Day 13 of Cycle - Gearing Up

Over the weekend I got to sleep in and I had a temperature that was higher than usual.  It came in at 98 degrees, whereas normally I am around 97.6 degrees.  I thought, holy cow, I am ovulating early.  But it was just because I slept in.  That extra two hours of sleep let my body temp rise .4 degrees.  So I went ahead and looked online at how big of a jump to expect when ovulating.

So the shift actually happens after ovulation by a day or two although it should start climbing immediately after.  And the shift is only .4 to .6 degrees.  I am also looking for the cervical mucus to indicate that I am in a fertile time period. 

So over the next couple of days, I should begin to see an increase in mucus and then by Friday I should see an increase in temperature.
