You definitely could have geared up to o a few days ago but never released the egg, and now your body is trying again - happens to almost everyone at least once or twice. That's one of the biggest reasons to temp, you could see that temps didn't look like you o'd so you knew to keep testing! And when o fails for whatever reason the body usually tries again in about 3-5 days, so that sounds right.

And no worries about af coming too soon for implantation - when af arrives is determined by when you o, the luteal phase will stay consistent even if the cycle day of o changes.

Hope you see your temps rise in a couple days, and catch that egg!

Thank you YarnLady. You really helped ease my mind. I'm hoping we can still catch this egg...if my body decides to release it... and I appreciate you explaining to me about AF not flushing the egg. I was actually really worried about that because I have a kinda short leutal phase anyways (11 days). Good luck to you too!

Thanks so much! I'm glad it eased your mind, ttc is stressful enough without all the extra crazy our bodies sometimes throw at us! I've got a lot of experience with delayed o at this point, so I'm glad it can benefit someone ;-) (currently cd 58 and counting, body's geared up for o at least 5 times so far - hoping it gets it right soon!).

eta: I just checked your chart and saw you got your temp spike, yay!!
