What is the difference between your Peak Fertility day and your Likely Ovulation day?
When you are trying to get pregnant, it is important to have intercourse before ovulation and when you see egg white cervical fluid (or experience lubricative vaginal sensation). Remember that egg white cervical fluid is 'fertile' fluid, and must be present to help carry the sperm to meet the egg for fertilization. While Peak Fertility might sometimes land on the same day as the Likely Ovulation day on your OvaGraph chart, these are not at all the same thing. Peak Fertility is the most fertile day of your cycle, as defined by the last day that you see egg white cervical fluid or experience lubricative vaginal sensation. On the other hand, your Likely Ovulation day is displayed after a possible temperature shift. In most cases, Peak Fertility will be displayed a day or two before the Likely Ovulation day, but if you see egg white cervical fluid on the day when a possible temperature shift occurred or even the day after, Peak Fertility will be displayed there.
