Default Charting Temperatures & Ovulation.....PLEASE ANSWER!

Hi everyone,

I know I probably shouldn't even be posting on this since I am doing NFP charting to prevent pregnancy at this time, however, I cannot seem to find any others sites realted to ovulation so here I am and hope someone can help. I have been charting my BBT and CM since 7/29/05 which was the First day of my LMP. I also used OPK's to know for sure since this is my first month off birth control and knew my cycle might be a little off. So, I had a positive OPK on 8/17 which was CD 20 and also had a dip in my temp from the previous day which was 98.3 to 97.8 on CD 20 and also got a + OPK that day around 2 PM. The next day which was CD 21 my temp was 97.7 and friday CD 22, my temp spiked to 98.6. So, my question is, since it spiked on friday the 19th CD 22 to 98.6, the next 3 days after that, they have been 98.5; 98.5; and today CD 25 it was 98.4 all around the same time too, between 10 - 11 am. It is still above the coverline, but only by 1 degrees. My highest temp before ovulation was 98.3. So, I was wondering if tomorrow is it going to be 98.3 and keep getting lower or is it possible it will rise again. I have had 4 high temps since ovulation, so am I in the clear now to not worry or what? What will it mean if my temps do not stay above the coverline until my period is expected? Also, on CD 20 which was the day I had a positive OPK, we did have intercourse that evening, (we both knew we shouldn't have and were going to use spermicide but forgot) but withdrew prior to ejaculation and have always practiced this method (6 years now). Being that it was my peak day, do you all think that I have a high chance of conceiving that night? Please tell me no since we pulled out. I am sort of concerned. I don't know if it's because I KNEW I was fertile that night or just because I am nervous? I know sperm can get in before pulling out, but what is your opinion? I have a lot better chance of NOT becoming pregnant by pulling out right? And if, I did conceive that night, when if at all, would I start to show ANY sympotms? And will my temps just stay high? Any advice or input anyone has is greatly appreciated!!

Good luck to all of you TTC!!

Thank you

Jenelle

ps: I have a friend you used withdrawal for 7 years and fell pregnant after that long..7 years later. Guess it works well for some huh?

ps2: Also, what is the abbreviation BFP and AF mean? I think it has something to do with your period but I'm not sure. Like I said, I am new to all of this stuff!
