O question
Yesterday was CD13, my temp dropped I had 2 lines on OPK (one was lighter then the other, but I NEVER get 2 lines ever ), we BD yesterday, today CD14 temp was lower then norm but not as low as yesterday we BD this morning and I just got 2 lines on the OPK (the same). (so sorry for the long drawn out story) My question....am I O'ing today, yesterday, tomorrow? DH just left for the weekend and won't be back until Sunday late afternoon early evening. I know we will BD on Sunday as soon as he gets home. Will that be enough? AGH!!!!!! Hunting season...this is the first time I EVER wished it was over already. TIA

Re: O question
Have you had a thermal shift yet?
That's the only way to confirm O.
Temps don't always drop before O... temping is best to confirm O - not predict it.
If you got your +OPK today, then you're Oing tomorrow or the following day.

Re: O question

Now I'm totally confused? What is a thermal shift?
If you got your +OPK today, then you're Oing tomorrow or the following day. So if that is the case then BD'ing today, Sunday and now Monday should be good.

YES! I never did well with the OPK's this is my first time. Something always came up and I either missed it or stopped doing it.

it's not on line, I'm so out of the loop. I have been consistent everyday with either 97.4 or 97.5, yesterday I was 96.8 today I was 97.2, does that help?

It's really hard to tell without seeing it.
You could try fertilityfriend.com - it's free - just add your temps in for this month...
It doesn't sound like you ovulated yet though. You'll only be able to tell once you get to 3 DPO by confirming a "thermal shift" or change in temperatures. Your chart should be biphasic - in that there is one level of temps before O and another (higher) level after O.
Here's one of my charts just so you get an idea:

It's a little more complicated than that.
You basically you a basal body thermometer to record your waking temperature (before getting out of bed or moving at all). You record these temps every morning at the same exact time and you can enter them into a website like fertilityfriend.com to confirm your ovulation date.
You'll see a thermal shift once you ovulate...
If you're really interested in trying this, I can give you a better explanation or bump a thread with more info.
