Since you haven't seen your cycles return yet, it's going to be important to that you aren't relying solely on that color coding but watching the readings themselves.
To do this you are first looking for a 'cue peak' in your oral readings. A 'cue peak' will appear as 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. Once ou've noticed this 'cue peak' in your readings you'll want to switch gears and zone in on those vaginal readings to help narrow down likely ovulation even further. As you move through that fertile your body will start to surge estrogen causing those vaginal readings to decline, this is where you'll want to start to consider yourself fertile. After likely ovulation your body makes the switch from estrogen to progesterone causing those readings to rise and remain elevated until you see the start of a new cycle. This decline and rise in your reading is a possible ovulation trend.
In your chart, there was a possible 'cue peak' on CD 6/7/8. This was followed by declining vaignal readings through CD 12 and a rise on CD 13 - a possible ovulation attempt. You'll next want to be watching those readings to remain elevated compared to that low you saw on CD 11. Remember to go back to considering yourself fertile if those readings begin to decline again.
