So, it sounds like it might be kind of common for BBT to not rise withing 48 hours of a positive OPK? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-and-bbts#post-1900101 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 08:23:42 +0000 ValentineMommy 1900101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ovulate regularly (that I know of), but this is my first month charting. My temp increased .2 for the 2 days following my O instead of having one big temp jump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-and-bbts#post-1900096 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 08:22:28 +0000 LBee 1900096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! Actually the month I got pregnant this happened. I can dig around for my chart ... give me a few minutes. I remember being so confused of when I ovulated and if I could finally stop BDing every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-and-bbts#post-1900088 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 08:15:07 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 1900088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past when I've used OPKs and charted, I will get a positive OPK one day, O the next day, and have a significant temperature shift the next (which confirms ovulation to me). Usually my temp goes from about 97.6 to 98.2. It's been nice that it's been so clear in the past.</p> <p>BUT, this month I got a positive OPK (smiley face) Saturday morning and then yesterday (Monday) morning my temp still hadn't gone up. This morning my temp went up to 97.9, so I guess this month I'm going to have a slower rise? </p> <p>Does anyone else that charts have this issue? Even after getting a positive OPK that it takes a few days for your temp to go up?</p> <p>(And yes, we are still very infertile and are waiting to adopt, but we were considering an IUI this month, and wanted to pinpoint ovulation, albeit not very successfully apparently.) </p>
