What is my temp doing? BBT help please.

[Littlebee1990]

Ahh BBT is stressing me out! Not had a peak on an OPK but my temp is dipping already. Had a chemical pregnancy last month and now convinced I’m not going to ovulate this month and there’s something wrong. Anyone have any insight or advice!? Thank you xxx

OPKS attached

It can be normal to have the occasional cu or where you don’t ovulate (though v annoying when TTC!) What day do you usually ovulate?

@Rhubarbe I’m CD16 and ovulation for me is usually CD15-17.. never knew could have cycles without ovulating! 😫 thanks for the reply x

Hello - might be worth plotting your temps in FF as that would tell you when you ovulated based on your temps? Looking at your chart though I just think you haven't ovulated just yet - you might just be a bit later this month?

Have you been good at taking your temp at the same time every day? That would have a big impact on your readings and affecting your chart.

@Juno231 Thank you I’ll try that. I take it 6.30-7AM every morning so pretty regular x

Even more confused now!! Never got a peak on my OPKS and app now says I ovulated 3 days ago! 😫

Hm maybe although your post OD temps still look a bit low. Definitely check in FF as their graphs are a lot more user friendly /interpretable than femometer.

@Juno231 Just inputted in to there and it also thinks I ovulated around the 13th, so confused! X

Are you only testing with opks once a day? I think you did ovulate - fertility friend is the better app for bbt. You possibly have a short surge like me. I have to test 3 times a day to catch my positive. What time do you test, with the cheap ones between 2-10pm is best.

@VenusStarr I used cheapies but only twice a day so yeah perhaps I did miss it, used CB Digital too but only from CD14 because my cycles are usually long but I had a chemical pregnancy last month so perhaps things are out of sync. Huge dip today also.

I'm sorry to hear about your chemical - I had one in February (my third loss) and strangely since that one my cycles have been out of sync, I ovulated on cd9 one month then cd15 another, but after my other miscarriages they went back to normal straight away.

It could be your body is just trying to adjust @Littlebee1990 ❤️

I think I'd trust FF in this! The chart very much looks like CD13 was correct. The dip today could be another estrogen surge, they're not uncommon between 5-9dpo. Carry on monitoring your temp though as I also wouldn't be surprised if you get a clearer indication of ovulation later on in your cycle! Unfortunately your CP could have rocked the boat cycle wise for you this month :/

Thank you all so much! How strange, it’s likely as I wasn’t testing early enough to catch that. Thankfully we DTD the day before, the day of and the day after so 🤞🏼 Thank you all so much xx
