BBT chart help please

[Littlebee1990]

I had a CP at 5+3 last month and now my cycle is all out of sync. I have only been temping 2 months and I’m honestly clueless at what the below is telling me.. I’ve been using OPKs twice a day and had high readings since CD11 and 2 peak readings a few days apart. Has anyone ever experienced similar? FF has no idea when ovulation occurred and Femometer has changed about 3 times and after putting my temp in this morning has changed my ovulation from CD14 to CD25.

I have no idea when to expect AF because one app says 27th July, another says 6th August and another says 9th August.

Any advice or thoughts would be hugely appreciated. Thank you x

Looking at both charts it looks like you probably haven't ovulated yet. Are you using OPKs too, have you had any other fertile signs like EWCM/high cervix? So sorry to hear about your chemical x

Hey @MintGreenLife yeah I said in my post I’ve had high readings on OPKs and 2 peak readings which is why I’m so confused! Thank you for the reply and well wishes x

I'm definitely no expert but have been charting a few weeks with the same apps as you. I don't think you've ovulated yet going off the temps x

@raspberryjamlove I got 2 peak readings on my ovulation tests though! Makes no sense

@Littlebee1990 OPKs can only show an indication of ovulation, it doesn't mean you actually ovulated. Only temping can confirm that

@Stabal Of course, just so confused as never got to CD26 and not ovulated before we usually 28-30 day cycles x

@Littlebee1990 sometimes are cycles go a bit off whack with stress or sickness. It's not surprising yours could be thrown off with the CP, hormones are messy. Be patient and kind to yourself 💕

*our 🤦‍♀️

@Stabal Thank you so much, I have no patience. Cycle 5 and I’m struggling but I’ll take your advice x

@Littlebee1990 Sorry to hear you had a CP - as other have said its probably, annoyingly thrown everything out of sync. I have a similar chart to you this cycle on Femometer - peak OPKs on CD15 and 16 (very early for me, but took soy isoflavones after AF to try and bring it forward), but no temp shift since. I normally have a slow rise, but today it actually went down slightly, so wondering if this will be an anovulatory cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️ Your FF chart looks more promising (I've just started using FF as think it shows temps better than Femometer) - if your temp increases tomorrow you may well have O'd a day or so ago. Either way, hope your cycles gets back to normal again soon x

I'd say CD25 is a possibility but only if your next reading is high as well. Otherwise there's nothing else on that chart to indicate ovulation has happened.

Probably best to carry on with the OPKs if the temps are inconclusive in case you have another surge later or.

Thank you everyone, think I was clinging on to the “you’re more fertile after a loss” comments and really hoping we’d get lucky. No idea when to even expect AF now. Guess I’ll just carry on and hope everything resets ASAP 😞

@Littlebee1990 I was TTC for 2 years before I fell pregnant early March but I miscarried in May so I understand your frustration and desperation to fall again. My first cycle after the miscarriage was normal but this cycle has been messy and I've no idea what's happening x

@Stabal I’m so sorry ❤️

Hey @Littlebee1990 I'm sorry I have no helpful advice but I'm in similar situation this month. I had peak reading CD 13 and am now cd17 and have had no temp rise. In fact gone down slightly. So I guess I had an LH surge but unsuccessful ov. I've read that the body can try again to OV in the same cycle so might get another lh surge again. Just gonna keep opk testing and dtd but it might be a month with no ovulation which is apparently quite common. Seriously frustrating though.

@Juno231 Think you could be right, it’s now picking up ovulation!

@ARIO So strange isn’t it. Sometimes I wonder if I’m best to just not track anything and go with the flow

@Littlebee1990 exact same thing has now happened to me - it wasn't picking up O but now is saying I ovulated last Thursday because of a temp jump today. I like the fact charting can identify you have definitely ovulated, but I do think it makes me stress more 👎🏻

@Tink2019 So annoying isn’t it! We DTD 3 days before, day of and day after because I thought I’d already ovulated!!! Really hope you managed to catch it x

@Littlebee1990 we DTD day of, day before and a couple of days before that - but we've done something similar each month (my cycles are very irregular so we DTD every other day pretty much) and that hasn't worked so far. Hope you get your sticky BFP soon x

Hi All, sorry I’m back again with a BBT Question! @Juno231 would love your thoughts as you seem the resident board expert!

Here is my chart.. yesterday I was camping and woke up freezing so marked my temp as abnormal, do you think the huge drop could be because of the sleeping conditions? Temp was back high today once I’d slept at home!

Thank you so much

@Littlebee1990 haha how sad my life has become! Happy that my guess of CD25 seemed to be spot on though. As for 4DPO - the triangle shows that you took that temp earlier than usual and therefore the temp reading will be lower.

Maybe try the temp adjuster first to rule the time fluctuation out first?

@Juno231 I didn’t even know that was a thing!! Love that website, saving that! Yes I took the temp about 90 minutes before but I was wide awake at 5.45AM because I was cold 😂

Updated using that link and new chart attached!

@Littlebee1990 @Juno231 has saved me with with my chart issues too and also guessed I had just ovulated 😂

Haha are you sure you update the temp as well as it's the same as before? Use that website sparingly btw, it's not 100% accurate but I like it for days when I know my temp is completely out of line or affecting my crosshair. Definitely to be taken with a pinch of salt and to be assessed for reasonableness

Hey all, this is myy first month charting bbt. Has anyone ever experienced a temp spike BEFORE positive OPK? I've been doing 3 tests a day the last couple of days (2 cheapies and 1 cb digi) I had 3 days of flashing smileys and finally got my peak today. But my temp rose 2 days ago? So not sure if I've already ovd or still have it to come?! Has anyone else experienced this. I guess I just need to wait and see if it spikes up again 🤔
