Hey ladies,
I have been charting my temps last month and this month and am in my 2ww. This is my first non medicated month so last month I ovulated and my temps went up to 98.6 or so and did the usual biphasic thing but I was on progesterone so that kicked me up there. This month I got a positive OPK, did and IUI the next day and my temps went from a 97.3 to a 97.9 in those 4 days from the morning of the IUI in Monday to Thursday. ( I forgot to temp on Wednesday so it may have been a 97.9 too. I don't know. Anyway, this morning I got a 97.3 again and I'm a little confused about whether or not I actually ovulated with my LH surge or if I somehow didn't actually release an egg and I just had a temp spike on Thursday. I have also been a little cold the past two days becausey dogs keep steeling my blankets but I don't know if that would affect it.
Any advice or thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks!

That being said, what you are looking for is an increase of at least 1/2 a degree from the first half of your cycle. I'd say the initial jump, combined with a positive OPK, is a great indicator of ovulation. An occasional drop in the last half is pretty normal, I think, at least for me. Which is one reason I stopped temping. I'd get so down on those days and I felt like I was living from one morning to the next.
There are also a lot of factors that affect your BBT - no blankets could definitely have an affect, as well as being sick or not sleeping well.
Hope this helps!
