Hi ladies,
Just curious if anyone has any advice for me. I think (hope) I ovulated two days ago. I had a positive OPK and a ferning pattern in my saliva. I also had the expected CM and lots of it (tmi). Then yesterday my breasts started aching a little as is usual for me post-o. I was expecting my temp to go up this morning, because it did yesterday.
My son woke me up at 4am (I went to bed around 11pm) by crying, before settling himself back to sleep. I temped, because I didn't know if I would get back to sleep and my temp had gone up to 36.33, which would be consistent with post-o temp rise. However, I went back to sleep and woke again at 6:15 and temped again - this time the temp had plumeted to 36.02 (my O-dip temperature). My question is, which temp do I trust? Is it normal for lack of sleep to make your temperature dip lower? I heard somewhere that after ovulation it can make it lower and before ovulation can make your temperature higher, but does anyone know for sure?
I'm a bit worried, because I have quite irregular ovulation and sometimes it looks like my body is trying to ovulate (temp dip, then spike, then back to low temps again - never with a positive OPK though) and then doesn't. I worry my hormones aren't right Also, today I don't have the breast soreness I had yesterday...as if yesterday I had some progesterone, but now today....
I know I'll find out for sure tomorrow, but I'm dwelling on it tonight. Any experience with this sort of thing?
I put the higher temp into FF, as even though it was earlier, it was after 5 hours sleep rather than 2. If my temp is really low again tomorrow then I'll change today's to the lower one.
Thanks ladies!!!
