Yes, it's normal. Mild pain is normal as you approach ovulation and
your temp plummeting is a sign that you are ovulating today! (due to LH
surge). Over the next 1-3 days your temp will show a sudden increase
(.4 - 1.0F) and will remain there for the rest of your cycle (12-16 day
luteal phase).
Although charting bbt is not an exact science, when done correctly, it
is a *very* good indicator of ovulation.
