Confused! Temp way up but bleeding?

[hope4alittle]

Hi girls,

We've been ttc for 7 years now... long story.

I've been charting the last 4 months and I'm having a very unusual month, could anyone help shed some light? My temps plummeted down on 8 and 9 dpo to below coverline, shot up 0.5 degrees 10 dpo, plummeted below coverline again on 11 dpo, and back up 0.75 degrees today (12 dpo). My chart looks like it has a huge W in it.

Despite my temp shooting up really high today, I had some scant bleeding after DH and I had sex this morning and I thought it's the start of AF. It was accompanied by some cramping. I'm not due for another 3-4 days but I thought maybe since my temps were so erratic, it was just a weird month hormonally. But the bleeding was hardly anything at all and it stopped.

I confirmed O using temping and CBFM, and also CM.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause these drastic fluctuations, and why AF would start despite a huge temp jump? Thank you so much in advance for any insight, I'm driving myself crazy wondering what is going on!

Here's my chart.

Hello Hope,
Is your temp still high? You have a nice ovulation spike so I am guessing the drops are just random.

Thank you for your reply! Im 14 dpo today and my temp just came down, along with some spotting so I think AF will be here tomorrow in full force. This was a very confusing month for me with temps up and down so erratic. Maybe next month will bring better news.
