June 13, 2015 at 8:58 amhello,

I am new, but have been taking readings timed and daily. I'm on cycle day 12 in the medium blue, with a projected dark blue on the 15th. I'm using opk tests as well and my peak on advanced clear blue digital was on Friday, but another first response test I did has not picked up my surge yet. How accurate are the color codes on the graph? Will they change based on readings? I just think my projected ovulation day (dark blue) may be early. Thanks for any feedback. I'm in the 4th month of trying to conceive with my first and I am 37 years old, but first month using ovucue.

June 15, 2015 at 8:46 amAre your cycles typically 29 days in length? The OvaCue is looking for specific trends in your oral readings to provide you with your predicted fertile window - that range of light to dark blue days. We call that the 'cue peak' trend, and that is 1 higher oral reading followed by 2 lower oral readings, just as we saw on CD 6/7/8. It's possible for your body to attempt ovulation before, on, or after that predicted ovulation day, which is why those vaginal readings are so helpful as you move into that fertile window.

As your body is getting closer towards ovulation, we tend to see those vaginal readings declining as your body is surging estrogen. When you see those declining vaginal readings, we recommend you are considering yourself fertile. Then, after ovulation takes place, we tend to see those vaginal readings rise and remain elevated for the remainder of the cycle.

Keep an eye on those readings and we can see what they show us in the upcoming days.

June 15, 2015 at 10:04 amToday is my projected ovulation day, however, my opk tests have all been negative other than Friday.

Will the color codes change if the vaginal readings keep declining?

The last few months, we have been timing intercourse earlier in the cycle, but for some reason I feel like I may be ovulating later like day 16 or 17. The fertility friend app projects the 18th, but according to the monitor, it is today.

I would appreciate any other input. I will be taking my daily vaginal reading at 5pm today.

Thank you

June 15, 2015 at 2:13 pmBoth oral and vaginal readings are on the increase after 1 day of declines. Does this mean I ovulated?

June 16, 2015 at 8:22 amIt's possible ovulation could have been attempted in that 24 hour window between that vaginal low and the rise on CD 12/13. That rise was just a bit too small to populate a pink box on the rise - that's why looking at those trends can be so helpful as well! If you think ovulation may take place later in your cycle, it's possible you may see an additional ovulation trend in the upcoming days. I would recommend you keep an eye on your readings so you can see if that's the case!

June 16, 2015 at 2:24 pmThank you. I saw a fertility specialist today, who confirmed via ultrasound and blood work that I have not ovulated yet, but should within the next 24 hours. My vaginal reading is on the decline today, but bbt is still low along with negative opk tests. If my vaginal reading increases over the next couple days along with my bbt, will the pink box populate indicating ovulation? My colors have not changed since they first populated and I'm now 100% convinced ovulation is on its way. Looking forward to your comments. Thank you

June 17, 2015 at 9:16 amHello! Yes, I believe the pink box should populate when you see a drop and rise in your V readings over the next few days. Your BBT will not rise until after ovulation has occured to confirm that it was successful. Also, don't worry about the neg OPKs at this point, its very common for OPKs to show a late positive (sometimes after ovulation).

June 17, 2015 at 9:43 amIf your vaginal readings continue to decline and then rise, you'll likely see that pink box populate. Keep us posted!
