Did I ovulate already? Calling all chart experts to help!!

[shudknow]

I have no idea whether I ovulated already. My only reliable sign that I look for every month is CM but considering DH and I BDed pretty often, I couldn't tell the difference between semen and CM. Based on my temps, however, FF says that I ovulated on CD14 putting me at 4DPO today. If this were true, I exactly bought OPKs on CD15 to test because I felt I was ovulating on that day but it turned out to be negative and so did everyday after that. Today, I got up an hour early than I usually do and the room was cooler than most days, so I got a temp of 97.3. When I entered this along with the time, FF says that I ovulated though this temp is below my coverline. I am very confused and I have long cycles so it is going to be a long wait for AF!!

can somebody offer any advice that can help me out? My fear is that I haven't ovulated yet and I am having an anovulatory cycle and that's why the crazy temps. For the record, FF was never wrong for me before this and has always given me correct dates!

Hi! I also havce long cycles and FF has given me crosshairs before to just take them away again.

Looking at your chart, I would think if your temp is up again tomorrow you may have ovulated already.

As for the OPKs they can be negative after ovulation so I wouldn't rely on them. Let us know how your temps go tomorrow and good luck!!

Thanks for your reply, Lirpa11.

I got a very low temp today, 96.9 but then I slept only for 3 hours and woke up am hour earlier than my usual time. I adjusted the temp to 97.1 and I expected that FF will take my crosshairs away but it did not. I am hoping and waiting for any other post-ov signs to confirm if I did ovulate but nothing! I feel very normal but hell a lot confused!!

Temps are going down since three days now and I am surprised that FF is not taking the crosshairs away. According to FF, I am 6dpo now. I have tested for 5 days straight and my OPKs are all coming out to be negative. I am very confused. I dont know what to think of it - if I did ovulate or not? Even if I ovulated, I have no idea why my temps are going down. I tried to feel my cervix as well - it always feels high and a bit soft but with no EWCM. I have creamy CM since about 4-5 days now, not a lot but it is creamy. Apart from that, no signs at all! And for the record, these are the lowest my temps have ever been and I have never experienced this before with my charts. My biggest fear is I am having an anovulatory cycle and that's why the crazy range of temps.

I will tremendously appreciate if someone can shed some light into what's going on? This will help me in timing BD if I havent ovulated yet.

bump for replies..

The dotted lines mean it is questioning your crosshairs another day or two of low terms and they will likely be removed sorry. I think I had 3-4 days of low temps before Ff took them away. My temps weren't even that high when ff gave me cross hairs.

Thanks again Lirpa11 for replying Seems like you are the only one who is reading my post

Today, my temp went up from yesterday by about 0.3 degrees. I know one temp does not mean anything. But, I am going to continue to take temps for the next few days to determine what exactly is going on. Oh and yes, another negative OPK today. At this point, I am beginning to feel that FF may be right after all but who knows, this is all a mystery to me though I have charted for 2 years and this hasnt happened to me before

Meanwhile, it will be great if others on here can also comment on my chart. Thanks!
