Any idea what’s going on with my chart? I got a positive opk on the 12th. My temps don’t seem to be rising correctly enough for a cover line though. Does this mean I didn’t ovulate?

Question

Answer

So a couple things might be happening here. 
1) you may not be temping correctly. Are you doing it with a BBT thermometer at the same time (or within 45 min of it) every single day? You also have to do it RIGHT when you wake up after at least 3 hours of sleep. Don’t get up, don’t roll around, don’t do anything before you temp. Don’t want to sound condescending! There’s just a lot of bad info floating around about how to temp and I did it wrong and wasted my time for way too long. 
2) you may have had an LH spike which caused the positive OPK, but your body didn’t actually successfully ovulate. If this is the case, you should see another “fertile period” later in your cycle with EWCM and even possibly another positive opk. This is when your body is trying to ovulate again, and if it succeeds and you temp correctly you should see a real temp rise! (3 days above the temps for the prior 6 days) 
Hope this helps!

Answer

Yes that is what it means if you’re temping accurately. Keep BDing until temps confirm o
