Long charting question

Thanks Erin for showing me how to get my chart linked.

I am very confused by my cycle this month. Normally, I have a very cut and dry cycle. I generally O on CD 12 or 13, and my cycle is 27 days. This month, on CD 11, I took my temp 50 minutes late. When I entered it into FF, it showed my temp w/ the not-filled in circle. So, if I discard this temp, then it shows that I O'd at my usual CD 13, but if I leave it charted normally, I don't get crosshairs. I have never O'd past CD 14 in the past year, and if I leave in the CD11 temp, I still haven't O'd as of CD16. These post-O temps are low for me, but I have been an occasional slow riser as well. Also, I have been taking OPK's and I feel like I have gotten a positive, or what I think is a + for about 4 days now, including a + if I did O on CD 13.

So, any experts out there, what would you do? Would you discard the CD11 temp or keep it?

I only thought of discarding that CD11 temp today b/c I woke up at my usual time this am to temp, and then went back to sleep for another hour. I temp'ed again when I woke up and my temp was .3 degrees higher than the hour before. Does any of this make sense? It does in my mind at least

Yes, I would discard the cd 11 temp. I hope you caught that egg!

I agree I would discard it as well. And if you wake up and then go back to sleep and then take your temp your temp could be off as well

HTH and I hope you caught that egg!

I agree with discarding that temp. Your temp shift correlates with your positive OPK, so it looks good

How is the charting going?

Well....it's going. Yesterday's temp made FF shift my O date to CD15, so I lost 2 days. It stinks going from what you think should be 5DPO back to 3DPO. I have played around with my temps a bit, and now it doesn't matter if I discard CD11 temp or not. Oh well though. Whatever happens, happens. Luckily enough, we DTD on CD15, plus all the days before when I though I should have O'd on CD 13. We did the work, now it's time to sit back and wait, regardless of when I O'd. This is by far the most confusing temping cycle I have ever had.
