sue123- It doesn't look like you've ovulated yet to me, but I'm really confused about all the positive opk's... Maybe your body it trying to O but it's not happening. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

luna_19- Yay! That is a beautiful rise!

amjon- A big dip somewhere between 4 and 9dpo is completely normal. The body has a secondary estrogen surge during that time that often causes a dip in temps.

Vic20581- It does look like you may have O'd though. Just need to see your temp rise a little more to confirm if it happened or not. Make sure to test at the exact same time everyday. Charting doesn't work if your temp times are all over the place.

Hi sue123. I got your PM. Your OPK's look pretty positive to me, but just because you get a +OPK doesn't mean you O'd. Sometimes the body gears up to O and it just doesn't happen. Usually, the body will try again around a week to a week and a half later. Sometimes supplements can give you a false positive around 4-9dpo, but you never know. It seems like you've been BD'ing a lot, so that's good, but you still need to keep BD'ing until you see a real rise in temps. Since you haven't seen a rise yet, best to keep having sex every other day until you do. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I posted this on another thread when another girl was asking bout temps. I hope it helps.

What time do your normally temp at? The time you normally temp at is the one to record. Temp varies by time of day- even when sleeping. Your temp two hours before or after your normal time can be off by an entire degree F. (Half a degree Celsius). The circadian rhythm of our bodies regulates hormone release. Different hormones are released at different times and change our temperatures, our blood/urine properties, the way our brains function, etc. (Example: LH is produced at night and then released through the body beginning at daybreak and lasting throughout the day and into the evening, dissipating in the late-night unless you are mid-surge. This is why fmu is bad for opk's. You have to clear out all the late-night urine to make way for LH-bearing day urine.) There are many chemicals/hormones in our bodies that work with our cycles and change our temps. (Estrogen and progesterone to just name a couple.) So timing of your temp can even be more important than whether you got two hours or eight hours of sleep before temping. Note: If I recorded my temp from two hours after my normal time, it would look like I had O'd it rises so much!

The way your chart is right now, it looks like you may have possibly O'd yesterday. Last cycle you went up to 98.2 after O'ing. It looks like you hit that for the first time this cycle today. You still need two more days of high temps to confirm though- so keep BD'ing. I do not think you O'd on CD12. You're looking for a pattern in the chart. Your pattern from last cycle should give you an idea of how your temps behave post-O.

thanks hun i did think i ovulated yesterday and ill put the other temp back in then it will take away the ch for cd 12 . x

and ovulating later will it make af later ? ty sorry to be pain x

 

[Vic20581]

Well the crosshairs on ff have now dissapeared, so maybe i didnt ov. I take my temp st like 5am everyday n i put it in notes on my phone. Its only once i get up thatvi put it on m chart, as i was away this wknd. Downloaded the app, so wen i put the temp in the chart on the app it also recorded the time, so came up with solid crosshairs. But after adjustin the time, it has taken all sign of ov away.

how long ur cycles hun and wat day did it say u ovulated on ? i do know bout charts to some what just not me own this cylcle lol..pinksprinkles has been helping me alot with this month of temps x

 

[pinksprinkles]

sue- Yep. Ovulating later will push back AF until later. Based on your previous chart, if you did O yesterday then your AF would be due on the 11th. Looks like you've been BD'ing regularly, so FX you get your bfp. Keep BD'ing until you've had a sustained rise though!

Vic- Sorry O isn't working well for you this cycle. I'll keep an eye on your chart, hun.

ty hun xx

 

[Vic20581]

Well last cycle was 107 days n this one im on Cd55. They have always been far apart. Ttc before a few times, but got fed up with long cycles, so jus went back on bcp or implant. Its only the ladt few mths that iv started to take it seriously.

[Vic20581]

Its come back n said i ov on cd48, as temps went high again, but too me they dont look high enough, last night n today got really bad crampin on right side. I actually thought it might bevov pains.
Wat do u think?

[alin3boys]

could be implantation pain as you had a nice dip yesterday which would coincide with the cramping

Wondering if you guys wouldn't mind taking a look at my chart. This is my first month charting and I have been very consistent at temping at 6am. I feel like I may be heading towards an anovulatory cycle or I just have a bad thermometer (from Wal-mart) - my temps just seem to be so steady with random spikes? Also, last cycles I did get + OPK's but not yet this month. According to past months I'm supposed to O tomorrow or the day after (Aug 1st or 2nd). I'm hoping I will see my temps keep rising the next couple of days but not feeling very hopeful. Anyone else have another interpretation of my chart?

Lastly, I usually have quite a bit of CM before hand but this cycle, nothing.

 

[alin3boys]

what time of day do you do opks,if your temps stay high for 3 consecutive days u may get crosshairs in next couple of days

try testing with opk 2pm and 6pm to catch surge
