For those of who who chart...help?!?!

MissErika16

I've been charting pretty regularly and I always ovulate on day 14. In an effort to help my body create for EWCM I took Evening Primrose Oil this month. Big mistake. I didn't ovulate until CD18. I felt it and had a good-sized temp spike next day but then today (CD 19) my temp went down to a pre-O range temp. Has anyone had this happen? I don't know now if I O'd or not but I always feel it for 12-24 hours and despite being delayed it was as usual. HELP!
Thank you!

I've always had a temp drop a few days after ovulation once it was below my cover line and later FF just changed my cover line. I think you just may have to wait a few more days to confirm ovulation.

Can you link your chart? I'm a visual person and I'm mobile so not sure if it's in your signature.

If your temp went down to pre-O levels you may not have O'd or you may just have one wonky temp.  You will have to wait and see.  I would recommend linking your chart if you aren't sure what is going on.  BTW it isn't bad to O on CD18 at all.  Plenty of people have gotten + Oing on CD 18 or later.

I sometimes get a temp dip after O'ing. It's like my body needs a few hours to catch up to recognize the O if I O later in the day instead of in the morning.
