Temp rise FIVE DAYS after positive OPK - when am I ovulating?

Hi all, I'm new here. I'm almost 35 and we've been TTC for 9 months. We usually BD the few days before I get a positive OPK, the day I get a positive OPK, and usually the day after. Well, I started temping 3 months ago and realized there are 4-5 days between my positive OPK's and my temp shift. So when am I actually ovulating? I don't know which method to trust more. My OBGYN/RE say trust the OPK, my acupuncturist says trust the temp. If the BBT is correct, then we may have been BDing too early!

    I’m sorry I can’t offer you very concise advice. But I would BD around both times. I recommend the Fertility Friend app as it can help with eradicating ambiguity in your charts and pinpoints ovulation using many different data.

    From what I’ve read, you can ovulate up to 36 hours after a positive OPK and that temping is the most reliable. However, as you know, you don’t get the temp rise until after ovulation has occurred so using opks to get a general idea is probably a good idea. Maybe you should BD for a couple of more days after a positive OPK
