Archie replied. Dear Rhea,
I do not see BBT working actually in your case.
The temp low 96 seems odd as in a day or two following to that your temp should rise above your normal, your normal crawls around 97 deg, so your temp today or yesterday should have been little above 97, which is not the case, so I doubt the August 23rd temperature. I am not in a position why was low that day, some latent stuff of your body.

Usually OPK stays positive for about 24 hours, to ensure the correct positive day, repeat test during day and in the evening, spaced about 4 hours. Read instructions, if says ovulation is due in 24 hours then have intercourse this night, if it says in 36-48 hours then wait for tomorrow night for intercourse!

I have my fingers crossed!

Good luck
Archie
