Slow Rise Question

[Suki73]

Ok, charting and checking in with Dr. Google are turning me into a nutbag. Can anyone tell me whether a slow rise - there's a gradual 3-day rise after ovulation and temperature then rockets up on day 4, is a problem?

All I see when I google is "slow rise...luteal phase defect." Does anyone else have this or any idea if it's something that generally poses a problem?

Temps are in celsius. Thanks

Dr. Google should be sued! Lol. He really can make a mountain out of a molehill. If you read on FF's website, they did a study of pregnant versus not pregnant charts and found no correlation between pregnancy and large shifts; a rise is a rise.

FF has managed to draw your crosshairs so I agree with Dmom, a rise is a rise.

My rise is just the same as yours , I think it shows you have ovulated . Good luck x

 

[Suki73]

Thanks ladies

Yes, Dmom, Dr. Google should be sued, but to be honest it's not really his fault. It's mine for being such a NEUROTIC, lol.

I guess a rise is a rise is a rise. I'm not doubting I ovulated, I'm worried about a slow rise being a possible marker of fertility issues...

But I have a longish luteal phase too, so maybe my body is just leisurely with everything, lol

Suki- don't let this be your new anxiety! If you start to analyze every piece of the puzzle and look for issues that aren't there, you will be bonkers in a week! Lol

I know Some would argue I already am bonkers, but I think I have a way to go yet

A rise is a rise Honestly if FF can draw cross hairs then I wouldn't worry

If you have a question in mind and look on google for more than 5 minutes you can find any answer you want and not all of it is from good sources

This TTC lark is hard enough without looking for extra worries so hard as it is to do try to relax

Jax.........I thought the same thing.....

Seriously, though...What if FF is wrong and you Oed on CD22? Did u continue to DTD?

FF wrong? What?!?

Actually it's all moot as we are not ttc this cycle. Yes, I actually get this hung up on a non-ttc month

I was concerned about the fact that my temp didn't rise abruptly until about 3 days after ov, just from a progesterone sufficiency pov.

And just for the record, my OH is definitely NOT a slow riser.

Interesting that FF gives you crosshairs on CD19. I would have guessed CD20 based on the fact you were still get a + OPK and still getting EWCM.

If you look at pregnancy charts on FF you'll see a lot that have a slow rise so I don't think its a big problem.

Yep, I have a 33 day cycle and a luteal phase of 14 days (still tracking this to know for definite though); so based on those averages OV would have been predicted for CD20. I had a slowish surge of LH though - definite but weaker positive on CD18, very strong positive on CD19, and back to a weaker positive on CD20. That's based on observation of the darkness of the line compared to the control line. The whole cycle seems fairly...leisurely.

From what I felt subjectively I would agree with FF. Didn't feel the "pop" or have OV pain this cycle, but I would put ovulation on the night of CD19.

Thanks for the reassurance re. the slow rise. I guess if you look at the ovulation dip and take that into account it's a fairly definitive shift, it just takes me a while to get up there around 36.70. FF is fantastic, I think. I've learned such a huge amount from taking their course
