Implantation dip?

alison727

Hi all I was just curious if anyone could help me out and look at my chart. I have had AF cramps since 02/05 and then I had stretchy pulling cramps on sat (2/8) and now a temp dip this morning. Does this sound like it could be implantation? Or opinions think it's too early for that? Just looking for some thoughts.

You can't know if it is implantation related without a positive test a few days later. It is all in hindsight. Don't read so much into it.

Also, is there a reason FF hasnt given yoiu CH? Looks like a pretty obvious temp shift.

I have lots of dips in my cycle. They mean nothing.

I didn't get a CH line until I went and removed my CM from FF because to FF it didn't match the OPKs. 

alison727

No I'm not sure why. Maybe cause I don't have the full version?

Yeah I had a feeling that I wouldn't know until either bfp or AF came. I just thought it seemed early so I was curious if any did get and implantation dip this early on.

Thanks guys. Just one last question if it is in fact an imp dip does that mean implantation HAS occurred or is GOING to occur?

Dips mean zero. I had a beautiful chart last cycle and a bfn.

You're totally pregnant!   Is that better?  

FF has great tutorials and FAQ on all topics. Link below.  Otherwise, as PP have said, don't read anything into it. I think this is your first month charting, so you really have to try not to obsess over every little thing.  GL!

I copied this from the link sister gave of FF... It sums up everything everyone has said.

"When you see a mid-luteal phase dip on your chart, however, it does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. Likewise, you do not have to see this pattern to be pregnant. As long as you have intercourse in your fertile time, you have a chance to be pregnant with any ovulation pattern."

I really wouldn't read anything into the dip.

I'm more concerned about why you don't have CH's. What detector setting are you using?

That's not the answer I was looking for not expecting anyone to tell me that. I was just curious and not reading into just questioning how the body works. This is not my first month charting just asking question just to see some opinions that's all. I know no matter what anyone says it's not going to change the outcome I receive.

Make sure your ovulation detection method is set on advanced. Doesn't matter if you have VIP or not, you should still get ch's. But you're only 5dpo. Too early for implantation so that dip is just random.

Settings are set to advanced. I'm confused also.

I believe the theory about implantation dips is that the act of implanting sucks up your progesterone or revs up your estrogen or somehow has an effect on your hormones (I don't know how exactly and too lazy to look it up) which causes a temporary temp dip - so the dip would be during/after implantation.

Ah, okay.  Maybe a good idea to go over the FF tutorials again, it just seemed like a question for someone new to charting, or who hadn't taken the FF tutorials, which cover this topic. 

Also, a lot of FAQ questions pop up automatically on the screen of FF that relate to your chart, so keep an eye out for those.

Thanks guys I fig it was after or during I did some searching but I hadn't seen anything specifically on that just that it's around day 6-12.

I don't know why my temps are so favored I am using a bbt and in the previous months they had normal ranges ups and downs. Not sure why this month all of a sudden it's staying at exactly 97. I did quit smoking but that's the only thing I can think of that I have done diff this month but I don't even think that would have any effect.

It's common to have favored temps on Target brand BBTs-are you using one of these?

No I'm not sure what brand but not target. But the previous months they were not like this. I attached another moth just to compare. I don't know why so many flat lines this month.

Like PPs have said dips don't mean much, when I see one in my luteal phase,  I also jump on the cray cray train, but if you look through chart galleries you will see tons of charts with dips that resulted in BFN.  The other problem is that yours was on 5DPO.  If this were an implantation dip it would mean you implanted at 4DPO, which is super early, maybe even too early.  Nothing to do but wait now

It would be funny if there was a product named Implantation Dip. I wonder what it would taste like? Would I use tortilla chips or potato chips with my Implantation Dip?

Maybe it would be more like fun dip?

That is exactly where my mind went!

@NellyBluth it would be made of pom juice, pineapple core, and cum.

lebradford

Implantation Dip would definitely be savory, not sweet. I would eat mine with OPKale Chips. I think I'm going to start a line of TTC-themed snacks....

OP, you have to keep in mind that charting is really only meant to help you pinpoint ovulation. It is NOT meant to predict pregnancy. The prettiest charts can end in BFNs, and the ugliest charts can be BFPs. I've had both textbook pretty and butt ugly charts, 'implantation dips' and 'triphasics', high or low pregnancy predictor points in FF, all cycles not pregnant. Please step away from trying to read pregnancy into your charts, it's useless and futile to do so and will only feed the crazy. Be happy if you confirm ovulation and have good timing, that's all anyone should expect from temping/charting.
