DH wasn't home Saturday night because he was helping some friends. I woke up about every hour because I can't sleep without him. It was also cold because it's just now starting to get cold at night here and we haven't turned our heat on yet. We usually sleep pretty close/touching each other. Temp was lower than I expected yesterday morning. Could it be because sleeping conditions were different than usual? Has anyone experienced this? I'm wondering if I should disregard that temp.
Just got my spike today, but I usually have a gradual increase for 2-3 days before a big spike. Yesterday's dip threw that off. I'm getting conflicting fertility signs so I'm trying to figure it all out.
Re: Temping question
Like crob5685 said, it isn't at all unusual for people to get a dip before their temp spikes. But if you never get a dip it wouldn't hurt to disregard that temp. I usually leave it on the chart but leave myself a note that for whatever reason it's not very reliable.

I'm confused because everything physical says I ovulated around Thursday or Friday. Temp didn't go above what will be cover line until yesterday but it was gradually rising until that dip Sunday morning.
Plus, I have gotten a positive OPK every day since Friday. Based on other signs, I should have gotten the positive OPK on Wed or Thurs. They were cheap OPKs so I don't know how accurate they really are. I keep testing each morning expecting a negative but they're still positive.
I should get my crosshairs tomorrow. I'm considering taking the positive OPKs out of the data to see what happens.
I think the fact that I was doing first morning urine might have been an issue. I finally stopped taking the OPKs because it was stressing me out, and I had already gotten my temp spike.
We had to have hit at least one fertile day. Maybe the next positive I get will be a different kind of test.
Thanks for the input ladies. Your advice has been helpful. Now it's just the waiting game.
