Hey everyone! I missed thee all.

Anyhoo...I need help QUICK! You know I posted a pic of my OPKs a few days ago and I was unsure whether it was a positive...well...I am still unsure BUT my boobs hurt (since CD15) so I am reckoning maybe I did ovulate??????? Its so important to know as I need to know whether to start my progesterone? I think I might?

I did do some temps on hols but with the time difference they weren't very good (and with the time diff I am not too sure of my OPK;s either...maybe my CD12 OPK was the end of the surge? Its definitely a tiny shade lighter than the control)...

Anyhoo...just put my temps into my chart here
1ed85b Ovulation Charts
but as there wasn't enough to tell me anything I added some usual pre-ov temps for CD10 to CD12 (so they're not real) but I do get that rise on CD14 from Cd13 and with the fake temps I get a ov date of CD13 which is amazing as I usually get CD19 (I had a feeling I would ov earlier though because of my cycle being longer on the progesterone last time)

We've DTD lots on hols and I'm scared if I don't take my progesterone I might miss an eggie implanting....but if I haven't ovulated yet then the progesterone might stop it happening? Though I guess it doesn't matter as I'll take it as if I ovulated CD13 then stop and see if AF comes and then have to start again anyways....? arghhhh....help me decide!!!

i do not know what to say.. but there is a possibility if you think it was positive.. it could have been.. depending on if the ones before that were not as dark.. but good luck.. your temps do look good.. see what happens tomorrow.. good luck

I started my OPK's CD10 and all were neg. They got a little lighter, then the possible +, then fainter and now totally blank....

I'm gonna check out some OPK galleries online...

Its my boobs that were the sign that got me thinking. I thought I'd just carry on taking my OPKs upto CD19 and see if I got another surge but on CD15 my boobs felt a bit tender but I thought 'naaa, prob nothing' but yesterday and today they've increased and feel heavier and tender so I am thinking 'hmmm, do I trust my body signals above temps and OPKs?'

I honestly feel like you very likely did ovulate earlier this cycle, that test really looked positive to me, just my opinion but I would go ahead and start the progesterone, good luck

After cd13 you had a temp spike, and even though they went down just a tad you have another little spike, I would say that you have o'd and that you should start the progesterone. I haven't looked at your opk's, I will look now and come back.
Hugs!!

Looking at the OPK's I would say you did O. That one was so close to positive! I bet you just barely missed your LH surge.

Me personally, I would start the progesterone. Your temps are up around your normal post O area and that OPK was so close to being positive that I think you likely just missed your peak slightly. I'm pretty certain that you did ovulate.

Thanks! I agree (based on my poor sore boobs) but needed to have it confirmed by you lot who know this stuff well My temp was only 36.66 this morn but again you got time differences and I did order a new battery for my themometre that didn't arrive before the holiday but is here now, I just tested my themometre this morn (after taking the first temp and after getting up) by taking it three times in a row and it was 36.03, 36.89 and 36.99!
New battery? 37.24 and 37.22. I've been wondering for a while whether my temps were a bit funny cos of the battery! I know shouldn't switch mid-cycle but at this point its not too important post-ov. Be interesting what it is tomorrow morning!
You know, sometimes I have felt really hot - almost sweating - and taken my temp expecting 'oh yeah, this'll be high' then it wasn't! LOL
