Does this mean I have a literal phase defect? Was supposed to start AF today but clearly ovulated on CD 26 but temps are plummeting

Question

Answer

It's normal to get a secondary estrogen surge between 2dpo and 5dpo. I think if you discard your cd24 temp, FF might redraw your coverline closer to 97.9
Your temps will likely climb back up over the next few days or spike up tomorrow. If they continue to decline though. I would start using opks again.

Answer

If af hasn't arrived yet then perhaps your temps will go back up. Temping isn't always reliable - so many things can effect it.

Answer

You ovulated cd23 not 26, the green window is way off. Your luteal phase needs to be 10-12 days minimum for implantation to occur. Your temps are also kind of all over the place, are u using opks too? They will help.

Answer

FF says my cover line is 98.1 so my temp dipped below that today
On 4 DPO.

Answer

Yes- I had a positive OPK on CD 24,26, 27– negative on the 28. My cycles have been 28-30 before this one and temping last cycle the temps rose after ovulation and fell before AF on 7/18.
