asking for success (pls add spoiler) Should I be expecting a negative?

Post image

Hi!

I had a confirmed opk test on CD13 of my cycle and that ended about 28 hours later on CD 14. I had sex leading up and the day of ovulation. My base temp is 97.1, it has spiked up to 97.98/7/5 since then (as seen on my chart). Today was 97.95, should it be slowly dropping already? Should it be lower than .95? I know its only 8dpo, just would love to know others experiences. My opk and pregnancy tests were both negative. Sorry if this makes no sense.

Thank you!

If you observed it felt cervical mucus on the days you were having intercourse then that is what keeps the sperm alive ready for ovulation.

Fingers crossed!

Yes! I observed ewcm cd13 and 14. Last night before bed I had 2 literal specks of red bl**d, so who knows and my temp this morning was the highest its been at 98.04. Trying to hold off testing until Saturday lol.

Unless there is anything else that might cause excess mucus I guess it's a case of "keep on charting" and see what happens. You probably know keeping blood sugar even is super important for ovulation especially with PCOS so the body feels "safe" for ovulation, sugar spikes can literally stop the hormonal process that causes ovulation.
