Where to place the coverline?

[nightsinger]

So here's an odd "where do I draw my coverline" question.

If your body tried to ovulate, your temp shifted for one day and then fell back down, you didn't ovulate. So, you disregard that temperature when drawing your coverline when you do ovulate, right

I will say ahead of time that I am not going to be very much help in answering your question. When my body gears up to ovulate but doesn't I can only tell based on CM. My temp never raises and then drops back down. If my temp raises and drops back down, I personally wouldn't exclude it (unless there was another reason for exclusion) and I wouldn't confirm ovulation until 3 of my temps were .2 degrees above the previous 6 (even if some of those previous 6 were higher than I would expect) but that's because I am TTA

Mine does tend to bounce up a bit when it tries to ovulate and fails for whatever reason, so I'm used to disregarding aberrant temperatures in order to allow me to draw a coverline... I've just never seen it do this so many times in quick succession. XD

My last cycle was anovulatory, too, which was very frustrating. XD But after that ended, it's been pretty normal for me (pre-O temps averaging 96.90 if we include the "ovulation attempt" numbers; 96.84 if we don't... Average of 97.54 for the LP temps so far), other than this ovulatory bobbling; I'm wondering if, perhaps, my body just needed to get back in the swing of it?

I guess we'll see. :)
