Could travel trick FF into thinking I've O'd? (Chart stalk please!)

I realize that I should just wait it out and see, but I'm impatient and am hoping some of you ladies fancy a good old chart stalking!

I went on a skiing holiday for Christmas this year, and so went from Eastern to Mountain time. I took FF's advice and just kept temping at whatever the local 5:30am was. I took my temp the morning I left (CD25), and was encouraged to see a small spike in temp that could possibly indicate an O. CD26-30 were all temps taken on holiday - in the new time zone. That fantastic drop is the morning after the day I got back (so my first temp back on Eastern time). I've been expecting AF for days now as a result, but beyond cramping she has yet to rear her ugly face.

My question is - do you think it's possible that I didn't actually ovulate at all? My last cycle was anovulatory and had to be ended with Provera (I went of BCPs in July and have only had one ovulatory cycle, and one crazy long one before this current cycle) - so I'm scared that I didn't O yet again, and will have to get more Provera. I'm going to take another pregnancy test in a couple days if AF stays away (since it was negative yesterday) - but I'm not sure if it's worth it!

Thanks for reading this far and, and thanks in advance for your opinions!

     Last cycle I traveled from eastern time to Europe and still saw clear shifts. 

    Going from eastern to mountain time should give you slightly lower temps since you are temping earlier than your body was used to and going back would be the opposite. So I don't think that the time shift would trick FF into thinking you did ovulate when you didn't. Since you have dashed crosshairs, FF isn't totally positive about your O. 

    I would test again in a few days if AF stays away. Hope you aren't heading into another long anov cycle and you get your bfp.

    Thanks! I was (very hopefully) thinking the same thing. At this point, I'll definitelybe testing if AF stays away. I'd settle for AF over another long anovulatory cycle.
