I'm back from vacation....did I O while away?

I'm back from vacation! I don't know for sure if I O'd while I was gone, but I did get a positive OPK on Saturday when my temp shot up to 98.00 degrees after a good drop on Friday of 97.12 degrees. I'm confused by that... If you girls would look at my chart and tell me if you think I O'd, that would be great! (I drove home today so I haven't taken my OPK yet but will in a hour or two). Thanks!

It's really hard to tell, with that weird rise and drop.. we need to see the next few days temps. I know this is not a good answer.. lol I'm leaning more towards "no" (with the little info we have on your chart), but I suppose it's *possible*, if today's temp was a fallback rise. But again, we'll have to see the next few days temps..

I am leaning towards no as well. You normally don't see the temp rise the same day as you get a positive opk and your temp went right back down. I would get to bding! I think you may have a really good shot at this because I think you are going to ovulate really soon!

Once you chart for a few cycles you can start to tell what your own body's patterns are.

I did my OPK for today and it was very positive. But, my CM is very sticky and creamy...not EWCM at all. My cervix is even lower than it has been and harder. I wonder if the OPK's are not picking up my surge correctly! How can I have no signs of O'ing but have positive OPK's? The 30th through the 3rd I had really stretchy, creamy, and even EWCM but no + OPK's and now that I barely have any CM, I am getting + OPK's! It's so weird!

Opk's don't tell you that you ARE ovulating at that moment, they tell you you are GOING to soon. (generally within 12-48 hours after the first +) So your cervix could be higher, and your cm more fertile tomorrow or the day after..

Ha ha ha! I know that...but I usually have more CM before O. This just seems off is all.
