Any ideas why I have had a spike today? New to temping... thanks xxxx

Question

Answer

Wow, yes, I can see why you'd make yourself dizzy!
From what I understand about charting, ovulation is confirmed when you have three elevated temps over the previous six. And with CD24, I don't see that in your previous 6 temps. Your spike now, and if you get two more elevated temps, would look like ovulation to me. That would make this cycle longer than your previous though....xo

Answer

Ashlee - thanks so much for your help - does this give a different picture? Xxxxx

Answer

Yeah, this is my first month temping and I got the thermometer so thought I'd just start.
The back story is that I didn't have a period for 6months after the pill. I finally normalised and have been tracking and testing since September. In sept I had a 28 day cycle and ovulated on cd16 (got a solid smiley). October my cycle was 32 days and I ovulated on cd19, again solid smiley. 
This month I ran out of clear blue tests and went on to the pink strips. I got a high (flashy) smiley before using the sticks. Then I had nothing, for days and days. When I posted a picture of my temp someone said that I def ovulated on 24th even though no lh surge was detected - this is conducive with Glow. 
So is this not correct?
I'm whizzing myself in circles trying to figure it out.
Thanks xxx

Answer

You should really chart your entire cycle. To me this looks like it could be an increase due to you just ovulating. If you get two more elevated temps I would say it was ovulation. How long are your cycles normally?
