Weird bbt chart?

[nevernormal]

So... this is only my second cycle of charting my bbt, but the first cycle the chart looked fairly "normal" as far as the ovulation-AF goes. Come to find out I only had a 5 day LP (according to fertilityfriend.com). The 1st half of the cycle was super long too. I've been off the pill since July 2010 (after being on it about a year), but I've never been regular anyway. We were hoping nature would take its course by this point without having to make getting pregnant such a calculated thing, but I only had 4 cycles before I decided to start charting (in Feb 2011)... so my DH and I decided I should at least try to figure out my body a little more...

Anyway, after figuring out the problem with my LP and doing some research, I ordered some vitex, and started taking it on day 12 of my current cycle. I started a B50 complex on day 17. Had a dip on day 20, and a spike on 21 and 22, but then my temp has fallen and now is around the coverline.

If I was doing it completely on my own, I would just guess that there was some sort of fluke and I didn't ovulate, but my ff chart still says that I did, and that right now I am 6dpo (well at least that would be a blessing... already a longer lp, and a shorter time before ovulating).

As far as I know I wasn't sick or anything those days. The only thing I can think of was it WAS a little warmer out and we didn't have the A/C on, so it could have affected my temp. BUT, last night warmer too, and my temp this morning was just above the coverline). Also, the spike was on the weekend when I wake up a little later in the morning, but in my first cycle of charting my waking time didn't really affect it.

Here's a link to my chart:

P.S. On the overlay, there is that huge gap of space... I was taking my those days but didn't record them... most of those temps were in the 96.4-96.9 range though

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Do you think it's possible I haven't ovulated yet? I was really hoping that the vitex and B50 complex were already helping :/

The dip could be implantation, although 5 DPO would be about the earliest I've ever seen as a possibility. Usually 7-11 DPO is the range for implantation. I'd just keep temping and see what you see. One day isn't a big deal in charting - it's the overall pattern that's important. It's just hard to remember in the thick of it!

Thanks for your input! My temp today (7dpo) was 96.6... no sign of AF yet. Of course vitamin B6 is supposed to help with pmsing and stuff, so my symptoms would probably be different anyway...

I think those high temps were maybe a fluke caused by a combination of waking up later and the warmer weather (haven't turned on the air conditioning yet, just have the windows open). This weekend I"m going to set my alarm to take my temp at the same time I do during the week. In my last cycle my temping time didn't really matter, but at least I can eliminate one other cause of things until the weather makes up its mind about what's going on!!!
