3DPO - Last cycle of the year update!!!

Hey yall!
I know it's been a while, but I put most of my day to day updates on FB now, having the new TTC profile.

Here's what's been going on. On the last U/S I took, which was on CD 13 it was filled with great news. Had a pretty big follicle, measuring 17.4mm and a great size endometrium, 10.9mm thick. The doc told me I should probably O in a couple of days and to start OPKs the next day.

The next day, I obviously forgot my OPK at home and couldn't test during the day, but it turned out for the best, as I tested that night at about 8pm and it was the strongest positive I've ever seen on a OPK, so I'm guessing I caught the spike. This means that I probably O on CD16, which on the BBT chart has a tremendous drop in temps, followed by rising temps the next couple of days. The rise is temps is no surprise as my doc put me on progesterone supplements starting CD15.

My hubby and I haven't been BDing as much as I would've wanted to, just because it was a crazy week, but I hope it was enough to catch the egg.

The new dilemma of the day is that I've come down with a cold in my weekend at the mountains and I've been running a fever ever since last night. This morning my temp was 37.7 C, which is about 99.8 F I think. This is pretty high for me as I have a fairly low core body temp. What I am curious to know is that if this fever can harm the development of a blastocyst in case of successful conception and if it can prevent implantation in any way. I've been really good about not taking any harmful medicine, just relying on teas, and a little bit of tylenol, which is pregnancy safe.... just to not jinx it.

I would appreciate any input or if you have similar experiences, no matter what the results were.
Thanks and have a great week!!!
