Have I ovulated?

Hi - I hope someone can help! I got a positive OPK CD35 and this lasted for 3 days (see images below) and not sure if I've ovulated or not.

My cycles are irregular and this is my first time tracking BBT. Looking at the graphs do you think I've ovulated? I'm so lost with it all and just looking for reassurance!

@Lalalucy123 so sorry to hear about that. Fingers crossed you have some positive news on Wednesday. At least the doctors are on it and helping you as much as you can.

I haven't tested since as I was 100% sure I was out. My temp had dropped the last few days and had 0 symptoms what so ever. However, my BBT went up slightly again this morning and AF is due tomorrow so really not sure what's going on! Not sure if my BBT is accurate though as I haven't been sleeping properly the last few days! I'll attach my graph and show you.

I'm just half expecting AF to arrive now but will test Monday if not!

@ABLOSSOM Fingers crossed! I’ll let you know how I get on Wednesday.

I would say your definitely not out yet based on your chart. Your temps are still all above the cover line. Will you test on the day period is due or day after?

It could be promising that you have no symptoms at all because most people would have some sort of AF symptoms by now.

@Lalalucy123 I really want to wait until after AF but not sure if I will be able to wait if temp is still above the line tomorrow!

I've had the odd PMS cramp but it's nothing like what I usually have (or am I just convincing myself that?)

Everyone I know has always had implantation cramps and because I haven't it's just convincing me I'm out!

@ABLOSSOM How are you today? Any sign of AF?

@ABLOSSOM I've just caught up as I'm experiencing a long and weird cycle so it is always helpful to see folk with similar charts! Any update today?
I wanted to ask, what did you mean about adjusting the temp you took at 5.30am?
Sometimes I wake up early like 5am so I temp then but I've noticed those are always lower than my usual time of between 6-7am

@Lalalucy123 @Hankthehonk AF appeared today so I'm out ☹️ I've taken it much harder this month as I was so sure this would be the month.... I think it's harder for me too as I ovulate around 30-35 days into my cycle so I know I have so long to wait now!

@Hankthehonk someone had mentioned to me before that you can use an online BBT adjuster if you take your temp at a later/earlier time. But then I've also heard it doesn't matter what time of day you take it as long as it's first thing! There's so much advice out there so I wouldn't get too obsessed with it (like me this month!). This time I'm just going to use it to confirm ovulation and then leave it. How long have you been TTC?

@ABLOSSOM I’m sorry this wasn’t your month 🙁 Fingers crossed for next month!

Has your doctor mentioned anything about referring you to a reproductive endocrinologist? Their job is to actually help your get pregnant so they’re much better than you standard doctor for investigation.

@ABLOSSOM I'm so sorry af arrived and that you're struggling. Be kind to yourself, it sucks and those 30+ days will feel long. I hope you have nice things to look forward to this month to help the time go faster.
Thanks for replying,I found one of those calculators so I think I'll use it when my wakeup time is really out. I've noticed it was very high one day I slept in til almost 9am, and very low at 5am.

We've been trying 6 months for our second baby. I got pregnant on second cycle trying but had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. So this is only my second cycle after the loss which might be why things are weird 😔
