Temp dip before predicted ovulation date but all negative OPKs?

Amy • Biz owner, was a teen mom to a now 18 year old 🩷. Baby #2 was a 5 week NICU warrior born @ 34 weeks in August 2020 💙. Baby #3 born at 33+2 in June 2023, currently in NICU 🩷

I’m in my first month of temping so please forgive any ignorance. I know you are supposed to have a temp dip the day before ovulation, then you can confirm ovulation with higher temps for several days after. I have watery CM but no EWCM, OPKs have been the same for days and although I only log one a day I’ve been testing a few times a day, so I know I haven’t had my surge yet. I had a temp dip this morning that I guessed would indicate ovulation is to happen tomorrow (which is what both Premom and Glow predicts) but I still have no surge? Could it just be a random dip? Or maybe my surge will be short?

Here’s my chart and the OPKs I’ve taken this week. Thanks in advance!

Your gearing up to ovulate your temp gets low before and can even rise some and then ovulation. It’s not about the dip it’s about the rise. 3 higher temps after ovulation and they need to be higher then the previous 6. Get busy!
