So here's the deal...

I got my VERY FIRST + OPK on Thursday. I was very happy, very excited, danced around the house, texted DH, etc. We've been BD'ing with Pre-Seed and everything. Thursday evening I got those stabbing pains I get just about every month (I have always thought it was possibly O pain) and they were gone by Friday morning.

Sounds like everything is moving along as it should, yeah? The thing that has both DH and myself confused is this... my temps are still staying really low. What's up with that?

26ef23 Ovulation Charts

Do you think something is wrong? Shouldn't I have O'd by now if the OPK was right? WTH!!

Hmm... was just looking over my temps on FF from last cycle. According to FF I O'd on CD 16 with a temp of 97.2, the following morning my temp rose to 97.7.

Today is CD 16 of my new cycle and my temp was 97.2... since my + OPK was Thursday, is it possible that today might be O day? DH woke me for BD around 1:15am & used Pre-Seed (bless him) so when I woke at 7:15 for temping I didn't check CM because I figured it might not be accurate. I've checked since I've used the potty a few times and it still seems fairly watery, but again... I don't know whether or not I should trust that.

Maybe reading all the OPK stuff about how many hours are supposed to pass between a + result and actual O made me read into things too much. *Sigh* Wish I could stick my head up there and see what's goin' on!

There are two possibilities here. It's possible to have a positive OPK and not ovulate, which is why the only conclusive evidence of O is after the fact. The CM has to dry up and the temps have to rise to confirm it. It's also possible for the temps to take an extra day or two to rise in response to ovulation. Keep tracking carefully and keep BDing if you notice slippery mucus. If the +OPK was just a false start, your body might give ovulation another try at some point. If it was the real thing, your temps should start to rise soon.

I agree and from looking at your last chart it looks like you tend to have a slow rise. I think you may have ovulated but are just seeing a slow temp rise. I hope so anyway.

We'll keep goin' since I definitely haven't had a CM dry up yet.

Thanks so much for your insight.

When in doubt, BD away! I hope your chart reflects ovulation soon! Good luck!

Update...

Temp this morning was 97.6... that's the highest my temp has been all cycle. Seems like my body likes CD 16! LOL!

Your chart is looking good! I have had a cycle or two where I have had an opk and not ovulated right after. That is one reason I like to chart along with using opks.
