We cant see your chart hun

ok, i changed my settings. can see it now?

Your chart looks great, you ovulated cd 9 rather than cd 8, but you need a few more days of temps to confirm ovulation, have you tried charting on ff, I find it mor accurate

Oh thank you Clairelou81! I still have no idea what I'm looking at! haha, I do have a chart on FF, but still have no idea what it means. I'll be taking my temps still but should I stop taking opk's now? uhg!

Without knowing if your OPK was truly positive, I don't think you have O'd yet, to be honest. I've been charting and temping for several years now, and for a clear temperature shift, you need at least 3 temperatures above your coverline, which you don't have. I think that's a good thing though - because O'ing early can be just as bad as O'ing late and may require RE intervention. How long are your cycles typically? If you O'd at cd8/9, you're looking at 22/23 day cycles which indicates a problem. OPK's don't actually detect ovulation, they only detect an LH surge, and LH can surge several times during your cycle, with the largest surge causing the follicle to finally release the egg. Just make sure to keep temping at the same time every day, before any big movements, and after a minimum of 3-4 hours of solid rest. Once you have that temp shift of at least .5 a degree and for 3 consecutive days, then you have successfully O'd. Hope this helps!!

I would keep BDing. That doesn't look like a confirmed O to me. But I only just started charting two months ago. I think generally the positive OPK is approx day before o. Obviously, even still, we are all not the same. I think you should maybe keep using OPKs for a bit, just in case,
