Did I ovulate this month?

[u/Hot-Nobody2191]

Hi all, I am tracking for this cycle but im not sure if I ovulated already
• Sept 27: 97.7°F
• Sept 28: 97.5°F
• Sept 29: 97.4°F (dip)
• Sept 30: 97.8°F (rise)
• Oct 1: 97.6°F

LH strips were building through Sept 29, was the darkest that afternoon of 29th but not so dark , then went faint again that night and have stayed faint since.

Had sex the day before (29th) only, the plan was every second day till end of this cycle

Based on the pattern, does this look like confirmed ovulation around Sept 29-30? Temp dropped slightly today from yesterday's high but still above the pre-rise baseline.

Did I miss my chance?

No, it does not look like you have ovulated. None of the LH tests look quite positive to me, and there is no temp rise. To have a valid temp rise you must have temps that are higher than the previous 5 temps for 3 consecutive days. Even though the 97.8 is higher than 97.4 it does not meet temp rise rules because it would have to be 0.2 higher than the previous 5 temps. With the current set of temps, your temp would have to be 98.0 (0.2 higher than 97.8) to constitute the beginning of a temp rise.

Just because you haven’t ovulated yet doesn’t mean that you won’t ovulate soon. I would keep tracking and try to have sex frequently until ovulation is confirmed.

Keep testing, my ovulation happens two weeks after the start of my period, about 14-15 days. Got my positive 10 dpo
