I am not sure I ovulated this month

October 15, 2018 at 3:19 pmHi there Elyseon - Keep in mind that BBT is a retroactive tracking tool. This mean you will see that shift in your BBT readings after likely ovulation has already taken place. So you would see that trend in your OvaCue readings and those positive OPKs prior to see that shift to a new elevated range in your BBT readings. BBT is also a pretty sensitive fertile sign to track. So getting inconsisitant sleep can definitely make it tricky to rely on that. 

The OvaCue will begin each cycle by looking to oral readings for what's called a 'cue peak'. A 'cue peak' is one elevated oral reading followed by two lower readings, and can mean that you might be gearing up to ovulate in the next 5-7 days or so. This is what can populate that light to dark blue predicted fertile color coding. The OvaCue begins looking for that 'cue peak' based on that average cycle length that is entered into the OvaCue. With that average set to 35 the earliest the OvaCue will detect that 'cue peak' is CD 11. Once this has been detected the OvaCue will switch gears and zone in on your vaginal readings. As you move through that predicted fertile window your vaginal readings will begin to decline, this is where you'll want to start to consider yourself fertile. After likely ovulation has taken place your vaginal readings should rise and remain elevated compared to that low you saw just prior to likely ovulation. This decline and rise in your vaginal readings is known as possible ovulation trend and can populate that pink box in your color coding. 

In your chart there was possible 'cue peak' on CD 12/13/14. This was followed by declining vaignal reading through CD 16 and that rise on CD 17 - a possible ovualtion trend. This was bit too soon after that 'cue peak' which is why that pink box didn't populate until a few days after. So far those readings have remained elevated like you'd want to see after likely ovulation. I would be curious to know if you took any OPKs around this time as well? Do your cycles vary much from that 35 average you have entered into the monitor?

October 18, 2018 at 1:02 pmHi there - It does look like that purple box populated because a second decline and rise was detected in your vaginal readings on CD 23/24 - however those readings were still elevated compared to that low you saw on CD 19.

This leads me to believe that likely ovulation still may have taken place in the 24 hour window between that decline and rise on CD 16/17. You'll want to be watching those readings to remain elevated above that CD 16 low if likely ovulation was successful here.

October 22, 2018 at 8:45 amHi there- I wouldn't anticipate you seein an over 400 error message. There are some troubleshooting tests that I would be happy to walk you through running on your monitor and your sensors. This will help me determine what is causing this error and how to be resolve it. Could you send me an email to info@ovagraph.com and include that serial number on the back of your monitor? This will allow me to get the proper instructions sent over to you.
