O Dip

SewSewBlessed

Quick question...

Once an O Dip (in temp) occurs, has O already happened? If you get an O Dip temp reading in the AM, is sex that evening kind of late/pointless?

(I kokw you can't confirm O for days afterwards.)

Not everyone gets a dip around ovulation.  For those who do, some get it the day of ovulation and some a day or two before.  So I guess the answer for your second answer is...no sex is not pointless at that point.

BTW you won't know that your temp dip means ovulation until you get a sustained temp rise after.

I ask bc I'm laying here deciding if I really want to wake DH up. I'm tired and ED sex is wearing me out.

I do know that sustained temps confirm O.

Sorry, but you can't predict o with temps. Try an opk next time.

I wouldn't stress too much about taking a day off.  If your temp spikes in the morning just have some fun morning sex then.  DH and I usually aim for EOD, unless I get a positive OPK, then we try for everyday until I get a temp spike.

If you've had ED sex, I don't think that taking today off would be problematic, even if it is your most fertile days. Eg: if you had sex yesterday and plan to have sex again tomorrow before H goes to sleep, you should have your bases covered. Don't wake him up. Take a rest today.

Thank you! This is what I was getting at and wondering.

I know that. I'm charting BBT, CM, and had a positive OPK yesterday. I was just wondering IF an O Dip occurs, what it means in relation to actual O timing.

Sex is never pointless - it causes the release of endorphins and those make us happy!

For the purpose of creating babies, see above

I know you know. But I'm just saying there's no way to tell whether your dip is an o dip or just a random temp.
