I can't decide if I like this site or not. I don't think I trust it:blush I have been typing in my temps & cm daily & the site said *not in fertile time yet*...well, I'm in cycle day 15 now & according to me I am. Then I typed in my stuff yesterday & it said I was 3 dpo & the day before I didn't even ovulate yet (from the site).
I am missing something here??

I used it to get pregnant the last two times. I am using it again now to chart, but I do not have VIP anymore and am not happy that they have gone to VIP for many of the features. But anyway, why don't you post the link to your chart so we can look at it.

I don't like it either. It misinterprets ovulation when it doesn't take into account factors like breastfeeding.

:yeah I'm not happy with the VIP changes either. And I'm boycotting their message boards.... way too many restrictions and way too catty. I think I may try Ovusoft's software in the near future and see what I think of it. I've heard good things. :)

I know people who use Ovusoft when they are TTA, with accurate results. I also don't like that FF is only helpful if you are TTC. I think more women should be encouraged to chart normally, not just when they are TTC.

I currently use FF and as of yet, it's been pretty right on for me. I have tried the ovusoft and did not like it whatsoever. It changed my O date 6 times within a week last cycle where FF didn't give me an O date until I actually O and we knew I had because of bloodwork. I guess it's something that you have to try and see what works best for you!

I was fooling around with my chart & the settings part. I went from advanced to family awareness & got the same thing...4 DPO. When I changed it to research, I haven't o'd yet...very frustrating:hopmad
I think I will just stick with my own charting at home...only 7 days left for the free trial :upthumb

I keep FF set on FAM...it gives me the most reliable results that way. But then...that's just how it works for me! :)

I too have been super frustrated with it. It seems to wait until you have 3 temps up before identifying O, so we BD from +ve OPK to when it identifies the O - usually 2 days past O.
I had lots of trouble when I had a really long AF - it wanted to break my cycle into 2 -incuding a 5 day cycle. Argh.
But it does do the math for me and help me figure out when I should start with the OPK's.
Good luck.
I was thinking about Ovusoft - post back if you try it.
