Was Glow right for your first month?

Question

This is my first month tracking using Glow and I'm trying to understand my cycle but now I'm just really confused. I feel like Glow had told me I already ovulated but I didn't have any indication of it. Could it be that because I only just started that it doesn't know enough about me yet and so calculations are off? I'm worried I'm missing opportunities to BD because the app says I'm now in the TWW period. Help??

Answer

I started using Glow at the end of August. I put all my cycle info dating back to June. I BD every other night starting the day AF went off and the day of, day before, and day after ovulation. I was pregnant my first month trying. I did this with all my kids.

Answer

I've only been using Glow for about 6 weeks. I tried looking back on my regular calendar where i keep track of my periods to input that into Glow. I tried to log symptoms every day so it would be as accurate as possible. My period came a few days earlier than expected so once I logged that, it recalculated.

It said my fertile week was last week with Wednesday being my highest %. I started using OPK last week as well and it seems like I didn't ovulate until Friday/Saturday.

What I'm going to do going forward is use Glow to track the cycles and see when it estimates ovulation but definitely use OPK the week of ovulation to be more accurate.

Answer

I have been using it for at least 4 months, but have logged my flow for years. I also put in my information and it accurately predict flow and ovulation 90% of the time. While stress, weight and other factors can hamper your ability to get your flow and ovulation on time, I think it does pretty well.

Answer

Thank you. That really helps. I guess it is just an app after all. I've never used OPKs do you use them everyday or just when you think you are ovulating?
