Help w/ Temp/ovulation

I am on my 1st round of Clomid (cd4-9). I am currently on CD 19 and I thought I was going to ovulation yesterday on CD18 because my fertility monitor peaked on CD 17 and I also got a positive OPK the evening of CD 16. Also, on CD 15 and 16 I was having some weird pains in my ovaries which I attributed to my body gearing up to ovuate.
Here is my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/275e2
I was surprised when my temps when down today as opposed to up. What is going on??? Did I just have a LH surge and no ovualation? Can I have a late temp rise even if I did ovuate yesterday?
I am so upset and frustrated. I was ovulating in the past without clomid but my luteal phase was short so my Dr. gave me Clomid to try to regulate it. Now it seems that I am not ovulating at all.
Please help!!!

Hey, I talked to you over at the Clomid board last week. I was telling you I had the fert. monitor as well and didn't get a peak reading yet and I was on cd 15 or something?? I don't know if you remember, but I remember you! I finally got my peak reading on my monitor on cd 16 so like you, assuming that I'd O around cd 17 (24-36 hrs. later) well as you can see by my chart: http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/2e7e9, it looks like I might of Oed on cd 17 with a slight rise on cd 18 (only .1 temp hike) I think I have slow rise temps too! I know I Oed though, I had the most awful, terrible dulling pain on my left side, lower abdomen for about 4 days leading up to O, plus being bloated all of those days,it was so painful I could hardly walk. I am on 100mg of clomid cd 4-8 so I think maybe (hopefully) all the pain was from producing more than one egg. I have all the post-O signs now that I did O like, sore nipp's the day after O, face and chest broke out (never this bad before the clomid). My cp is still medium and closed, feels firm but when I check it manually I get some white creamy cm and had little bit in panties yesterday! I thought cm was suppose to dry up almost completely after O? My temps seem to be on the rise now, but only by like .1 degree per day! What is up with that? You can have what they call "a slow temp rise after O" I think this is what I'll end up having. Yes, you can get a surge without Oing but it's not very common especially seeing you had the pre-o symptoms like me. You're safe to say you probably Oed, I think it has something to do with this clomid. I thought clomid was suppose to make temps a bit higher than normal, I didn't expect to be so low after O especially with clomid. Just wanted to let you know I am just as confused as you are! I sent an email to FF asking about this, maybe you sould do the same. Fingers crossed that your temps go up and mine stay up!
