Charters/temp takers, WDYT?

UGH- I had EWCM and a +OPK on CD15. I SHOULD have seen a thermal shift. NOPE. My temps have been on a steady decline since.

I've started using OPKs again as I am ASSUMING I geared up to but never Oed. I am also assuming that BFing is what is causing this delay in O. I had some EWCM again today, but a -OPK.

So much for a New Years BFP.....

Re: Charters/temp takers, WDYT?

Sometimes you get a dip before the rise - I always do. If you tested early. you may have a little more time before you ovulate. I once tested with an OPK late at night and when I went for an IUI the next day, the follicle hadnt released anything yet because I must have tested at the earliest possible time I could have surged.

Re: Charters/temp takers, WDYT?

Yeah- I've always dipped on the day of O, then had a quick rise. This is my first cycle actually temping since having DD. Also- my temps were NEVER this low. I always had pre-O temps that were between 97.1 and 97.5.

I know that BFing can mess with the hormones- I just didn't realize it could mess with them THIS much.

Last month I didn't temp, but DID use OPKs. I got a +, but now wonder if I ever actually Oed.

Ugh- so frustrating..... Thanks for the response Leslie....
