Any temp experts out there?

[Help1983uk]

Hi all, just wondering if someone could give me some insight as to what they think about my 6po dip? Does that actually look like my O day? This all so confusing! I sleep with my mouth open most days so my temps are low in general. Thank you xxx

@Help1983uk I'd say based on all your other signs FF looks correct at CD17. Its very common to get a random temp drop or two, but as long as your temps go back up then they're just one offs and nothing to worry about

@Ohana6419 Ok thank you. I did get some cramping 6 dpo on my left hand side (same place I had on days 16 and 17) so I did wonder if it might've been my body trying to ovulate again or something. I guess I'll know next week

I always get a dip like this around 5/6dpo

@bee222 do you get a higher temps during the 2nd half of the luteal stage?

Have you tried temping vaginally? I’m a mouth breather and I got a lot of funny temps that’s stressed me out because of it. Last month I temped vaginally and my chart was a lot smoother and easier to read. Saying all that, I don’t think it’s uncommon to have a 1 day drop midway through luteal phase as long as your temps go back up. I think the rule to confirm ovulation is to have had at least 3 temps in a row above the cover line and it looks like you had that.

The May one I temped orally and July I temped vaginally so you can see difference!

@MrsS147 I think I'll have to def do that after this cycle as my temps are def all over the place, it's 9 dpo today and it's dropped again to just below the cover line (to 36c) my period isn't due until Tuesday/Wednesday, but maybe it'll be sooner than I thought. Thank you for sharing your charts - the difference is massive
