January 11, 2021 at 1:11 pmI already had a positive/peak OPK result this cycle (around Day 15) but also had another positive/peak OPK result today (Day 22) with some CM. Any insight into how this can be interpreted?

January 11, 2021 at 2:48 pmHi. With the missing temps from the first half of your cycle, it's hard to say for sure what is happening because there is no way to know if those temps are at a new higher range. It is possible to have an ovulation attempt where you will see fertile signs, but ovulation not be successful so your body will attempt again at which point you will see fertile signs again. I would keep taking your temps to see if they do rise to a new higher range.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

January 22, 2021 at 9:21 amHi Andrea,

Would you mind taking a look at my chart again and letting me know what you think with more temps?

If I take the first potential thermal shift/ovulation on Day 15 it looks like I'd be around 18 days of high temps? But I think with Day 22 also showing signs of ovulation that might be my actual ovulation date with 11 days after. Would love your insight on if I'm intepreting my chart right.

Thanks in advance :)

January 22, 2021 at 11:01 amHi. Happy to take a look. CD 25 looks like it is another possible ovulation day. CD 22 doesn't meet the criteria for temperature to populate an ovulation day, but you do have fertile CM marked for that day too. CD 23-CD24 doesn't quite meet the .2 degree rise we would be looking for either.

Your temps need to rise .2-.4 degrees from one day to the next and then stay elevated for the following 3 out of 4 days to meet the BBT rules for possible ovulation. CD 15 and CD 25 are the only days that meet that requirement for ovulation. So you might not be as far into your luteal phase as you were thinking. If you think CD 15 was ovulation, you could certainly take a pregnancy test now though.

Keep me posted!
