(This is a long read, sorry in advance! lol)
I'm so confused on when I actually O'd this month. I use BBT, OPKs, CM, and CP to help determine my potential O date. I have a cycle length that averages 35 days, with AF lasting about 3-4 days each time.
I was sick with bronchitis for a large portion of the month, hence rocky temps. Cold meds and fevers really screwed me up!
The problem is that my OPKs predicted ovulation on or around CD17, as did my CM and CP. You can see from my chart (below) that I showed signs of fertility around then, too, such as CP SHO and fertile CM.
Despite those signs, the BBT apps I've been using keep telling me I O'd on CD 23 or 24. You can see on the chart that the fertile signs stopped, cervix closed, CM changed too. So it doesn't make sense to me that I'd O on that day when all the signs indicated it was 5 or 6 days earlier.
Now I'm trying to determine when to actually take an HPT. Should I test tomorrow, which would be 14dpo using CD17 as my O date? Or do I wait another week and test based on the suggestion from FF and C2P?
And how do I track symptoms or keep an eye out for signs of implantation? Today my CM is abundant, CP is VERY soft, medium to high, and closed. Some forums say that's a good sign for pregnancy IF it occurs after 10dpo, but if I go by my BBT I'm only 7dpo today. UGH!
I'd appreciate your thoughts/feedback on this issue!
Here's my chart so far, which starts on CD1 and goes to CD30:
