I wrote a few days back saying how erratic my temps were pre-O this cycle - up and down, every other day being around a 97.2 which is low. I *always* ovulate and most of the time its on CD13. I've had a stray CD12 and CD14 or 15, but most always its CD13 since even before I started trying. Soooo ... yesterday on CD13 I got my first ever line on the OPK that was darker than the control. My question is this ... I've been sick with a bad cold - no fever - just a cold - very stuffy, then runny nose, stuffy head, sore throat, the works. I put two and two together and looked up that having a cold can really screw with your temps big time - up and down. So this morning I wake up with what should be a spike in temp and its 97.22. My question is this .... should I just manually note O day and discontinue temping this month as I'll drive myself crazy in my entire luteal phase and its not going to tell me much anyways since its so crazy with the cold??? Second question .. what should I mark down for O day? Yesterday where I got the very, very dark positive? Or would it be today?

I think if I were you I would continue temping this cycle and accept that your temps may be slightly out due to your cold.


Also, FF won't give you CH's until you have 3 higher temps so it might just take a few days.


My chart tends to dip around O time and this cycle I have had a very slow rise (I have a cold too)


Try not to get too worried about your temps this cycle and see what happens in a few days time.


Good luck

Sorry you are sick. Also remember though that with being sick you O could be delayed some so I would try and continue to temp and see if O is confirmed by FF. If not then I would adjust manually I would also try another OPK today and see if you surge is still going which could also help indicate when you will O. Good Luck and feel better soon.

Your O day could just be delayed a couple days this time.

I took another OPK today and it was again positive, so we'll BD tonight as well since we didn't last night. However, Tuesday and Wednesday we did. Hopefully we will have it covered.
