Hey guys, I thought I had ovulated 2 days ago based on OPKs and I got my temp rise, but today (2dpo) it dropped right back down. I retook the temp to be sure, it was accurate. My room feels pretty cold but I don’t think it’d make my temp drop that much... thoughts?

One of the best pieces of charting advice I ever read was to look at the overall pattern rather than individual data points. There can be a lot of factors impacting on a single temp, so like you say your room was colder so it could just be that. There are also various hormone fluctuations as the progesterone (which is the warming hormone) takes over during the TWW which can cause shifts.
So don’t worry too much about a single temp but wait a few days and look at the overall pattern.
I’m also well aware it’s easier said than done and I never take my own advice, I constantly obsess over everything when I’m TTC
