Charters w/recent BFP's... question...

HappyAardvark · January 2011

Did your BFP chart look any different to you compared to charts from previous, non-BFP cycles? Did you get an implantation dip, or were your temps on average way higher than normal or noticeably higher than your coverline from other cycles, or anything else that seemed different?

Just curious. If nothing about your chart on your BFP cycle stood out to you, I'd be interested in hearing that too!

Nope. I had an ugly chart (link in sig). Temps were lower than last cycle (but last cycle we were traveling, and I drank) and it was very rocky. The day I got my BFP was a day I had a temp dip. I really wanted a pretty chart but mine was ugly. I noticed that sometimes the prettiest charts end in AF while the ugly charts go on to get BFP.

My temps continued to elevate day by day with no dip bigger than .1 degree, where in past cycles, they went up and down during my LP. ETA: this cycle was long and ugly, with only the last two weeks resembling a pretty chart. I really thought I was out until about four days before I tested.

Mine wasn't pretty either. In fact FF never even determined O but I know I did by my body but my temps were very weird all cycle. I started using Vitex and I'm not sure if that had made my pre O temps a lot higher. But whatever I got BFP so even if you are unsure ya never know. No implantation dip for me or nothing totally different about my chart except my temps were higher all cycle.

Hey Happy!

You can take a look at my chart as well. It was a mess. I'm quite sure my BBT broke at the end hence the smae temp for days. I had a night of staying up late plus drinking and a day where I was sick. I thought I was out but tested on a whim. Definitely a surprise BFP.

Not much more to offer, but I have a link to my BFP chart as well. Nothing different about mine, no implantation dip. I have to say I really expected higher temps if I was KU'd, but nope...

Good luck!

My chart was so ugly! I had been sick, and felt like my temps were all over the place before and around O time. Then I quit temping in the 2ww because I had started spotting, and thought AF was on her way. Turns out it was implantation bleeding, and I wished that I hadn't stopped temping!

kathymarie · January 2011

Mine was less erratic...but I also abstained from drinking during the 2ww when I got pg. I was also only the 2nd cycle after my m/c, so I'm not sure what my "normal" really is.

Check my chart (link in siggy). There's an overlay.

I like your staircase pattern. Your chart looks really great. I hope this is it for you!

I don't have my chart linked anymore. It was ugly- but it was always ugly. The difference this time was that FF never gave me crosshairs using temps. I had to change the settings to OPK (I was sure of my O day because of 8 cycles previously charting). The other difference was that I was on my 2nd cycle using Prometrium for 10 days after O and this time didn't spot at 7 DPO like every cycle previous. I got a very faint BFP 9DPO. Good luck!

Thanks! I wasn't fishing for chart compliments but I'll definitely take the good vibes! My temps this cycle are higher than they've ever been above coverline, even higher and less erratic than last cycle, which ended in a c/p.

My temps went up to over 98 which they have not done before and stayed high (see siggy for link)

kygal9877 · January 2011

I actually did see an implantation dip... it was the 10th day after ovulation. I went back down 1 full degree. Either that or it was just a bad reading... but I still ended up preggo

MamaKayTee · January 2011

My BFP chart is in my siggy. My chart confused me since I got a +OPK, but didn't get an obvious temp jump until about 5 days later. Despite not having a "by the book" chart, it worked. Best of luck to you!

Suesse2009 · January 2011

I work nights so my charts were never really pretty. The cycle I got pregnant my temps post O were more consistent than previous cycles. That is why I decided to test at 10 DPO if my temp still looked nice that day. It was and I got a positive. I also did have a dip below coverline on day 7. Whether or not it was actually an implantation dip or not I don't know but on day 7 it could have been.

Geekchick921 · January 2011

I charted for all 8 cycles of TTC this time, and my charts usually looked very promising. Clear temp shift, often rising temperatures, sometimes what looked to be an implantation dip, etc. This cycle I absolutely did not have anything that looked like an implantation dip, but promising nonetheless. I tried not to get my hopes up about it, though, as that was per usual.

Here's my homepage on FF if you want to see it. The unnamed med I charted was just Preseed. Our first time using it and I think it did the trick. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2037b3

ohfour · January 2011

Looked pretty much the same as usual. I was just feeling strange at 9DPO, and at 10DPO I randomly decided to test in the middle of the day and BFP.

kellym243 · January 2011

I only started charting temps this past cycle, so you can see what is there if you want to click (top of siggy). But I did stalk your chart and looks decent to me... when will you test?

cozylittlecave · January 2011

My chart seemed a little wonky, but when I used chart overlay, it matched up clearly with the other BFP several months ago. The temps seemed to stay higher on them while BFNs slowly started down around 5DPO or so.
