Did I ovulate this month? Why did temps increase?

Ok, so my chart is really wacky this month
and I don't know what to attribute it to.
So fertility friend has not given me cross
hairs for ovulation yet. I got a positive
opk on Saturday. On Friday it was pretty
close to positive, but the line was still
lighter than the test line. Sunday when I
tested, I got a line, but it wasn't
positive either. So I only marked the one
positive.
I didn't really keep track of cm this
month which I should have because now the
chart is all messed up.
I have had really strange temps this
month. Right before I got the positive
opk I had higher than usual pre o temps.
Then after I got the positive on the opk I
have had unusually low post o temps. I
think that is why FF is not giving me
cross hairs. I have even gone ahead a
couple days and added fake temps that are
well above my ususal post o temps to see
if it will do it and it won't.
So I don't know what to think. Maybe I
really didn't o this month? But if thats
the case, why are my temps close to post o
temps?
I had a thermometer problem earlier. When
I went on my trip I took my bbt with me
and didn't have any problems. When I came
home I couldn't find my thermometer so I
used my regular thermometer instead. I
used it for Thursday, Friday and
Saturdayand Sunday. I found it on Sunday
and I have been using that since.
Does anyone think that because of the cold
temps outside that it could have an effect
on my temp. We don't have to sleep with
our heat on yet. Its still like 68 in our
house at night.
Please take a look and let me know what
you think...

I looked at it this morning. I can't look
at it right now though. So, I'm going off
memory.
For some reason, I really thought you o'ed
yesterday. (is that the day your temp
spiked).
Thermometers will totally throw off your
chart. Two seperate thermometers even the
same make, will give you two different
temps. And using a regular thermometer
would throw it off even more.
I would go off your positive opk. That is
a pretty good 'constant'. And you know you
can o within 3 days +/-. So, your bd
pattern looks pretty good (excellent
actually).
I'll have to look at it agian when I get
home and make sure I sill agree with what
I thought this morning. I was confused on
mine as well, so I blame it on being
early. lol.

Well I started to put in some cm results
of what I remembered, and it wanted to
show that I oed on Monday. So maybe I did
and the opk just showed it early. That is
only 48 hours after I got my positive.
And yes Becky we did bd on Friday and
Saturday morning. We didn't bd last
night, but I am going to see if hes up to
it tonight just to round it out.
I also am going to use another opk today,
just to ease my mind to know that I really
got a positive on Saturday.
I am also going to go out and buy another
bbt thermometer if af shows. Mine was
making weird beeps at me yesterday.
We shall see.

I hope so.
Today I have been having weird cramping on
and off. When i was taking my bra off
last night, my nips were more sensitive
than usual (could be ovulation tenderness
- even though I have never had it)
Also I have had so much cm its not even
funny. Its kinda in between creamy and
egg white. I don't know what to make of
that other than we are going to bd
tonight.
Hopefully I have already ovulated, and
this will be for good measure...

Hi Heather
I'm with Christy on this one. They say to
use the same thermometer throughout the
whole process. Fertility Friend has a
whole section on it. So that is probably
why your temps are wonky.
I'm so done with the temping...it's so
stressful. Since you have a regular cycle,
once you pinpoint when you normally
ovulate, you can just rely on your OPK's
to tell you the exact day. So if you
normally ovulate on cd13, start the opks
on cd10 and don't worry so much about the
temps.
Also, I've said it before, I'll say it
again...those digital OPK's are awesome
because you never have to second guess if
the line is dark enough. The digital opk
gives you a happy face when it's time. I
never ever got a positive on the internet
cheapies, but got a strong positive every
month on the digital ones. Also, its very
important to hold your pee for 4 hrs.

If there is no line. I'd be pretty sure
you o'ed yesterday. (again, from what I
remember)
I'd still bd tonight just to cover your
bases.
Maybe, what you are feeling is the
progesterone surge. Maybe, it's a good
sign that you are feeling it this month as
opposed to previous months.

What is it that I would be feeling with a
progesterone surge, and why do I want to
feel it now as opposed to any other
month.
I don't know anything about that

Progesterone is the hormone that our body
produces during the second part of our
monthly cycle (after ovulation). This is
also the hormone that is responsible for
the rise in temperature that shows us that
we have ovulated.
Progesterone is responsible for both pms
and early pregnancy symptoms. It is also
the hormone that supports early
pregnancy.
So, maybe you have higher progesterone
this month (maybe a stonger o?) and that
is why you are feeling the sensitive
nipples and have increased discharge. Are
you feeling fatiqued at all?

I am extreemly tired, but I can't count
that.
I worked out at the gym (first time in
FOREVER) and I was up until midnight
watching my Steelers crush the Ravens.
So Im just tired because of that I think

I really have no idea. I put the game on
there where people can predict the
ovulation. So you take a look and let me
know. Cause I have no clue. This is a
crazy month
