Answer 1

Ovulation is most closely tied to the changes in your cervical mucus, so I would tend to agree with you that it was probably closer to day 12 than 14. Usually getting up slightly earlier than normal will not affect your temperature too much.

If I was looking at your temperatures alone, I would probably set your ovulation around day 16 or 17 because I would be looking for 3 temperatures above the previous six and your temperatures were still so high at the beginning, but the most important fact here is that you did ovulate. No one can tell for sure when ovulation happens just by looking at a chart, we can only tell if you did or didn't. It may be that your body didn't register the progesterone as quickly this cycle and that's why it took a little longer for your temperature to go up.

Hope that helped. Fertility friend is a great program for charting, but I have seen it make some unusual choices in the past for setting ovulation.

You can adjust your temp up to 1.5 hours on either side of your usual temping time. For every 30mins difference from your usual wakeup time adjust temp by .1 degree. For example, on CD 14 you temped 1.5 hours earlier than usual--add .3 to your temp. If you had overslept by 1.5 hours then take away .3 from temp. So, on CD 14 your adjusted temp would be 97.8.
You could try putting that temp in for CD 14 and see if FF changes its mind. Or you could try discarding CD14 temp and see what happens. If you could post the link to your chart that would be very helpful!

Fertility chum is basically envisioned, based on the common womans cycle lengths. I used fertility chum to correctly known whilst i became ovulating, and it became desirable on for me. plus in case you basically had a chemical being pregnant it would desire to take your cycle a splash off for a pair months. Mine became off for type of three months in the previous my cycles went back to well-known.
