How I know by my BBT charting when I ovulate?

I am 8cd and had my last of dose of Clomid yesterday. When will I ovulate I don't want to miss my O day. My cycle is 36days so I am in limbo and just worried because I want this so bad.

Use should use opk's however most ppl get a huge temp dip right before O you will know that you've O'ed once your temp rises.  I have a 34day cycle and I usually O between cd18-21 but everyone is different. I would start using opks' around cd 15 and baby dance from cd 14-23

Good luck  :)

Ok just so I know the temp dip is a couple days before?  Thank you so much for helping me.

once you recieve a positive opk - you will O 12-36 hrs after.  Not everyone gets a dip.  You need to chart for a few months before you can really determine when you O.  Take a look at mine Mar-June  (july/aug was a wacky one for me)   It will give you an idea of how the chart works

You should definitely use OPKs. Temping is great and gives you lots of info, but your temp does not rise until after you ovulate, and usually by that time it is too late to get pg. Like Sherry said, some women see a dip before O, but not all. Also, clomid can change your temps and make it harder to see a pattern or determine when you O'ed. I would not rely on temping alone to determine the best time for timed intercourse. Once you see a positive OPK, you should BD that day and the next 2 days. My RE recommends BDing at least once every 24 hrs during the ovulation window. Good luck!!

Thank you for the tip. Question I did a OPK strip this morning and I noticed a faint 2nd line does that mean anything?

It means you will probably O in the next few days. Usually the line keeps getting darker until O. Good luck!!
