What do you go by more when determining when you "O"... your temps or CM? I had several days of fertile CM but according to my temps, I have not O'd yet. The past 2 days I haven't had much CM at all. Is it possible that I've O'd already and my temps aren't showing it? I had a dip this morning so I was guessing within the next day or so I'd see a jump. I'm still new to this so just wondering! Thanks!

My CM, but only if it goes through all the stages to reach Peak. Just the fact that it shows up isn't enough to tell me I've ovulated. If it doesn't reach Peak, then I know my body may have tried to ovulate and just didn't go through with it.

I definitely trust my temps (with OPKs) more. Plus I get nipple pain during/after ovulation so that helps me as well. My CM just isn't reliable enough, but may be for you.

OK does it look like I O'd on the 17th? I know it will probably depend on what my temps are like for the next couple of days but I was surprised to see that I haven't had a jump yet. My cycles are consistently 28-29 days (except the last one which was short) so I'm concerned if I haven't O'd yet that my LP is really short. I get really excited to take my temp every morning but I can see how it can get stressful really quickly!

I trust my temps more, since sometimes I can have patches of fertile CM and not ovulate. It doesn't really look like you O yet, but that doesn't mean you haven't, since we'll probably need more temps to see if you ovulated yesterday. Our bodies can be very confusing sometimes
