Hello everyone, first of all let me thank you all for answering my queries, no matter how silly they are.

It may be boring to read but I really appreciate it if someone could take the time to go through this and help me out, so that I could be more aware of how this thing works for future cycles.
I am very confused about when I ovulated, please look at my chart.
This is my first cycle TTC.

CD 9- had a negative OPK, low temps, partial ferning using saliva monitor- did not BD

CD10- had a positive OPK, full ferning, low temps, did not BD for some reason. I know this must have been my peak fertility day.

CD11- had partial ferning, temps went up slightly, but had a positive OPK. (why did I have high temps when OPK was still positive?). Did BD twice.

CD12- had partial ferning, negative OPK, very high temps (could be because I overslept 2 hours), did BD.

Now when did I ovulate? How come my temps were up when I had a positive OPK?

Sorry if this is so confusing. Thanks.

We BD on CD 11 twice in morning, and my OPK was positive in the same evening. BBT temps were higher in the morning (cd11-same day). so what to trust? bbt or opks? thanks again.

It's the big picture you want to look at. Your temp did raise a little on CD 11, but no higher than previous temps this cycle. That's why I think CD 11 was your O day.

It has been so long since I have interpreted charts.

Aww girls, thank you so much for the prompt replies.

Based on temps, I might have missed the windows.

Based on OPKs, I might still have a chance, athough we did BD only one one day (although twice on that day).

Please hope for me. Maybe something may click. heartfelt baby dust to you.

If you BD on CD 11 then you should be good. The egg stays alive for 12-24 hours after it's released, and it only takes 20 minutes for sperm to get to an egg. Your BDing in the morning on CD 11 would have more than covered that.


GL, and loads of baby dust to you!
