Can you ladies take a look at it for me? You see, the last two days I got a temp rise and thought that I was ovulating. But I recently found out that the rise happens after ovulation. Now, two days before my temps rose, I had a dip in my chart. At that same time, my CM was sticky and my cervix was soft and open. It was low soft and open during the two days it was up as well. I started taking OPT's the two days I got a rise, which I realize now was too late. Plus, I have PCOS.

I wasn't able to temp the two days between the dip and the rise, so I am not sure what they were. I am feeling irritable now, which happens about two weeks before AF begins. Keeping in mind that each month, AF comes at different times, can you ladies look at my chart and tell me what you think?

Am I correct that O happens around or after the dip in the chart? If I'm wrong, can someone clarify for me?


ETA: I'm fairly certain I Oed at some point the last few days, I am just not sure when.

the thermal shift helps to show that O occured. Some people have a dip the day of O and some dont

Also, sometimes temps can start to rise before O, as I've unfortunately discovered through monitoring at my RE which can give you the wrong O date. I don't know why my temps did that this cycle but they did. My RE was giving me u/s and taking blood every single morning to pinpoint ovulation for the last two cycles and the cycle before this, FF would have given me the wrong date (and this cycle my temp started to rise before O). So take charting with a grain of salt, it could be off by a couple of days..
