Hi, I'm new here & have only been temping for a few cycles but I think this may be triphasic?? It's my first cycle after m/c :cry: (4th m/c) so has been annoyingly long. I would really appreciate some help & advice please. I didnt temp fully the cycle I fell pg, but from what I did do there was a 2nd temp jump then too. My non pg cycles I was biphasic. 11dpo today. What do you think? Thank you all & very best wishes!!

Looks like it, but all your open circles mean that you're not temping at the same time, so it's not really a true pattern. Of course, my doctors have told me that temping is just a "fun" exercise, so who knows. Good luck.

what do you mean by this, terri? like temping doesn't really make much of a difference? my docs handed me papers with grids and said 'here, go do this' like it would be beneficial. Just curious! thanks!
 
My OBGYN told me that it's just a computer and our bodies are not computers, so when it says you've ovulated, you can't really be sure (although, obviously a temp jump shows ovulation, so not sure why she said that, but I guess how FF changes crosshairs sometimes, it's just an estimate).

Then I went to the FS, and he said the same thing, basically. If you click on my charts (there are plenty of them on there), there is usually a jump, but then it jumps back down. The specialist said 'You don't look like you have ovulation problems to me. That software is outdated, and it's just a fun exercise. If it makes you happy to do it, keep doing it.'

From those two statements, I kind of take it with a grain of salt, but since I'm an old gal, I kind of believe FF and sometimes I ovulate and sometimes I don't. I'm waiting for AF, and then I go back to the FS for the next steps, so we'll see what he says this time. My crosshairs got taken away with my low temperature this morning, so I'm feeling a bit frustrated today. All that BD time for nothing (except fun)...once again. :dohh:

Edit-And I will say, that it is good to have data when seeing a doctor so you can show them what you think is happening, but they think they know all the answers and you don't, so I think they'll probably tell you the same thing when the time comes...let me know..ha!
 
Hmm, I'm kind of confused by your doctors comments. I'm in the UK and was told that BBT is a good idea and can really help. Guess it's just that docs opinions vary anyway.

As for the open circles, I've figured out that even though all my temps were done within about 15 mins of each other (except 2 that were about 20 mins later). However, although I scribble the figures down straight away I haven't always entered them on FF straight away. I think I've been forgetting to correct the times when I've entered them. So they probably should be full circles instead of open ones.

Thanks for your help :)
 
Fantastic info, thank you for sharing. Yeah, I kinda go into it feeling like all of this is a guide rather than the rule and it will be awesome data to bring to a doc if/when I have to, which will prob be next month if Af comes this week.
Good luck to you - I know you've been through a lot.
 
I wanted to add my two cents as my doc also said it's a very outdated system and not to rely on BBT charts. But I do it religiously for my own interests. She told me to do OPK's because that's more scientific and that's what I should trust. I always have clear jumps of temp and before AF it goes down - but even then according to her that is not a reliable sign of me ovulating. She didn't even want to see my charts when I took it with me.
