>I only began charting 4 days ago on day 13 of my cycle. I realize I should've started much earlier, but since my cycles have been so regular (28 days on the button the majority of the time)we've been trying around the 11th through 18th day. My basal temp on 13th and 14th day was 98, went down to 97.9, then was 98 again yesterday morning. Unfortunately I didn't take it this morning. Although the OPK tests indicated I'm ovulating, it's hard to tell from my CM. Thanks for your help.
