AF w/o Temp Drop?

1fish2fish3fish · September 2010

I was under the impression that you have a temp drop, below your coverline, when AF is about to show. Is it possible to get AF with no temp drop? What about with a temp rise? I thought I was spotting for the last few days, but I think it may be a bit more than that, so I changed it to light on my chart. My temps had gone up though, and were quite a bit above my coverline. I'm not sure if you'll be able to tell, now that I changed it, since it started a new cycle now. My coverline was at 97.39, yesterday's temp was WAY above that at 98.18, and today's temp was lower than yesterday but still much above the coverline at 97.97.

Any ideas? I'm kinda stumped. If my temps don't drop tomorrow, I'm going to be extra confused. Ugh...:(

sorry cant help, but was wondering the same thing. i have NEVER spotted before AF and ALWAYS had a temp drop before AF came. i now have had 2 days of tiny bit of "spotting" ...i guess ill see what happens tomorrow.

**waiting to see what others say**

I was thinking it was implantation bleeding, but I'm not sure. It's tough this time around to tell if it's bleeding or spotting...I just hope either it stops, and my temps stay up, in which case I'll test again and hope for a BFP, OR I hope my temps drop and AF just gets here for real so I can stop wondering. How frustrating!!

my last two cycles I've gotten AF w/o a temp drop--the drop came 2-3 days in. Ironically enough, the temps the day AF showed up--both times--was the exact same temp (97.18)

Last cycle I had a small drop, but it was still above the cover line.

This cycle I'm already below the cover line I'm not spotting or anything, yet.

Jeez! That's crazy...what are the chances?

I thought one of the good things about charting was that you'd "know" when to expect AF...but if this is the case, how would I ever know? Boo!
