Chart question

csspencercsspencer member
in TTC After a Loss

So I'm relatively new at charting. I did start the cycle I got pg, but that was a halfa** attempt. So this cycle I really started trying...but I'm so confused. I think I O'ed, I got a +OPK on the 14th (CD19), and FF says I should get AF on the 3/2, but today my temps dropped big time. And AF is not here. I'm not sure if it's because I went to bed a little later than usual...can anyone give me some insight? Thanks!

PS-I know I'm not pregnant, were are actively TTA this cycle.

    Usually when my temp drops AF shows up either that day or the day after, so I would expect it soon. I don't think going to bed a little later than usual would account for a temp drop like that. I agree with FF as far as when you O'd.

    Good luck with charting :)

    Many people get a temp drop when AF is due, but it doesn't have to be that very day. She might come later today, or in the next couple of days. Or, like you said, your temp for today could just be off. It is not reliable to read much in to any single temp, because there are a number of things that could cause an off day. 

    FF is predicting 3/2 because it is assuming you have a 14 day luteal phase. The more you chart, the better FF will be able to predict your AF date.  

    Be prepared for AF today. If she isn't here today and your temp stays low tomorrow, I bet she will be here soon.

    I think your chart shows a very clear O date, good job Yes

    Also, a temp drop can indicate AF is on her way, especially one as low as you had, but it does not mean it will happen today.  Many women do start their period on the day of their temp drop and for some it may take a few days.  One, lone temp can't really give you too much information, you have to look at the big picture.  Fx she stays away until at least tomorrow so you're LP is at least 10 days!
