Trackers?

Does any1 happen to know if the O tracker is supposed to make that line down the middle of the page when u get a confirmed O? I remember seeing it on FF but here its not showing and i know according my temps i am 3DPO.

I had the same question.  I thought maybe they were waiting for me to enter more cycles to learn my pattern???? But I haven't seen any kind of lines and I definitely O'd last cycle.

I had the same question  :)  I went through a whole cycle & no coverline.

Yeah, I have a whole cycle charted too and no coverline or ovulation date.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for being early adopters of our ovulation tracker. Last night, we launched the ability to pinpoint ovulation using three different methods - the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), OPK, and self-selected.

If you have charted a cycle already, go to your Tracker Settings on your Ovulation Tracker. At the bottom, you'll see the three options mentioned above. Check the boxes that you want applied to your chart. If we can detect ovulation clearly, then we'll mark a vertical line. If we cannot, you may want to select the day that you think you ovulated. Click on the "Chart" section for the day you believe you ovulated and check the box for "Ovulation Day". Many women know their bodies much better than we do, so we wanted to give you the option to indicate when you think you ovulated.

And finally, days post ovulation (DPO) is now counted if you have a single ovulation day. If you have different days for FAM, OPK, and self-selected, then DPO will not be counted. You can remove the non-applicable methods and then your DPO will be displayed.

Hope that helps...and Baby Dust to all of you.

Best,
MedHelp

Cool! I just chose FAM and got a coverline and O date for my last cycle. Thanks!

Hmm. What is FAM?  (Fertility Awareness Method?)  How do I make that work?  I choose it and did not get a coverline.  The only way I could identify my O date was by choosing it myself.  I don't mind identifying my own Ovulation date but I don't think that is helpful to other ladies who might be new to charting.

A few things that I find missing in Medhelp's Tracker and that I would like to see, a wishlist, if you may:
*I would like to record the time I took my temperature.  The time can effect the temperature.  If I take my temperature later in the day, my temperature can higher.
*Same goes for things like: disrupted sleep, alcohol consumption, stress, traveling, etc.  These categories are important to me because my job often takes me out of town and they offer explanations to why my temperatures might be all over the place.
*Furthermore, I find that the majority of 'symptoms' listed are indicative of pregnancy.  They don't, on the other hand, point towards reasons for late ovulation and/or oncoming menstruation (headaches).  I realise that I can use the journal option (which is fab!) for this type of information but I think quite a few of us ladies, like to look back at our charts and compare the symptoms from when we menstruated to the symptoms of our possible pregnancy.
*In the self-selected Ovulation option, I didn't manage to get my DPO's counted and a coverline.  Is there a way to self-select my coverline too?

Thank you so much for your time in creating and updating the tracker!
