Ovulation help. Opk or temp?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Im a little confused by my ovulation this month. Usually my temps start low during my period and then there is a pretty obvious drop then shift in temp. This month, my temps started high, then dropped low and went way up again. Usually I ovulate around day 13/14 but does this look like I ovulated early? I got a very positive opk on day 9, and negatives on day 10&11 but didn’t test after that.. my temps started so go up after day 10/11 but it also seems like there could be a shift around day 15. I’m just so confused because this cycle is so unlike any other one I’ve had.  Do you put more weight into opk or temp?
