Temp says yes, but body says no? (x-posted)

If you look at my chart, it looks as though I O'd on CD 15. I started getting EWCM that day, but no + OPK. DH and I BD'd that day. Then, yesterday, I got a + OPK, but it was just barely + and I still had EWCM. DH and I didn't get to BD. This morning I got a BLARING + OPK, globs of EWCM and O pains, but my temp has already spiked.

I don't know what to go off of. Usually it is pretty cut and dry for me. I get wet CM, then EWCM, then wet and + OPK's to back it up on all 3 days, then a spike and my cervix goes LFC. This time, I have had EWCM, EWCM, EWCM, - OPK, barely + OPK and blaring + OPK, but my temp has already spiked while everything else still shows as fertile.

Any advice? Also, I should mention that this morning I had a TERRIBLE headache and yesterday had DD in bed with me, but IDK if either of those things could effect my temp so much.

That's kinda tough! The only thing I can see is that even though it spiked, it isn't above 97.8 which I think confirms ovulation. I know that isn't necessary for you to have actually O'ed but *maybe* today really IS O day? How frustrating! I forgot how annoying charting can be! Here's my chart when TTC Seth and mine kinda did that... http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/index.php

I have no idea. Sorry.

BTW: Your siggy is gorgeous!

Looking at your chart, my gut tells me you may be O'ing today so get that BD in if you can! It appears your body kinda revved up to O but didn't, and is trying again. That happened often to me when I was charting. I'd rev up around CD14-15 but not O until CD17-18.

THanks for the input! I really thought O was yesterday because my CM dried up, then this morning woke up with a low temp and blaring positive OPK, and had some EWCM this morning. My cervix feels weird though, its low and firm but the opening is kind of...floppy feeling. I don't know how else to describe it. I hope I O today. I am going to be really sad if all of this end up to be nothing.

What brand opk are you using? i found the kind you buy in store tend to be too sensitive and give too many positives. I recommend ICs.

My cervix did the SAME THING. was never high soft and open. It was more like a low squashy donut.

I usually use IC's but ran out, and I am using the Answer strips. I HATE them.

I don't know, I just have a feeling I may not even O this month. I am just stressing myself out too much. I have 1 OPK left and once that is gone, I am not getting anymore. At least not for this cycle. I just want to relax and let things happen, so I am going to try my best to do that for the rest of this cycle. I don't even have any HPTs in the house, which NEVER happens and I want to try to wait until at least 11 DPO to get any... We'll see!
