Did I ovulate?
| Mon, 10-13-2003 - 3:47pm |
Ok, all you charting experts! Do you think that i ovulated yesterday or even the day before. I know i got a positive OPK but my temps still are not going up that high yet. And, is it normal to have such a dip in temps before ovulation? I normally temp at 8:30 but temped at 9:30 this morning, but that shouldn't make much of a difference, right?
any input appreciated,
thanks,
jennifer

It looks like you Oed on cd 20 due to the high temp spike the following day. Your temps are fine as each day they are going up and up and not dipping. It is VERY normal to have a nice big temp dip the day of O, many girls get it, I do not for some reason! You sure you had only MM cp at the time of OPK? It's not unheard of but usually it is high and soft at the time of OPK, your fertile time. I am having the same problem identifying my O date too as my temps are still kinda low for post O temps, my charts attached. I had my peak reading on monitor on cd 16 so I would assume like OPK's, I would O the next day which would of been 24-36 hrs. from the time I got my surge right? I think I Oed on Saturday, cd 17 with ONLY a .1 temp spike to confirm O. Does this look right to you? Since we are in similiar boats with our charts and when we might of Oed, can you peek at my chart too? I don't think your hour made that big of a difference but they said to - about 1.0 degree per half hour late, I didn't do it, I usually temp at 8:00 a.m. and the day I got my peak reading I woke up at 8:30 a.m. and took it and I did not adjust mine down 1.0 at all, I just left it. I think within a half hour is ok but not totally sure if one whole hour would affect it. Good to find out though...
TIA. Maybe we can find out together!

so it looks like we ovulated about the same time. we'll have to keep each other posted the next two weeks. Maybe this will be the month for both of us.
Do you ever have any ovulation pains? i had some mild cramping on my right side last night. i am not sure if this is related to my cycle or not, though, as this is the first month i have really paid attention.
i will keep my fingers crossed for you!

I'm guessing you O'ed either CD20 or CD21. It is possible to still O on the same day as a +OPK (CD20), and you DID have a significant temp jump that day after the +OPK. CD21, which FF has marked for you, is also a high chance that was your day.
FF is probably basically disregarding the two high pre-O temps at CD13 & CD14. If you take those out of the equation, your chart doesn't look strange at all. And some women do have a real temp dip the day of ovulation - if only we all did, what a clue that would be! =)
Either way, it looks like you've got it covered with your BDing.
Good luck to you!

I told you my chart was a bit confusing. Yea, if I "just" went by temps everyone that saw my chart thought I Oed on cd 13! I didn't even get the peak reading until cd 16 and you obviously can't O without the surge first! LOL. I had to of Oed on cd 17 due to all of my other fertility signs as you mentioned with only a .1 temp hike, I guess it's possible to only have that little bit of a temp hike, although most charts I see usually have like 2 -4 degree hike. We'll see what tomorrow brings, I have a feeling it won't be much higher than where it is now. I am getting the 7dpo prog. test done to confirm O next Monday but I already know I Oed, I have all the signs of Oing. BTW, do you have any creamy cm right now? I've been checking cp still everyday and I've found that when I manually check I have some lotion like cm, I'm sure it's normal since I just Oed two days ago. I wonder if it will dry up, I hope not b/c creamy cm can be a pg sign if you get a lot of it and it continues through your cycle. I'll be monitoring that as well. Yea, we got the bd covered but I just don't feel like we hit our month and I know it's really early to tell, trying to stay positive!
I got O pains so BAD this cycle (I am on clomid, 100mg-just finished it) so I had terrible and I mean terrible O pains from last Wed - Saturday (the day of O) they were awful, it was more of a dulling pain on the lower left side and it just stayed there and felt like a brick was down there. Right now I have sore nipp's (from Oing) and have had heartburn for about 2 days and thats about it.
Let's hope for high temps...
Thanks for replying back.

I'm going to go with that you O'd on CD22. It is within 48 hours of the + OPK, and your temp rose and CM dried up the next day. Good luck this cycle!
