New and Confused

Your 'cue peak' in your oral readings (one higher reading followed by two lower readings) was detected on CD 10/11/12. This indicates ovulation may happen in the following 5-7 days. At that point you want to shift your focus to your vaginal readings looking for them to start declining. The declining vaginal readings indicate your body is surging estrogen, gearing up for ovulation. There is a decline/rise on CD 12/13, but that would be quite close to the 'cue peak' for me to think that was possible ovulation and your vaginal readings continue to decline after that until they rise on CD 19. The rise indicates your body swithced from esgtogen dominane to progesterone domincae which is what happens right after ovulation. So, CD 18/19 looks like a possible ovulation trend that would fall into the 5-7 day reange from your first 'cue peak.' After this, you want to see your vaginal readings stay elevated above your lowest low at possible ovulation (CD 18), however, they are continuing to decline. This could possible mean you have not ovulated yet, which would put you into a longer cycle than 30 days, do you ever have cycles that last 35+ days? It could also mean that your vaginal readings aren't staying elevated after ovulation like we would expect to see. This can be an indication of lower than expected progesterone. You would want to keep an eye on that and the length of your luteal phase over a few cycles to see if this is a one off thing this cycle or a more consistent pattern. 

Your oral readings are what determine the predicted fertile window. They won't follow the same pattern as the vaginal readings. Once your 'cue peak' has been detected, the oral readings aren't going to give too much information past that. 

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
