Can anyone tell me about my F-ed up drop in temp today??? I mean, it did get cold in my apartment last night (it dropped to about 28 degrees F outside Brr). So i dont know if thats what caused the tramendous drop in BBT. I just hope its not Ovulation because my coverline would be seriously messed up! Whatdaya think?

 

[Guppy051708]

Doodar, it is VERY possible that you will still Ov this month!
If there is a change in cycle length, the change always happens during the pre-ovulation time, not during the LP (unless you're taking something to lengthen your LP, but thats a whole different story). Im betting that you will have a longer cycle, but that you will still Ov.

Thanks for looking
Yeah...i tested twice actually. you know how i love pissing on sticks!
I tested around 4AM (thats when i get up to put my temps in FF, before i forget ) and a line did appear, but it was very faint. I then retested around 11:30AM and the LH line appeared very quickly and was a bit darker, but its still def. NOT a positive. Its amazing how quickly that hormone is changing though!

Hey chartstalkers!

I was wondering if you could have a look at my chart and see what you think? I have only been temping the past 5 days so I know I can't get a complete picture of what's going on with my cycle but those 5 days have all shown a steady temp rise... lastnight, symptoms wise, I really felt like I might be pregnant...BFN this morning.

Pretty sure my cycle is regular and generally 29 days. May vary a day or two but very rarely any more than that.

I just want to know if I'm mad to think that this temp rise is a sign despite the BFN? Do many people get such an obvious and sustained rise so close to AF(due tomorrow)? Not afraid to hear it as it is!

oh and forgot to mention I temped vaginally at 7am every morning...

Welcome New Moon!

Well, like you said its hard to know for sure since there are only 5 temps there, however, it does look promising! How many DPOs do you think you are? it could just be too early to get a positive on a HPT. I would keep retesting. I think your chart is looking great though!

 

[NewMoon]

Thanks for your input Guppy... I'm guessing I ovulated some day between 14-16 from my CM (and increased sex drive on the 15th!) which would make me 13-15 dpo now. I think most women would get a + on a HPT at this point? Hoping I'm an exception but don't want to raise my hopes too high either! I will keep my fingers crossed for you too...make sure your apartment stays warm tonight!

 

[Guppy051708]

yeah. I dont know what in the hell is wrong with the heat [or the lack thereof] in here. I had it set, with the heat on at 73 degrees F only to awake to find it at 67 degrees F BRR!!

Anywho...well it would depend on A.) if you really did Ov on the day you think you did [though most woman know their bodies so you are probably correct] and B.) what DPO implantation took place. If it happened at, lets say 10 DPO (an average day for that type of thing to happen) than that could be why you still have a . Or maybe AF is on her way, though im not so sure about that since you still have rising temps at this point. Also wanted to add that some woman dont get positive HPTs for a good while into their pregnancy so thats a possibility too.

Guppy that low dip could mean Ov is imminent. I used to get that before I O'd most cycles. Keep doing the opks!

 

[Guppy051708]

thanks dear! EEKK!!! i am so flippin excited!!!!! im feeling so positive about this month, Im like a kiddo at Christmas with this whole ovulating thing and testing thing!! AHHH so excited!!!

 

[Guppy051708]

btw, Kelly, at this point, how often (in a day) do you recommend doing the OPKs. I have about 15 left and i know for a fact that i wont be needing them much longer, so what are your thoughts?

 

[Kelly9]

Depends on how fast your surge shows up, mine would give me faint liines for a couple of days then go dark around the same time every month. If you only get 1 or 2 faint ones before positive then I would recommend doing 2 a day. One around 1pm and another around 7ish that way you don't miss the surge. My surge almost always lasted 2 days as well if you check my chart you'll see. Good luck!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks for the advice Kelly!
I will try that for sure.

 

[NewMoon]

I agree with Kelly... though I'm not an experienced temper, I have looked at loads of charts on fertilityfriend and a good number seem to have a dip just prior to ovulation...

 

[Guppy051708]

can somone explain to me this Ovulation dip thing. I have heard of it before but i dont understand it exactly. Does the dip occur on the day of Ov or is it the day before? And if you get the dip at, lets say 4AM does that mean that Ov will occur or has it already happened?

Basically im still getting negative OPKs today, even though I already had the dip...so what I am asking is, can i still Ov today but it just hasnt happened yet?

 

[Kelly9]

The dip doesn't mean you will O it just means you possible could. Some months I had 2 dips before I did so don't fret!

Guppy - I think the temps going down is because of increasing oestrogen as you near ov. Look how mine went down for a couple of days then up a couple then straight back
down just before ov.
Your temp seems to go down about 6 days before ov which would put you in line for CD20 like your other cycles. I know you are hoping to ov earlier (and I am hoping the same for you) but my OPKs showed a faint line from CD7 - normally get nothing until a couple of days before it gets darker - and I ov'd day 22.
I would say do 1 OPK a day but thats because I have only ever picked up anything at 9-10am. On my positive OPK days I had positive 9-10am, then completely blank in the evening then back to positive the next day. I suppose if you have spare it doesn't hurt.
