Since the temp shift doesn't occur until after you ovulate, you could definitely still ovulate today. The problem with charting is that you don't know for sure until 3 days of temps above your cover line. So keep BDing. An OPK is a good predictor of O, but doesn't guarantee it. Your body could potentially release the hormone and "try" to ovulate, but then it doesn't happen.

But I bet you'll see a temp shift soon. Some people have an O "dip" also right before the temp shift.

i think it's a combination of everything. can't rely solely on opk sticks and solely on temps, because temps could change based on other circumstances (maybe sleeping without blankets one night vs. next? sleeping with mouth open?).... i think it's possible you already ovulated. just keep taking temps to see what the charts say. everyone's different. good luck!

The egg lives for up to 24 hours, so tonight is definitely not too late, but if you've been doing it every day, you should already be fine too. Sperm lives for up to 5 days.

Glad your temp spiked! Remember that the temp rise is actually caused by the rise in progesterone following ovulation, not by the precise event of ovulation itself. So you may have actually ovulated around the cramping, but it can take a day for your prog levels to rise enough to raise your BBT.
