I have evidence of O'ing! Questions!

Okay, so yesterday (CD9) I had a big mess of EWCM with little blobs of light pink mucuc. I feel pretty confident that this was O-spotting, and today I've been having twinges of pain in my left ovary. Yesterday's temp was 97.4, and today's temp was 97.9. I know that this is my first month of temping, and I don't have enough temps yet to see a pattern, but it's not too often that I get O-spotting (only happened twice before), and my cycle has been 23 days long before, so ovulating on CD9 wouldn't be weird for me.

What do you ladies think? If my temp is lower by tomorrow, what does that mean? I hope that it's not lower, but my temps so far have been inconsistent. Do you think I O'ed?

Hehe, if I did, then DF and I are going to have to BD right after AF (or during

) when we TTC in October.

It is possible to o that early. If so, your cm should dry up and your temp should continue to be high. Good luck!

Today has actually been pretty dry--just a little wet, but not stringy anymore. I really hope that my temp stays high; if it doesn't, I won't know what to think about what I've been thinking was O-spotting. I mean, if it wasn't that, then what could it be? lol

What was your temp like today? It could have been o spotting. It is pretty early to be ovulating but if you have had 23 day cycles before I think it is certainly possible. I have had o spotting before a few times and I usually ovulate within a day or so of when it happens. I would get to bding just to be sure.

As for what else it could be, it could just be left over AF. I have spotting from AF that sometimes lasts for close to two weeks. I don't know what is normal for you though. It sure sounds like it could be ovulation spotting to me.

Thanks, Patty.

As it is, I'm just charting to get used to my cycles; we're not TTC until October, but believe me, if we were, I wouldn't have taken any chances! I'd definitely be BD'ing!

Unfortunately, my temps took a weird dip again today, being at only 97.3. That's my lowest one yet.

So, I have no idea what to think. Maybe I will ovulate today if that was O-spotting, or maybe it was just leftover AF like you said. Guess I'll find out by tomorrow's temp!

Sometimes I have a strange spotting about 5 days before I ovulate. I don't know what exactly causes it, but it helps me predict O. It's usually only for a day. Maybe that's what you're experiencing?

That could be, because it was only one time, and only lasted for about three wipes of TP (sorry tmi). It was very light red, almost pink, mixed in with a bunch of EWCM. That's what made me think that it was O-spotting, the EWCM. Maybe it just happen before I'm supposed to O, and maybe my temp dropped so low because of my oncoming ovulation. So, hopefully I'll see a spike within the next few days.
