Hello ladies! It just so happens that the first month I actually TTC in years and not just temp to prevent, my body decided to do things differently. 
I was initially just going to ask a BBT question, but, I figured I should give the full story in case it helps.
Please read in full so you can give me your best input!
Let's start with my OPK issues. It never really got dark. I have a very short surge though, last cycle I got a dark positive in the evening and all negatives thereafter.

I tested a few times afterwards and they were negative and they began to get a second line again so I just stopped testing in order to not do my head in. lol.
Anyway, as you can see, it looks like I may have had my surge overnight, hence the darker line on the evening of CD13 and morning of CD14. I got all my O symptoms that I usually get. EWCM was not really there this time though, I did manage to get some by checking internally, it could have been other stuff...but whatever. It was a particularly strong O. I even got nausea and loss of appetite which I usually don't get. I was quite miserable on CD14 and very irritable also.
This is my chart so far, I'm now on CD18:

So on to the questionable things. My temps. Everything was fine and dandy until CD14. That night I slept very little,I went to bed late (at almost 11, when my usual bestime is 8). I usually get loss of sleep close to O time every month, so it wasn't a surprise. Not even zzzquil helped.
I can't say exactly how much I slept, but I got up to the toilet one time with diarrhea (totally abnormal) and had interrupted sleep thereafter. I took my temp at 5:00AM on CD15, I usually wake between 4AM and 5AM, never later than 5. Temp was 97.99 F. That night I slept better, got up again at 1:30AM with the same toilet issue and took my temp at 4:00AM on CD16 and it was 97.16 F. It looks like I may have a fallback rise, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to be certain.
Today's temp is the one that has me questioning everything. Last night I made it to bed at my usual 8:00PM and was asleep by 9. I woke up at 12:30AM the morning of CD18 (today) to toilet and apparently had no pants on and light blanket over me, which isn't my usual. It's winter and I'm up north, the house was very cold (60-65F). I took my temp because I wasn't sure how I was gonna sleep after and it was 96.78F. I went back to bed, put pants on and big blanket on (as other nights), had a couple of wakings between then and wake time, but I didn't get up. I took temp for the second time at 5:00AM and got 97.82F
So today I'm like
Based on all the info I provided, what temperature would you log for today? This is my biggest concern right now. I provided all the extra info to give a clear picture, so hopefully that helps 
My usual wake time is between 4:00AM and 5:00AM sometimes even 3:30AM and I always just temp at the time I wake up for the day and only once. Some nights are restless, some are not and it hasn't really affected my patterns in the last few months I've been temping. So I went ahead and used the second temp because it is my norm and so whatever lol. I'm annoyed. I should have just taken my temp once.
I'm confuuuuuused!
