Help with OPK and BBT, confused!

This is the first month I'm tracking my temp and using OPKs, I ordered some cheap ones from Amazon...been doing them once a day and the line is always there but very fair and isn't getting darker, but this morning my temp jumped massively and yesterday was my predicted ovulation day so I'm confused, have I ovulate but the stick isn't picking it up?

My graph...I feel like that looks quite obvious that I've ovulated? Maybe I need to get better OPKs?

Some people have a really short LH surge (the hormone the ovulation sticks pick up). What time of day are you testing? You might need to test twice a day to catch it.

Was it almost positive on any of the days?

Oh I see you said the line was very faint. Maybe try testing twice a day next cycle would be my suggestion.

You'll need a few more days of raised temp to confirm ov.

Thanks all!

So I took a temp again first thing this morning (forgot yesterday!) and it's still the same much higher so does this mean I have ovulated?

Looks likely so far. Wait another day or two (and take your temp each day) for further confirmation.

Thanks @physicskate!

So I guess I'm on 5dpo so still very early but my temps seem quite high, is this normal?

I guess I could just run very warm, sometimes I do get really warm and have to sleep with a fan on almost every night!
I take the temp first thing in the morning and I never get up during the night.

Normal. Yup - this chart supports that you ovulated when you think you did.
