Calling All Chart Stalkers

edited September 2014 in TTC after 35
Okay, I don't know what my body is doing (other than not ovulating). Last month was CD15 so if figured it was a good base to go with. Then my temp didn't shift yesterday - in fact it went down. Annoying. DH and I are both fighting colds and are worn out so while we tried yesterday no one was "into it" so it was a wash. I told myself it wasn't a huge deal, -1 and -3 were good. But this morning I didn't get a temp shift either. Now we are looking solely at -2. There was no time this morning and we have an event this evening so 9pm it might happen. Arrrrgggh! I am so frustrated at the timing. Any statisticians? How are my odds looking?

Here's my chart if you're mobile: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/m/home.php/5246b9

    I'm definitely not an expert, but it looks to me like you could have ovulated yesterday and just be seeing a slower rise (so you'd be back at -1 and -3).  I've had charts like that (if I knew how to share a particular chart from a few months ago, I'd direct you to my April one).  Hopefully your temps will keep rising steadily and you'll get your crosshairs for yesterday...

    I agree with @Davie813. I have had slow rise charts. I wouldn't lose hope.

    Also, -2 and -4 is completely respectable. I have read that -2 might even be better than -1.

    I usually get a dip and then a slow rise. I wouldn't be surprised if O turns out to be today or yesterday.  I know it is frustrating.

    Did you have a negative OPK yesterday? If so, I'd wait for tomorrow's temp to tell for sure when you ovulated and try to get in some sex tonight just in case. Good luck!

    @Davie813 , @URmySunshine77 and @TLC35 Thanks, that makes me feel better.  Maybe it  is just a slow rise.  It certainly couldn't have gone much lower!  I am such a planner.  You would think this process would have taught me that that trying to plan is pointless - but leopards don't change their spots (even for Mother Nature).

    @obscurereference My body is a bit weird with OPKs.  I took one yesterday and it was super faint, but I don't get a line at all unless I am having a hormone shift.  The thing is, I never timed it right this month (mainly due to work) for testing where I got a definite "+", just the suggestion that I probably did because I caught (theoretically) the very beginning or the very end.
