Anybody want to stalk my chart?

I don't start posts very often but was hoping someone could give me some insight on my chart. This month I have only been charting my temps and not CM. I know charting CM would have helped get a clearer picture of when I really O'd.

 Anyway, FF had originally put cross hairs at  CD 12 (which would be early for me) but on CD 21 it moved my cross hairs to CD 17. Just curious when you all thought I might have O'd. (I'm kind of bummed because my temp dipped below the coverline this morning...oh well).  Thanks!

Did you link your chart? I can't find it?

I kind of agree with FF, but it's hard since you aren't using CM or OPKs or anything to help collaborate with FF.

I think FF is correct... I know its normal to dip a little bit below the coverline sometimes... could be implantation... but also might be a little early... Without any other signs I can't say for sure

A dip at 6 dpo is called an implantation dip. It could mean implantation, or nothing. I've had an implantation dip on my last 2 charts. As you can see, I'm not KU.

Yeah I think FF might be correct.

One or two temps below the cover line is no big deal. I had a temp fall below the coverline a couple of days ago, and now my temps are back up. Remember, the cover line is really just a visual tool and really has no major significance during your LP.

I do agree with FF based on temps alone. I would highly suggest at least tracking CM next cyle.

Based on temps alone, I would say CD 12.

Um, no. It's not called an implantation dip if you weren't pregnant that cycle (and even then - you can't be sure the dip was actually from implantation). Temps can dip in the 2ww from hormones.

Ok. Thanks everyone! That would be cool if it where an implantation dip, but it probably isn't with my luck, lol. Hoping this cycle is it, if not, then I'm on to cycle 12 and my 1 year mark...

I would say you ovulated on day 17 b/c your next 5 temps are higher than your last 6. If you had sex within your fertile window the dip below your coverline could be an implantation dip. If it is then your temp tomorrow should rise above your coverline. You will just have to wait and see. Looking at your other charts your cycles are very irregular. Have you thought about trying an OPK for your next cycle?

 I tried OPK's one month and didn't get a positive one. I'll probably try those again next cycle.

True. But for simplicity sake, a dip below around 6-8 dpo can be called an implantation dip. Like I said, it doesn't necessarily mean actual implantation. I agree that it's normal to have temp dips from hormones, but there tend to be more pregnancy charts with implantation dips, than non-pregnancy charts.

The same argument could be made for cd12, with a cover line drawn at 97.5 degrees. Heck, then you could say her chart when triphasic before yesterday dip (impending AF?) Then today's temp also would still be above cover.

OP I second the opk's, especially oven your historically irregular cycles. Also, chart CM. you don't have to go digging for it, general observation while wiping is fine. It will help clear up these discrepancies. Your charting so many specifics, it seems silly to me that your not charting the basics.

I'm sorry, but this does not make any sense.  It is NOT an implantation dip if there is no implantation occuring.  It may be a TEMP DIP, but it is not an implantation dip if you don't end up pregnant.  An implantation dip cannot be called that until after the fact, when you ultimately end up pregnant.

Fine. It's a TEMP DIP.  https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Implantation-dip.html

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Implantation-dip-study.html and they call it a luteal phase dip (correctly) here. FF also calls sex "BD" so it doesn't always use the proper wording for everything.
