expert overnight, and it is so informative, funny, and empowering. Anyway, you probably already have it :)</p> <p>So, I would have guessed based on your CM notes that you did in fact ovulate where FF put the crosshairs, and not earlier. But then if you got your period yesterday, you must have O'd on CD19. Did FF re-set crosshairs when you entered in the menstruation info? </p> <p>I've driven myself crazy looking for triphasic charts every month, and I've gotten them with both BFPs I've had, but they've only become apparent *after* I already tested positive on the FRER. So it's kind of a fun/cute type of thing, but not much more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343304 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:23:48 +0000 KathrynElizabeth828 2343304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No ^@Lbee, it was a great idea! :) I just missed putting in that number earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343303 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:22:43 +0000 LBee 2343303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KathrynElizabeth828: Interesting. I thought it might move your dotted line. Sorry, I'm obviously no help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343293 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:16:20 +0000 KathrynElizabeth828 2343293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lbee it remains the same except for filling in the dotted line between cd 18 &amp; 20 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343292 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:14:45 +0000 LBee 2343292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KathrynElizabeth828: If you add in a temp of like 97.4 on CD19 what does it do to your chart? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343280 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:08:20 +0000 KathrynElizabeth828 2343280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much for the welcome everyone, and for the advice @Lbee and @kodybear! </p> <p>@Lbee- This is my third month charting but my first two cycles were day 18/19.</p> <p>@Kodybear- thanks for sharing your chart!! That's super helpful! </p> <p>I think you ladies are right though, it's ultimately what happens in the next days... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343261 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:52:46 +0000 kodybear 2343261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome! It's def possible that it might be triphasic but it'll be a couple days before you know for sure. Here's my chart from way back and it turned out to be triphasic. The dpo on your chart seems about right for you to see the spike but I've heard of some ppl getting triphasic both pregnant and not pregnant. So it's a waiting game unfortunately. But I do think you ovulated around cd 19ish </p> <p>[attach=327/15/nx98jy.337x600.image.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343260 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:51:36 +0000 LBee 2343260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been a long time since I charted, but I think that missing CD19's temp is what is potentially throwing it off. When do you usually ovulate? </p> <p>Ignoring CD19, I would be inclined to agree with Fertility Friend that you ovulated late. With that said, FF isn't 100% because you have a dotted red line.</p> <p>I hope it's triphasic and this is your :positive: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343236 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:42:39 +0000 Alivoo01 2343236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't chart or temp, but wanted to welcome you to the hive and wish you good luck on your TTC journey! </p> <p>There's quite a few of us that took awhile to conceive also so feel free to join those boards as well! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343191 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:13:07 +0000 KathrynElizabeth828 2343191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @Snowjewelz! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343189 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:11:56 +0000 snowjewelz 2343189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally don't remember this info anymore so I'm bumping for maybe some current TTCers or past experts! </p> <p>Welcome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-and-bbt-help-triphasic#post-2343120 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 13:23:34 +0000 KathrynElizabeth828 2343120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies! My name is Kathryn. My husband and I have been ttc for 13 months now and after the 1 year mark I started feeling like I need a community that understands! After looking through the boards, I feel like I know some of you already. I'm so happy I found this site! </p> <p>I'm also hoping for some advice! I've only been charting for 3 months (on paper- just transfered all the info into fertility friend today). My first two charts were normal, but this month I had a second temp. spike, and I am wondering if it is possible this could be a triphasic chart? FF is marking it as late ovulation, but the first spike matches my previous two charts. I have a little dip, but it's definitely not pronounced, I don't know how low it usually dips for implantation. Any advice I could get would be great so I could stop obsession so much without really knowing what I am looking at. I did take an early test which was negative. Thanks! :)</p> <p>[attach=6683/15/nx94fa.600x419.Screen-Shot-2015-11-03-at-9.28.12-AM.png] </p>
