Temp not spiking?

Question

Why is my temperature not spiking?   Could I not be producing enough progesterone?   I take my temp everyday same time and its all over the place.  I had positive lh surge few days ago and had ovulation cramps the last two days.  Last month I spiked and then about 6-7 dpo my temp dropped to about .2 degrees above my coverline.  This is my second month coming off bcp.

Answer

Here is my latest chart.  I think I definitely am ovulating just taking a few days to peak.  I only took my temp 10 min late this morning and ff put the open circle. Last month I didn't stay at the peak temp either which is why I think my progesterone might be low.  I had weird pinching pain on my right lower abdomin last night when trying to fall asleep.  Hoping the dip today might be implantation but its probably wishful thinking.

Answer

Yes I take temp right when I get up.  No I havent been sick and I do not drink alcohol since ttc.  I had a weird chart last month too.  I am fairly certain I ovulated last month and this month cause I had a lot of cramping and backaches at time of ovulation.  Last month after it spiked my temp dropped the rest of the month.  Thats why I wonder if my progesterone is too low.  This is only my second month off bcp so I think my hormines are a bit out of wack.  We will see what it is in the morning.

Here is one of my charts, just for reference.  See how my pre-O temps are so much lower?  My temps are usually pretty even and noticeably higher post-O.  This particular cycle I actually had a chemical.  The insanely high temp was when I had. + hpt, then as you can see, bbt plummeted and AF showed.  :(

Answer

It is possible to get a positive opk and still not ovulate.  Based on your bbt, I would say you haven't ovulated yet, as you had higher temps during AF than you do now.

​Do you temp right when you wake up?  Have you been sick?  Have you consumed much alcohol?  All of these things affect bbt.
