    25 is a healthy BMI isn't it?
    Did you put dates of AF Etc in correctly? Have green dates for when most fertile?

    I just downloaded it and had first go with it. It just matches with my own notes. Said best chance day was 24th this month with 32.5%

    Two days is nothing angel (I know it feels like forever when you're waiting). We waited til a week after missed AF before testing and the line was still very weak then. Could still be that there's a BFP on the way. Wait a few more days then try again.

    Jemima it is scary but you are in the right place. I am 34 so a few extra years on you and I got 27% on my ovulation day. I also only downloaded glow this month as well. If you scroll through do you get a higher reading later in the month? Maybe it is factoring in that you have only recently had the implant out. Your BMI is fine so no worries there, do you know what cycle day you are on and roughly how long your cycle day is?

    Jemima, I've tried ovia, mydays & glow, & liked ovia best so far. But that's just what works best for me. I know a lot of others have used glow & found it v useful. All if the ones I've tried are free, so maybe just download a few of them & give them a try to see what works best for you. Also, I think the longer you use it, the better it gets at predicting your cycle & ov.

    I have my days, my BMI is *ahem* not good. It didn't give me any percentage of chance but it gave me my estimated ovulation days. You highlight the first and last day, DTD days, notes and it will predict your next period. Definately helped with conceiving.
