Waiting on O

[JerseyGirl16]

Hi everyone... Well, today is cd 18 for me. Just hanging out, waiting on an O. I finally had a positive OPK on Friday, but as of today, no temp rise. Frustrating... I was really surprised that I didn't have a temp rise this morning (Sunday am).

My temps look a little more erratic than normal because of illness this month and lack of sleep. But here is the link if anyone is interested. I really hope O is still imminent and that it wasn't an anovulatory cycle...

Hi there: Don't give up yet! With a ++OPK on Friday, you could ovulate today, with a temp rise tomorrow (so BMS today if you haven't already). Also, if your temp on cd 14 was artificially high, then it's possible that you did have a .1 degree rise today (so, it could be a slow rise pattern, with the coverline drawn right through the temp that is the rise).

Good luck and let us know what tomorrow's temp is. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it's above 97.3!

Thanks Maura - Still 97.3 today. We did BMS yesterday, just in case.

Everything really had seemed to line up for me this month in terms of O on Saturday. Positive OPK on Friday (which actually was starting to get darker on Thursday night), lots of EWCM, that sort of full, heavy feeling and little pains. I am really bumming about these temps.

Hi there: Ach... too bad it didn't go higher than 97.3 ... still, I'm not ruling out that slow rise pattern. Some women take a while to heat up from the progesterone. You should know for sure over the next few days ... ideally, your temp should go up above 97.3 tomorrow and stay there. In the meantime, I would keep BMSing, if not every day then every other day just in case that OPK was a false positive and you have yet to O. It would be a shame to throw in the towel just to have a surprise temp rise now!

Good luck and keep us posted++++++++++++

Beth,

How are things going for YOU? How are your temps? Did ole "O" show up?

Hang in there!

LAMom - thanks so much for asking.

I really do feel like I O'd - as I said below, all of my signs pointed to Saturday, but I didn't get a rise until Tuesday. However, after I added my temp for today (Wed), FF did indicate O on Sat!! With a slow rise pattern I guess?

Maura - what do you think?

Anyway, my CM is a little sticky right now, so definitely not EW anymore. I guess only time will tell! But, if FF can be believed, I am 4dpo.

Hi Beth!

Glad to see your temps did go up over 97.3 the next day. I agree with FF that it looks like O was on Saturday. If your temps don't stay above 97.3 now, then start BMSing again, but otherwise looks to me like you are in the 2ww!

Good luck and keep us posted+++++++++++
