So, I think I've come to the conclusion that I did not ovulate on CD 25/26 as previously thought. I had O twinges CD 23/24/25/26 and my temperatures started to go up but they didn't keep going up. Then I started getting EWCM and today I'm having definite cramping. So I'm thinking I'm Oing today (I'll have to wait to see if I get a temp rise). But why did my temps start to go up? And why have I been having O pains for over a week? And why am I getting substantial EWCM for the first time since bc (which was a year and a half ago)?
Mainly I'm curious about my temps - any thoughts?
I have gone from being 5/6 DPO to maybe not even in the 2WW...

I get what I call a tingly abdomen for a little over a week before I o....I don't really call it o pain though but it is a sharp pinch now and then. I guess everyone is different with this. Maybe you were getting ready to o and your body just changed its mind? Did you have any stress that may have delayed o? Unfortunately stuff like this is beyond our direct control. I personally think your chart looks like you oed on CD25.

It's interesting that you are having those dry days in between EWCM. I have read that EWCM after ovulation can occur and it doesn't mean you didn't ovulate. Typically (or "ideally" or "what they say should happen but rarely happens perfectly") your ovulate on either your last day of fertile CM or the day after your last day of fertile CM. If that is the standard, it is possible you ovulated today or yesteday.

If you look at the temps from CD 14 and back, your temp increase really is just putting you closer to those temps. It's not a super dramatic shift in temperature, and your coverline seems set a bit low. So it is possible you haven't Oed yet or you are just about to O.

Do you typically get those cramps? I think you probably know your body better than the chart know your body. If you think you were Oing yesterday, I bet you probably were. There are aspects of your chart that would support that.

I've babbled long enough without giving a real answer.

Thank you for your opinions!
I know there is nothing I can do but sit back and wait. It is just really frustrating. I didn't have anything that would have delayed Oing. My EWCM peaked on Saturday, yesterday it was still stretchy but not as clear. I changed my Sunday temp to one that was taken earlier in the am. And my CD 27 and 28 temps were taken later then usual so that could be why they were higher. No explanation for CD 30.
Okay, I'm done ranting...
Anyway, thank you both!
