Confused about temping !!!! Pls help!!!

[Bluenpinkmom]

Hiya lovely ttc'ers...!!!

So a tiny background here :

So this cycle happens to be our 3rd cycle ttc..... I have no high hopes this times....!!!! Unlike the last time, where I ended up having an anovulatory cycle but this time I am on vitex 120 mg daily... And started temping for the first time and using opks...

So since i am temping for the first time, I Am going insane !!! My temps starting from day 3 are as follows: 98.1 , 97.7 , 97.9 , 98.0 , 98.2 , 98.2 , 97.8 , 97.7 , 97.8 , 97.8 , 97.2 , 97.7, 98.1

I had 98.2 , a sudden drop of .6 on Day 13 and I have no clue about this !!! I have had no ewcm but had positive opk on cd13 and cd14..... But not a very very great rise in temp.... Can you girls help me out analyzing my temp chart with the input I have given have I ovulated? Any chance?

Thanks for your wonderful replies

Can you link your chart? It will be much easier to read. From the temps you've given it doesn't sound like you have ovulated yet as you haven't had a temp rise.

Are you temping at the same time every morning as soon as you wake up (before getting up or even speaking)? I also recommend you switch to a bbt thermometer as regular ones are not near sensitive enough and fluctuate quite a bit which can cause inaccurate temps. It can work for some people, but most of the time it doesn't xx

Hi Blue!

How do you know you had an annovulatory cycle?

Hi Blue!

3-4 days after positive OPK, your temp hasn't risen up yet

 

[taylorxx]

Well you can still ovulate that cycle if your temps don't rise after a pos opk.. just won't be at that time. If you get AF and never had a thermal shift, then that means it's an anovulatory cycle xx

Can anyone please check out my chart!? I am new to this as well.. and a little confused. I havent had any luck with a postive OPK.. And Ive read alot of people saying they never got a positive OPK and should possibly rely on temping.

Your chart doesn't show anything yet, but it doesn't look like you've ovulated yet. You need to take your temp at the same time every morning (very important) one hour can make a .1 difference. CD16 is still early so no need to worry.. how long are your cycles? xx

 

[SpringH]

I have a question as well.. I have been waking up earlier... Today 5am.. But I usually temp at 6:30 or 7. I felt I had to temp to get the continuous sleep hours. What do you suggest? I am 12dpo and feel like AF is coming but I want to try and get consistent before next month. Thanks in advance!

 

[klever]

I FINALLY GOT A POSITIVE OPK THIS MORNING! Its my cycle day 17 today.. my cycles are usually 27-28 days. I put my new temp in my fertility friend so I can compare in the future.. Is it "likely" that I will ovulate each month on my 17th cycle day? Ive never gotten a positive OPK before!

 

[taylorxx]

Great news!!! Count from the day after you ovulate until you get your AF (which hopefully you DONT!!!!) and that is your LP. If it's 10 or under, you need to take supplements vitamin b6+b12 to make your LP longer.What do you mean you put your temp into FF to have something to go by for in the future? It doesn't rise until the day after ov, not during. Hope you catch the egg!!!! FX'ed!!

I don't mind, I love reading chartings. I'm such a nerd, I swear. Whenever I first started TTC... I probably spent 3 hours a day researching charting, ovulation, etc etc.. Pretty sad lmao. My OH thought I was wacko lots of sticky baby dust! xx

 

[klever]

Thank you Taylor!! I know the temp rises after.. but I didnt really see it dip before except for a few days ago.. I am def confused with all the temping information so you've got another follow for chart questions I have been taking the b vitamins for the past few weeks so hopefully I dont have to worry about my LP being too short, THANKS AGAIN!

ATTN TAYLOR: LOL

When I ovulate, will the crosshairs appear on FF the same day or at the end of the cycle?

You get crosshairs after 3 days of high temps. Solid crosshairs means FF is pretty dang positive that was ov day, and dotted crosshairs means it's not sure, but it thinks that's when you ov'd xx

Dear TTC'ers,

Can you please go through my bbt chart attached... I have attached it because I am not able to make my chart visible by pasting the link

Dear Taylor, need your help in this

Some more info here : actually I came to know I am not ovualating since I have been diagonised for irregular ovulation. And its interesting to note that I get "real periods only on the months I get ewcm on CD20 and CD21 and exactly after a LP of 14 days I get Af, like a clockwork, if not then no O that month and hence no Af, no nothing !!!

But this month I used premolut N , a Norethisterone ( I hope I have spelt it right !), to induce my period since after my real periods on July 14th, i never ovulated or got a period or got a BFP..... I stopped the pill on Aug 31st and got a "Withdrawal bleed" on sep 5th, which lasted for 4 days.... We BD'ed on CD's 6 and 7, if we observe my chart, we see a dip on CD13....what is this supposed to be

And on CD14 I had a sudden weird bad bitter taste in mouth..which I never ever had... and yesterday being my CD16 i started having "Twisting like ache" in my lower abdomen, which has continued even today , I even have sore throat, and also I have "constant dull headache" ... Dark enough OPK since CD13 but NO EWCM at all !!

could that dip on CD13 be a implantation dip..? Is it possible that I have ovulated soon after I was done with my withdrawal bleed...Ha I'm confused like hell

Thanks for your wondeful replies in advance

 

[taylorxx]

It's hard to see your chart.. but it looks like you ovulated on CD13, a few days ago. That wouldn't be an implantation dip as you didn't ovulate before that. Even if you didn't get ewcm this cycle, that doesn't mean you don't ovulate. xx

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

Thanks a lot Taylor sorry for the not-so-visible chart

But is it possible that I can ovulate that early? If yes, then does the regular follicular period has nothing to do with a withdrawal bleed is it?

Also are there any chances for these symptoms to show up this early? I mean I am really crampy don't know why so !!!

What do you all think ?? !!!
