Can you tell me what the red dots around some of your temperatures means? Also, were you charting all those signs between CD6 and CD 13 and just didn't have them, or did you start making note of those signs later in your cycle? Do you take your temperature at the same time every day? Taking your temperature at different times can make it more difficult to see your temperature pattern because your body gradually gets warmer around the time you wake up, so you're likely to get cooler readings earlier and warmer readings later. It's totally normal to have your first chart look a little confusing. It's hard to pinpoint when you might have ovulated because the temperature and CM signs are not lining up the way they normally do.

Do you remember the spotting on CD 18 and 19? Was it mixed with stretchy mucus? When you mark S for Slippery, is it that you can feel a little bit there when you wipe, or was it like there was a lot of mucus making you very slick? For sensations (I mark chart visual observations and sensations for greater clarity), I use D for dry if I am absolutely dry, like friction when I wipe. I use N for nothing if there is no friction but I don't really feel anything either. I use M for non-specific mucus if I can feel enough slip to know that there is something there, and I use Sl for Slippery if I wipe, and it feels like I am covered in lube. In this case, I would often have to wipe more than once to get it all. For M and Sl, I take the TP out and look at it.. Is it yellow, white, cloudy, clear, stretchy, tacky, creamy, sticky, or just a bit of shiny on the TP? Is there any chance that it is seminal residue at least some of the time?

It's hard to tell exactly when you ovulated because of the non-standard temperature rise and not appearing to dry up around the time that you ovulated, but I think that your charting program's guess is a good one. This confusion is likely from learning how to chart. Even for people who are technically doing everything right, it seems to generally take most people a couple cycles to get some normal looking charts. It could be that it's hard to know on your first cycle what is working when you haven't seen for yourself how a chart develops for your own body or even just that the stress of learning how to chart throws things off at first until you become more comfortable.

As for the slow temperature decline you have seen in the past few days, I would not be worried about that at all. Your temperature is still at about "normal" temperature, 98.6F, and your temperature is still far above your cover line. I can't tell you from your chart if you are pregnant or not yet, but don't be too worried about it. If your period is starting, you'll likely see a huge drop down. Until that happens, you're still in the game.
 
   Oh, and I wouldn't worry too much about cervical position right now as it can change from your "normal" if you're pregnant.  If you don't get that BFP this cycle, then try checking it again after your period and through ovulation. I bet you'll be able to figure things out better then.
