Unless you have a genetic history of twins in your family, you're taking ovarian stimulants, or you are of increased age with a history of PCOS, it's very very unlikely to be a double ovulation.
Fall back temps, on the other hand, are very common and occur due to a 'mismatch' in the LH spike (which causes a progesterone spike), estrogen falling, and progesterone rising. Progesterone is pulsatile, which means that it spikes at certain times of day. We take BBT generally the same time in the morning every month, but that's not necessarily when progesterone spikes every month.
I experienced consistent fall back temps, and earlier this year I saw evidence (after an ultrasound at '3dpo') that my corpus luteum wasn't forming when I thought it should (in a textbook case). Despite having all of the cramping associated with ovulation and a big temperature rise, my follicle only looked as though it was just about to erupt.
I started Metformin, and sure enough the fallback temps have disappeared. I ovulate earlier and more clearly than ever before.
Your first temp rise is at your coverline, Ruskiegirl. I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in the jumps, but really what you are looking at is a huge dive, not a huge jump. The huge dive is due to estrogen not being matched by progesterone. So, probably you had a good group of competing follicles. Then LH started surging, then you ovulated.
Of course, the only way of knowing would have been a properly timed ultrasound and/or giving birth to fraternal twins in 9 months. It's only important to be realistic about potential causes of subfertility. Otherwise, I wouldn't really pay too much attention to the temps.
