I posted in my intro a little about my TTC history, so instead of repeating it you can go back and look at my first post.
Moving onto my question, this is my first cycle using Clomid. My doctor started me on a low dose (50mg). This is also my first cycle to get a positive OPK. However, I'm on CD 22 and still don't know if I ovulated or if I'm going to.
This cycle I am using Walgreens Daily Ovulation Predictor Test Strips and Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation tests. From CD 15-18 I got a flashing smiley face on my Clearblue, but the test line on my test strips were lighter than the control line (some days looked like they were possibly the same darkness). On CD 19 I got a solid smiley face and my test line on my test strip was noticeably darker than the control this time. CD 20, I could not retake the digital (48 hour wait), but again my cheapy test strip's test line was very dark. CD 21 and 22 I'm still getting dark lines, and my saliva is still ferning, but my Clearblue is now just a circle. I rely more on the cheapy tests though than the digital so it's not too much of a concern for me.
My biggest question is my temps. This is my first cycle temping [almost] every single day. I'm just going to post a picture of my chart instead of trying to explain my temps, but my confusion in all of this is, if my temp rose almost an entire degree in the last 24 hours, is that a sign of ovulation, even if the temp was my average at the beginning of my cycle? I'm so confused by temping!!!
