May 13, 2015 at 10:21 amWhen charting at OvaGraph using the Fertility Awareness Method, Peak Fertility is considered your most fertile day of the cycle. Simply put, Peak Fertility is the very best day for intercourse if you are trying to get pregnant!
By definition, Peak Fertility is the last day that you experience fertile quality cervical fluid (or lubricative vaginal sensation) in relation to a confirmed temperature shift. Once OvaGraph detects a temp shift and confirms that your temps have remained elevated for 3 out of 4 days, it will display a purple line on your chart (called Likely Ovulation), and will find the most recent day that is charted with fertile quality cervical fluid (and/or lubricative vaginal sensation) and mark that day with a “P”, for Peak Fertility. This day will also have dark green shading.
But, keep in mind that Peak Fertility will only be labeled on your chart AFTER you have seen a temp shift, which is AFTER ovulation has likely occurred. So, don’t wait to see that P on your chart before you begin having intercourse when you are trying to conceive. It is important to remember that any day on which you see egg white cervical fluid or experience lubricative vaginal sensation is potentially your most fertile day of the cycle. To help you identify these days, each day that you see fertile quality cervical mucus/fluid and/or experience lubricative vaginal sensation, you will see light green shading on your chart for that cycle day. Seeing those fertile signs can indicate that ovulation is about to occur, so we recommend you consider yourself fertile.
