????? What to think?

okay so first month using fertility friend and I just dont know what to do.... girls w/ long cyles I could use your help.
So I was  16dpo on FF. then today it changed my ovulation day and now its saying i'm 5 dpo. I dont know what to believe.... anyone has issue w/ this ... I have no clue what it feels like when I ovulate... i've never had extreme enough cramps to  notice even during my period ( blessing) so  does FF really know what its doing when its guessing??? my cm has been the same for the last 3 wks if that matters. somedays  i would have a lil more stretchy ew ish'  but not on the so called O'days....


2nd question.  i've had "tight" muscle stretched feeling right where you have ovulatory pain for 3 days now. I thought it was from working out my abz's at the gym. but that feeling usually goes away after a few days and its still. here but the question is.. i've had this pain in my back the lower middle part. and when you have back pain early on in preg. is it more lower like your pants line or in the middle of your back???

It happens! We all messed up the first chart or two. I can't be of any help in the BBT stuff but if you want more info on CM I can help with that.

Egg white will be clear and stretch an inch or more. Sometimes it can be "watery" as in it is so slimy and abundant. So you can only define CM as EWCM if it is both CLEAR (like raw egg whites) and stretches an inch or more. If it stretches an inch or more but is cloudy, it is NOT EWCM.

oaky I may be confused between Ew and stretchy...... i've had soem that I could  stretch 6 inches if I wanted ( clear /off white)  but i've also had some after that that is just a lil stretchy like 1/2 - 1 inch is that still EW? b/c its not clear b/c i may just have my cm charting confused....

As far as long cycles go, you can begin producing CM for days or weeks. FF is not only taking into consideration your temps, but the CM production as well. If you are continually producing fertile CM then obviously you haven't Oed yet or are Oing now. After ovulation, CM will return to anything BUT EWCM.
