When did I ovulate?! (chart attached)

[amo4piano]

Hi All!

AF was due yesterday. I have never had a leutal phase longer than 14 days and today is 14 dpo. I'm tired, my breasts are sore, I'm cramping and I have slight headaches. Some of these things are also PMS, yes, but along with the PMS symptoms, I usually see a massive temp dip (below coverline) at least one FULL day before AF arrives. You'll see that my temp did dip this morning, but no where near the coverline.

I am skeptical of the O date given on my chart. Anyone think i could have ovulated day 16 instead of day 13?? I am PRAYING and HOPING so! I had a BFN today, but I'm still hanging onto hope that my O date was wrong and I tested a few days too early.

Please check out my chart and let me know honestly if you think I still have a chance or not!

Do you have any more info on your CM or cervical position? It would help clarify if you had more signs to cross check with. But, even without that, I'd put your ovulation day at day 16.  I studied NFP and have always learned that you need 3 temperatures to be above the previous six and then you set a low temperature level at the highest of the pre-shift 6 (so in your case, days 11-16 are the preshift six.  I'd shave the day 14 and 15 temps down to 97.2, where the next highest temps are) and the high temperature .4 degrees above that (so, for you that would be 97.6).  Days 17,18, and 19 would be the first 3 of the post-shift spike and they are all above the .4 degree shift necessary.  Days 20-22 dip a bit, which could be just normal fluctuations or if you changed the temp of the room, when you took your temps or anything like that, or it could be some fluctuations in progesterone.  But otherwise, the temps are above the high temperature level. So, I think you ovulated on day 16 and are now 11dpo.  Hope that helps (and made sense!).

THANK YOU!!! i've been checking this every 5 minutes hoping for a reply! :) i thought day 16, too (although, not based on so much knowledge--just based on a gut feeling. you are very knowledgable!).

I do record all of my cervical fluid on the charts. Sadly, i do not have much of it :( I used to have regular EWCM leading up to ovulation (i could set my watch to it!) until I had my miscarriage and now i just do not have much fluid at all of any type. that, compounded with low mobility for DH, is making the whole process pretty difficult for us lately. And i don't check cervical position (not really sure how to do that).

I so appreciate your input. i think tomorrow's temp will really tell the story since i usually get the AF dip around this time (9-11 dpo-ish). i am hoping for a RISE and not a DIP. we'll see!

THANKS AGAIN :)

I would agree with the pp. I think you Oed on CD16. Let us know how it turns out!
