Attn. Charting experts - O Question

KC1212

Okay I started charting in August and that cycle looks annovulatory to me - agree or disagree?

September was my BFP. That chart looks good but, FF has the crosshairs wrong so disregard.

Okay - this month - I got a positive OPK on CD 17 (a little early for my typical but, it doesn't concern me) however my concerns are the following:

My temp dip does not look pronounced and my temp has not spiked (it's stayed very close to the same). Obviously, I'm hoping this is a slow rise but, shouldn't I see a least a tiny bit of a spike (like my September chart?)

Also - is it a possibility that I'm not ovulating?? Like maybe the only reason I got pregnant in Sept is because it is the only month I've actually O'd to date?

I'm probably just obsessing.  Check that - I AM obsessing

If anyone cares to please humor me and take a look.

Ok, deep breaths, girl. 

First off- Did you stop your OPKs when you got that +? I've had many months where I'd get a bunch of +s before I actually O, so it might just be you are having a long surge this cycle. It's way to early to throw in the towel on this cycle, give it a few more days. 

Second- Don't panic! I can almost guarantee you are Oing if you are getting + OPKs, and you will confirm it with your temps this cycle, just like you did last cycle. 

It takes a while to really start interpreting your charts, and making predictions on what is happening- like at least 6+ charts. So just relax, you are doing everything right, and it does look like you are about to O any second this cycle!!

Thanks for calming my crazy! I did not know there was such a thing as a long surge..?

To further my crazy I ran to the bathroom after your response - peed in a cup and dipped 2 sticks one line, 1 digi and both negative.

I'm just paranoid because we had awesome timing.

DTD for FUN the night before my +OPK and then did it the following 2 nights - one night 2x! (Because you wanted to know that )

Basically we got it on like horny rabbits on exctasy-lol.

Anyway- thanks for calming my crazy

Do you have VIP?  If not, they only let you share the latest two charts.  So you'll have to post a picture of it or something if you want to share it with us.

I second all of what Mrs Castillo said.  Keep using the OPKs.  They might stay positive for a while before you actually O or you could see a surge without the release of an egg with another surge in a few days where you do actually release an egg.  At any rate, I don't think you've ovulated yet.  I sometimes have slow rising charts but they do actually rise after O, just at a pokey rate. 

No need to worry, especially given your 26 day O last cycle; just keep peeing on things.
