Hmmm.. more confusion

fishysticks · #1 January 2nd, 2007, 05:23 AM

So, my temp went down a bit this morning- still much higher than usual though!
Does that mean I still could have ovulated on CD24?

Some people have suggested I discard my temp from CD25 since i'd drank the night before, but i'm not definite that alcohol was the reason for my temp rise.

And then there's also all my confusion about whether or not my OPK on CD24 was positive or not.

What do you ladies think?

I will bet with your positive OPK yesterday (and I think it was positive) that your temp will spike back up tomorrow. I would bd tonight for sure! I think you are probably ovulating today. Good luck! You'll need a few more days temps to be sure, but definitely keep bding! Good luck!

I guess I just have to wait and see!
If my temp doesn't go back above the super high one, I may just discard it and chalk it up to being from the alcohol.

It's hard to know what to do!
My OPK yesterday was absolutely positive, it's the one from the day before yesterday that i'm not so sure about- another reason why I haven't discarded that high temp yet.

If I had O'ed on CD24, would my temp absolutely have stayed up? Is my temp on CD26 below the coverline? (i'm not totally sure how those work).

Sorry for all the questions, it's better to ask than not to ask!

FF doesn't give you crosshairs until they are sure you ovulated. You usually need 3 days of sustained higher temps before you can draw a coverline. Your temps will sometimes drop back down, but they should stay above the coverline. (You will get a coverline in a few days if you did indeed O.) You could have O'd on cycle day 24. It will be difficult to say for sure which day is correct. I would just keep bding either way though to cover all your bases. I will stalk you again tomorrow. Good luck!
