Any BBT Charters about?

[TwittleBee]

Hoping someone can take a look at my chart please. I'm anywhere between 24 days and 31 days cycle length but majority of the time I am 28 days. My period starts on 10dpo but yesterday AF was a no show but so was a BFP on a FRER that morning.

Anyway, I'm wondering if maybe I actually haven't ovulated yet? Maybe temps were only up due to being ill and I didn't actually ovulate till CD19? I did have some ovulation like twinge that day too.

But then I've had a massive temp drop this morning too so maybe AF is arriving today?

The higher temps could be due to illness like you say but also the drop today could mean af on the way. Annoying like most things in ttc it's a waiting game 😡
When I was ill last week ff didn't use the temps for those days as it said they disregard illness days. Are you a vip member? I just have the basic free one but wondering if it's worth upgrading.

Thank you for your reply!

I used to be a VIP member, had found it really worth it too whilst we were TTC our DS2! Love the comparison feature with similar charts. Maybe I should invest in that feature again.

You are right, looks to just be a waiting game though! I'll take another test tomorrow morning if AF doesnt show today! FX

I had a illness/ovulation rise this month too - it's so difficult trying to separate them!
10 days is quite short for a luteal phase. My best mate was told she needed to have at least 11days to allow for implantation so was given meds' by her G.P. to extend hers up from 10 days. I think she was told it was low progesterone although I wouldn't swear to it.

I'm not too worried about the LP length as I have had 2 successful pregnancies now (even if my second pregnancy ended at 28 weeks with DS dying at 5 days old) and have had a MMC as well as a couple early MCs so my body can certainly get pregnant with the length of the LP.

Is super annoying though isnt it with the illness Vs ovulation rise! Like how do we differentiate and what if we actually ovulated on tail end of the illness, how would we know? Guess it is a case of waiting and seeing - once we have a period (although I bloomin hope neither of us do!!) then I guess we can backtrack it to work out when we ovulated

I have been prescribed 5mg of folic acid though so maybe that will help with the MCs but wonder if that will effect ovulation or LP length too? Not having any of my usual pre period symptoms either though

Sorry about your loss. You are right that the successful pregs are a great sign, I had a chemical/early MC in January and I see it as an evidence plus point!
Here is my graph from this month - the first rise had been assigned as the ovulation one by Natural Cycles but it's early for me to ovulate and I had a gum infection so I felt like my temperature (and especially my mouth temperature) was up because of that. My LP is 14 days normally so I'll just have to wait and see.
Best of luck x

That would be such an early ovulation too wouldnt it! I'm the same, it shows we can get pregnant, just need them to stick! I am sorry about your loss too - does suck so much! That you have a similar temp dip post infection like me (my illness was an ear infection so also in the head like yours!) - I reckon surely we must have ovulated in our next rises?
