Reading my tempt chart

I am new to tempting my chart and am still learning how to read it. I do know that I am on clomid and according to my tempt chart with fertilityfriend and how my body has been feeling, I swore I ovulated twice around CD15 and 18. I thought I had an implantation dip around 6dpo and now my temp went down again today. I am unsure how to read it because what I thought I read as 2 different days of ovulation which were about 3 days apart, and now 2 different possible implantation dips about 3 days apart as well. Help, what does everyone else read when they see my chart? I am concerned I may be out this month and have to start clomid again. And now am unsure when I my AF is due. Originally thought it was due 8/6 ot 8/7. Trying to keep hope that I may have a changce but not sure now.

It looks to me you ovulated once on cycle day 14. You need 3 sustained, high temps to confirm ovulation, which you didn't have before CD14. The dip at 6dpo may be an implantation dip, or it could have just been a fluke. I had a dip in my temps between 5 and 7 dpo almost every cycle, but I've never been pregnant. Your chart looks good so far, and you're definitely not out until AF. If you're being monitored while on Clomid, your doctor should be able to predict and confirm your ovulation, so you shouldn't really need to chart. I stopped charting once I started seeing an RE and it's actually made things less stressful for me as I'm not overanalyzing every temperature and sign. On the other hand, I completely understand the obsession and value of confirming O when not being monitored.

Regarding your AF due date, AF typically shows 14 days after O. However, Clomid can extend days between O and AF by a few days. When on Clmoid, mine was typically extended by 2 or 3 days. I believe it's because Clomid can increase your progesterone level post-O.Married to DH 10/6/12TTC since 5/14Unexplained with (controlled) hypothyroidism and suspected ovulatory dysfunction (but, I do ovulate on my own)Clomid 50 mg 3/15 (unmonitored) - BFNClomid 50 mg + metformin 4/15 (unmonitored) - BFNFirst RE appt. 5/15; Natural cycle 5/15 monitored with 2 mature follicles and Pregnyl Trigger (full dose) + prometrium - BFN6/15 HSG - clear tubes & normal uterus; great PCT test resultsTI - 100 mg Clomid + prometrium (AM & PM) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 6-7/15 (monitored) --> no additional response and thinned lining - BFNTI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cystsBC for 2 weeks due to cystsTI - Injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & full dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 10/15 --> 1 mature follicle --> BFNTI - Last attempt at injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + crinone (AM only) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 11/15 --> 3-4 mature follicles --> BFP!! 11/27/15 @ 13dpo (shockingly, actually waited until then to test)Beta #1 @ 16dpo (11/30/15) = 1,075Beta #2 @ 19dpo (12/3/15) = 3,150One baby: Saw heartbeat @ 5w5d (114 bpm; baby measuring 2.3mm)"Great Things are Happening"
