This is my first month charting, so I have a question for all you charters out there. I got off BC in May, and have had regular cycles since (28-29 days). I am on CD 12, so I am hoping to ovulate in the next few days. For those of you that ovulate regularly and temp, is the temp spike super obvious? My temps have been fairly consistent, but I have had a couple of days where they fluctuate 1-2 tenths of a degree. Will the spike be way more than that? We're not currently TTC, I am just temping to make sure I am ovulating. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Yes it's usually pretty obvious, .5 of a degree or more. When I started charting I spent a LOT of time thumbing through chart galleries on FF to start to understand patterns a bit more. Join us on the charting thread! Share your chart and we can all help you figure out what's going on

For me it's been obvious, but this is only my second month actually temping. Last month my jump was almost a full degree.
-
Mine are obvious, always .5 or more. But I do pretty sharp fluctuations if I drink the night before, so that could account for some of your jumps. And sometimes it just goes up and down a little for no reason.
-
If you consistently take your temp at the same time each morning, it's usually a pretty obvious jump. To be warned though, I have had "slow rises" and those are harder to figure out.
-
My spikes were normally about .4 degrees and then they'd go even higher. More than likely, you'll notice it, but it may be a day or two after the spike that you see the pattern.

Mine was obvious but it was only about .2 to .3 degrees. It was an obvious shift to me because I was using Fertility Friend, so the pre and post-O pattern was evident but only if I temped every day and so could see the consistent raised temperatures post-O.
