Can anyone let me know if I have charted the Temperature Shift correctly? Also, why has my temperature dropped today? It isn't a lot, but I thought it should be rising if I have conceived.

Hi, @knottie1c898d4d43dc3bbd,

Welcome to TTGP!

This board operates a bit differently than some of the other boards on The Bump. First of all, we generally discourage one-off posts, as it helps keep the board organized and less cluttered. Take a few minutes and read through the pinned posts at the top of the board, it will give you some guidance as to how we operate.

https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12685680/the-ultimate-ttgp-guide-newbies-read-this-first/p1

Once you look through that, you can go ahead and introduce yourself in the weekly Newbie thread. This would probably be a great fit for our Chart Stalk/Question thread. Read through our daily threads and questions threads, you'll find some help there.

Good luck!

Well, maybe you didn't conceive.

Just as a note, I think it’s less important what the temp does after O, especially if it doesn’t drop below the cover line. Lurking in FF, I’ve seen plenty of pregnancy charts that have a dip. That said, I feel like this post violates the terms of use by basically asking if you are pregnant. Your post reeks of “Could I still be pregnant even with a dip in the TWW?” The answer to that question is yes. You could be, but you also could not be. We can’t tell you what’s going on in there. If you want to learn a lot of valuable information about the TTC process, follow the above advice and join in properly. Offer support to get support from some amazing women. If it turns out you are KU, don’t come back here to update the community. Many of these women have never been pregnant after trying for many years. They don’t need random people they don’t know showing up to brag about success.

Also, I don't understand newbie chart people. Does NO one read TCOYF?!? I mean, charting is great and I highly recommend it; however, a single temp means about jack shyte. The point of charting is to see an OVERALL pattern in YOUR cycle so that you can get an idea of how long your cycles are, specifically your luteal phase. So you can see IF it appears you're ovulation. So you know approximately when you ovulate so you can try to recognize the signs etc. to hit your FW.
Peeps need to stop hyper-focusing on their FIRST chart and just a few temps!!!!!!!

I'm not really sure how we can tell you if you charted YOUR temp shifts correctly... Did you temp? Did you record the temp that appeared on the thermometer? If so, then your temp shifted the way your body was telling it to.

@kpearse99 of course I always falsify my temp entries so it shows a temp shift 😏

tyrion_ · November 2019

@inthewoods23 I am belly laughing at “falsify my temp entries.” Because I sometimes do to force crosshairs but I delete them later for the real ones 😂😂😂

also, @stassischroeder coming in with what we all were thinking. Always a pleasure to see you.

kpearse99 · November 2019

@inthewoods23 Well, I mean - that's how you can accurately O on the day you want instead of what the temps were telling you, right?!

legendairymomma · November 2019

@kpearse99 wait... you can't just make your body ovulate?!? I have been doing it alllll wrong. I told my reproductive system when to do its thing... maybe thats why I got a bfn today. 🤔

kpearse99 · November 2019

@legendairymomma I mean you caaaaaan... as long as it's on the precise day that your body was already going to O on! hahaha

An implantation dip can occur anywhere between 7-10 DPO, so it would make sense to have one at 8 DPO if you did conceive this cycle. Although, I have had an implantation dip even during cycles in which I did not conceive. Many things can affect your BBT - room temperature, illness, hell even if you had the covers off you one morning. The important thing is to keep in mind that BBT is just one of the things that can be attributed to tracking your fertility. Is it important to track your BBT when TTC? Yes. Is it the end of the world if it is not 100% accurate? No.

Chill out, take a deep breath. This is your first month tracking your cycle - it should not be this stressful. <---- I sound like a hypocrite because I know how stressed I can get in this journey, but whatevs. I'm trying to be supportive instead of being a bog monster. So there ya go.
