in Trying to Get Pregnant

So with charting your BBT each morning right before you O you should notice a dip in your temp then a few days after, your temp shoud rise?

Sorry, completely newb question, but this is my first cycle charting.

    not everyone sees a dip.  But if you did O, then your temps will go up...

    ETA: in my case, I think the only cycle I had a true "dip" was the cycle that started 6/26...

    You'd be considered "lucky" if you got a dip on the day of ovulation.  Some girls may have one, some may not.  Some months you may have one, some months you may not.  But each month, the day AFTER ovulation, your temperature will rise and it will stay elevated above your "cover line" for at least 3 days for FF to give you crosshairs.  Depending on the length of your LP, it should stay elevated for 10-ish to 16-ish days before your either get your period or you test and get a BFP.  =)  Most of us here always hope for the 2nd option.  Good luck!

    Thanks ladies! Being my first time charting, it's kind of confusing. I'm trying to cover all the basics if I plan on doing this for the next few cycles. :)

    You should sign up on FF (through one of our tickers) and read the FAQs and take the tutorials.  They will answer a lot of your questions.

    np...fertilityfriend has lots of great tutorials, and I would pick up a copy of Taking charge of your fertility as this should also answer many of your questions.

    Thanks so much! I ordered that book from amazon just today. And, I'm on FF, I've been reading through their tutorial course. Just making sure I have all my basics covered :)
