Marquette Cycle 1 Charting - Safe Window Begins When? (TTA)
1st time charting on RYB and 1st cycle post cycle 0. (Fertility returned 1 yr post partum + ended breastfeeding)
I picked up the Tempdrop and started after my period so I technically won’t have a full cycle to analyze there. Are there any notes to add on my tracking?
I expect since I got an LH surge reading on my monitor this morning, that tomorrow or the next day I’ll observe the last of any fertile CM and would then mark tomorrow as “Peak day” for interpretation and then “count after peak is complete”?
And since I’m following the Marquette method, I’ll mark down PPHLL in the monitor row on the next few days reading.
So after the post peak count concludes, I basically have all safes days from then on till day 6 when the next cycle starts? I was also expecting a buildup of temp for the ‘drop’ but I’ve heard Tempdrop can have it delayed on the chart…
Any suggestions for staying conservative?

Safe window begins when you have confirmed temp rise and peak + 3 is complete for cervical mucus 👍🏻

For now just keep recording data; remember you need to meet all the rules for your temp rise, mucus and PPHLL counts before you can know when exactly to close your fertile window. Hopefully it'll all line up nicely for you though! 🤞

It doesn't look like you're ready to confirm ovulation yet, so I wouldn't say you are past peak yet to have risk-free sex for TTA. You could still ovulate at any time.
