So, to say that I haven't been faithful to temping is an understatement. I have been very much on and off. Also, I have head two different bouts of illness in the past 2 months which have produced unusual, erratic temperatures, so it felt like I might as well throw the whole thing out.
Add to that, my sleeping isn't very conducive, as I wake frequently through the night. Usually I go right back to sleep, sometimes I watch TV or putter around on the computer for a bit. My wake schedule is sort of all over the place based on how much sleep I've gotten. I know you are supposed to take the temp immediately after waking up, but also around the same time each morning; well it's one or the other for me. Finally, my room temperature sometimes runs hot, sometimes runs normal. It can vary.
So, I thought I would look at the temp pattern that I DO have, in regards to ovulation. Imagine my surprise when it seems like I get a temperature spike one day BEFORE I get a positive OPK kit, and then the day of the positive OPK kit, it drops back down. Well, newbie that I am, I assumed that meant I had ovulated and stopped temping. Temperature spike+LH Surge....easy peasy, done right?
Oops. Well now I realize that the temperature spike should be at least 3 days in a row, and the only registered spikes I have are one day, not three. So, now I don't know when I ovulate in comparison to my OPK; heck, I don't even know IF I'm ovulating. I just assumed I was.
I feel like I'm having to start all over.
