So after yesterday's temp and info was entered FF gave me my O date of the 12th then today i entered my temp which was way lower and it told me that it was not confident of my O date and took away my crosshairs. Which is totally sucky because we had great timing of DTD this month. So what do you think, if my temps are back up tomorrow will it put my crosshairs back or did i really not ovulate???

Hmmm even though you had fertile CM and you did have an initial temp jump, the lack of positive OPKs would leave me wondering. Sadly I think the only way you will really get an answer is to continue to wait.

Did you have any "environment" changes this morning that would cause a temp drop? Allergies/stuffy nose that would cause you to sleep with an open mouth resulting in a lower mouth temp? Lack of heat in the bedroom last night? etc?

Our room is always relatively cold and this last week i've has a head cold but it has been all week and i am getting better now. As for the OPKs, it didn't affect me getting the crosshairs so it was pretty much just the temp drop. I was so excited to get my crosshairs and now they're gone!

I'm with Kati, the CM points towards fertile, but the OPKs being negative make me wonder. Did you try doing an OPK today? If so, was it + or -? Altho I see you have been ill for almost a week. That can have a big effect on your O and cycle.

Many things can occur: Your temp fluctuation may be due to illness... your O may be delayed due to illness.

GL though, keep us posted!

I see FF gave them back!!! Yeah!!!

Yeah i got them back yesterday but then it took them away again today! Dang it! I am breastfeeding so my cycles are still just getting back to normal but i was thinking about it and the day my temp dropped after my possible o date is the first day in months that DS slept through the night (he usually was up 3 to 4 times a night) and has since then too so maybe that accounts for the lower temps. If this is the case my chart is not really going to be accurate this month huh? Would it be a good idea to discard the temps since they are technically out of the norm from the rest of my chart?

I've been wondering the same thing about my temps. I noticed that the one night I got about 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep my temp was a little higher. I have a three month old and 17 month old who have been taking turns waking me up.
