First time temping- did I ovulate yet?

[saralap5]

Hi everyone,

I've been using OPKs for several months now but this is my first cycle temping. I do it first thing in the morning usually between 6:45-7:15am. I got a +OPK on Wednesday at CD12, so I'm guessing I may have ovulated yesterday. I also had a streak of blood in the EWCM CD11 (first time I've noticed this) However, I didn't see any spike in my temp today. My CM has changed from EWCM to more creamy/less stretchy.

We are hoping to skip BD'ing today and do it one more time tomorrow (CD15), but I'm nervous I could be ovulating today and don't want to miss it.

Advice is appreciated!!

youll need a few more days of high temps to confirm

Should I have had the temp spike today though if I did in fact ovulate yesterday?

not if youre a slow riser or will have a fallback rise

Thanks, I guess I'll see what my temp is tomorrow and go from there.

Here is today's craziness! According to my OPKs, normal cycle, and CM I should be able 3-4 DPO now. Yesterday I felt warm when I woke up and today I woke up cold.. could that have anything to do with it? I'm just hoping I ovulated!

I would say since you had the +OPK & then a spike that's most likely when you O'd but since it's your first month temping it might take a couple months to really see what your body is like. I have only been temping for 3 months and each one looks slightly different. If you oral temp it is also effected by what you eat/drink/if you're temping at the same time/sleep with your mouth open, etc. So there are a lot of variables, but it at least (to me) looks like a confirmed O date maybe somewhere around the 12th -14th day. Baby dust to you!
