I ovulated?

My temp was down this morning and I was disappointed, thinking that I must not have ovulated. Well, when I got up I put my data into my charts and apparently, FF thinks I ovulated 3 days ago. I'm happy about that of course but I have to say I don't really believe it, lol. I wouldn't be too surprised if tomorrow's temp changes that, and the cross-hairs on my chart disappear. Hopefully that won't happen but we'll see! My CTP chart hasn't detected ovulation yet, despite having the same information. I thought that with today's temp my CTP chart would change the coverline, but it didn't. Maybe tomorrow it will detect O.


So unless anything changes, I'm 3 DPO today. That means that in about a week I can start testing. I'm not expecting to get pregnant this month, because I've ovulated so late and our timing wasn't exactly great this time. Last cycle our timing was rated "very good" and this time it's just "good", but I know it only takes 1 little swimmer to do the job! Haha.

Honestly, looking at how crazy my chart has been this cycle, I don't think I believe FF's interpretation. I think it's been so long that I've kinda resigned myself to thinking I won't O this cycle, so now that it says I have I'm in disbelief. I guess I'm cautiously optimistic, but we'll have to see what happens over the next few days - hopefully my temps will be way up so there won't be any doubt! :-)

By the way, the cross-hairs have now changed from solid lines to dotted lines (I assume that's because I put some additional data in - CP, CM).

Update

Since I posted earlier I've been having some cramps which feel as though they could be ovulation cramps. Now I'm even more confused!

I hadn't thought of it earlier but I have a massage booked for tomorrow afternoon, I booked it last week thinking there was no way I'd be in my fertile period by now. I'm going to keep the appointment, I'm sure it'll be OK even if I have ovulated. I know a lot of people drink alcohol in the 2 week wait, which I don't do (actually I haven't had any alcohol since we started TTC, not even when I'm not fertile, lol) so really how bad could a massage be before implantation even occurs? It's most likely OK I think. Better than going in a hot tub anyway!

I feel really grumpy this evening, I think because I'm confused about all of this. I felt fine when I figured I'd have to wait until around CD22 to ovulate, I just accepted it, but now that all this is going on I just don't know what my body is doing. I realized that my cycles could shorten in length but I assumed if that happened that it'd be a gradual change, not like this! If I did ovulate yesterday and my LP stays the same (13 days) then this cycle will only be 20 days... I don't think I've ever had such a short cycle, in the 17 years I've been having them! There's a huge difference between 35 days and 20 days, so if that happens it'll be kinda freaky won't it?!?!
