hi velo!
I take it at 8am every month, the alarm goes off and hubby turns it off and I just roll over and put it in my mouth! there was a couple of days I was late and those were marked with the hollow circle on my chart. I dont feel stressed this month, in fact Ive made a lot of lifestyle changes which include less work, and I now have weekly massages and pedicures, and I exercise most days. I will definitely be taking my charts to my FS next time I see her. I was hoping that if I have any hormone imbalance that my charts would show that. So you are saying your chart is similar?
You sound very consistent! I have a bit more variability at what time I wake up. Your lifestyle changes sound fab! You can see my charts from my sig link, I do have some bigger ups and downs in the luteal phase. My TCM said he would like to see it stay up and also to be higher temps overall.
I've scrutinized over a lot of pregnancy charts on FF to get an idea, and while there is a great variation in patterns that can cause pregnancy, mostly the temps rise to a high point and stay relatively high.
Since your coverline is fairly low, and you have some fallbacks, I might ask about your progesterone levels. Were those tested as part of the fertility workup? Did they do a one-day test (typically day 21?) for that or did they do a series of 3 days (that's supposed to be a better indicator) That is something that possibly can be supported by progesterone creams etc. but I wouldn't do anything without a doctor's advice.
Obviously its probably better to wait to analyze until you have the whole picture of the whole cycle though too. Having one dip about a week or so after ovulation is normal, as there can be an estrogen surge then. Some people call it an implantation dip, but this can occur in both pregnancy and non-pregnancy cycles. (I got excited a couple times after the dip to no avail)
