Experienced charters--AF temp drop

sophie206 · June 2012

Hi - I often see posts in which people say they are expecting AF because of temp drops in the 2WW. I am wondering what the temp drop looks like when people say this? Is it a steady downward trend (see my chart) or a sudden drop below the coverline? Either? Thanks

It can look either way. Sometime it'll reach and peak and then start dropping bit by bit. Other ladies have a dramatic drop from one day to the next

This can be different for everyone. For me it is an abrupt drop in temp where I start AF usually that day or the day after...if you want to look at my last cycle in my sig (took a charting break this cycle). Hope that helps!

There's no set rule. It's different for everyone, and can even differ from cycle to cycle. Women who say this usually have experience charting their cycles and know their cycle patterns/trends. You need a couple more months of temping before you'll be able to see what kind of drop you have.

Mine really varies. Sometimes I get a drop below coverline, sometimes it stays up and drops the next day and sometimes it is a small drop. If you want examples, my charts are linked to my ticker.

I have had it happen many different ways. I've had the dramatic drop below or just above the CL or the gradual drop. I've also had AF start when there wasn't much of a drop. So, it can be different for everyone!

Okay, thanks ladies. And thanks for the chart examples! I'll have to watch for my own patterns since it varies. I guess I am not necessarily out for this cycle, yet.
