Hi all,
I am new to this forum but thought that I would register for some support and guidance through this journey of ttc!
My husband and I have been trying for 4 months now to conceive baby #1. For the past 2 months I have been using OPK. Last month, I had a super unsual period for me, but alas, no baby! So this month I began using the OPK again and also started charting my temp. I got a bit of the stomach flu for 3-4 days and I think this may have thrown my temps off as I had a peak of 37.6 degrees celsius on Monday but did not get my positive OPK until Wednesday. The next day (Thursday) my bbt was 37 degrees (most of the other days during my cycle it has been between 36.2-36.7). Since Thursday my temp has been 36.9 - today is Saturday.
So to recap, I had a stomach flu over the weekend. My temp was 37.6 for 2 days, last being Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday my temp was 36.2 and I got positive OPK Wednesday. Thursday my temp went back up to 37, Friday and Saturday my bbt was 36.9.
My question is - as I had my positive OPK Wednesday I would expect to have ovulated sometime between then and Friday. Considering my regular temp has been around 36.2-36.7, is 37 and 36.9 a big enough temp. increase to suggest ovulation? I have been waiting for a bigger jump in temperature than that but I think it would be too late for me to ovulate now! As its already 3 days post positive OPK!
I guess part of me is also worried that I didn't ovulate this month. This is my first month charting so if any experienced charters out there could help me with this, pls let me know. Also, because I had the flu for a few days I am worried this threw off ovulation.
Any feedback is welcomed!!
Thanks everyone,
K
