BBT Chart. Am I out?

Really hoping this would be the month but I don't think my post-ovulation temps are high enough or at least aren't steadily rising. I know it's early but does anyone have an honest opinion on this from my BBT alone? I'm good at taking it on time each day, just the one marked that was different.

I actually think it looks pretty good but I don’t want to risk raising your hopes on this alone. The temps are consistently above your base so fingers crossed for you!

So that's perfect timing for an implantation dip.

Thanks for your responses ladies. I hope it goes back up tomorrow but I just don't feel hopeful. 😔

My BFP had a double peak just like that Smile

It didn't go back up today. Maybe that spoke was an anomaly. I hate waiting!

IME impossible to tell until AF or the day after. Mine only drops or rises then.

QuilliamCakespeare · 19/12/2017 10:04

What are you talking about? It has gone up again! I'd put money on you being pregnant.

I meant that it's dipped back down. On other people's charts, when they are pregnant, they seem to keep rising. However, I'm not very experience in all this charting! Cakespeare, I hope you're right. FX

Hi OP
My BBTs weren't steadily rising but they were def above the coverline.

Here is my chart from last month- got BFP around CD33 or 34. I kind of knew I was pregnant already just from the chart pattern. Also read "Taking charge of your fertility" which was v helpful re chart interpretation.

Good luck!

@TurquoiseDress Thanks. Hopefully it will work soon! Also, congrats on your BFP.

@Zoey36 Nope, my BFP did the double peak thing. I wish I'd kept a screenshot now Smile

Ah ha at last I think this will post!

This one is from earlier on in my cycle.
From temping I pretty much knew that I normally ovulate in CD15- temp spike usually on CD16.

Interestingly, last month (when I conceived) my OPKs were consistently negative.

They were the cheap sticks from the interest. Had only ever splashed out once a pack of CB dual hormone sticks.

I truly thought I was out last month after temp dip on CD30- tend to always get this on day of AF.

Temping was a pain when I first tried it over a year ago but then I read the book, which helped make things so much clearer, explaining exactly why/what etc of doing BBT.

It gave me a sense of control and reassurance that I was ovulating.

As for OPKs- personally for me they weren't much use, I'd be wondering if I'd missed the LH surge, did I actually ovulate?

So many times we DTD around the time of positive OPK and bugger all happened! I can see their use to pinpoint fertile days but I'm a bit sceptical...

RyvitaBrevis · 20/12/2017 00:19

I don't think you're out Zoey36. Goodness knows how long I've spent going through the chart gallery on Fertility Friend, and there are quite a few that dip that way and are still BFPs. I've even seen a couple where the dip goes below the coverline, despite what the rule says.

QuilliamCakespeare · 20/12/2017 06:08

When are you due to test? Hoping you get a Christmas present!

@TurquoiseDress Thanks so much for posting your chart. I see what you mean about yours not steadily rising. Also thanks for all the wisdom! @QuilliamCakespeare I'm finding it so hard not to POAS so far this time round! I'll be 10dpo tomorrow and might get a FRER. Is that silly?!

BertieBotts · 20/12/2017 06:30

A dip only counts if it goes back down under the coverline. Mine has gone in an arch even though I've had bfp this cycle. Sorry can't share from mobile, but will post later.

HanSpan1 · 20/12/2017 07:12

Heres mine so far this month, had a steady rise at the main points i think so far, lets see if it stays high!

@HanSpan1 that looks text book to me and well don't for all the deeds!

Owlpatrol · 20/12/2017 07:40

This is mine so far doesn't look neither here nor there but reading the previous posts it almost doesn't matter with bbt it just tells you if you've ovulated

Here's mine with BFP added (it keeps telling me not to keep temping - I assume to reduce anxiety!)
