Big drop in BBT at 12 DPO

17 replies

Hi everyone, it's that time of the month where I go stark raving mad.

BFN at 9DPO and again yesterday at 11DPO.

This morning my BBT dropped by 1°F - ie went back to pre-ovulation level. I thought that's it, not pregnant then. My resting heart rate is also down to "just after period" level (it goes up with ovulation too).

I however made the mistake of googling it - could it be an implantation drop? Answer tomorrow I guess but in the meantime, has anyone had that big a BBT drop at implantation? Dr. Google seems to think it's more like 0.3° than a full 1° down when it's linked to implantation.

OTOH implantation at 12DPO doesn't strike me as that far-fetched, nor would the previous two BFN as still very early....? I've also been having period-like cramps since 8DPO that really reminded me of early pregnancy with my first (and currently only) child.

Hive mind, please help!

@Hoping4second how sure are you on your dates? Sounds a bit late for implantation but certainly not impossible. When is AF due? Mine always drops the day before AF but that is just me and doesn't mean it is coming!

Hoping4second · 03/11/2020 15:24

I could be 11DPO rather than 12DPO as not 100% sure of the ovulation date. AF is due on the 5th or possibly the 6th, so in 2 or 3 days.

It's nerve-wracking isn't it?

I guess I'll have my answer tomorrow - temp still down, not pregnant, back up, then there's still hope... Long time to wait though!

@Hoping4second you're certainly not out!! It's a killer isnt it. I'm 8DPO. It is so odd praying each morning for a high temp 😂😂

I would definitely tests again in a couple of days 🤞

Hoping4second · 03/11/2020 16:02

Oh best of luck to you too! fingers crossed!

@Hoping4second best of luck, keep us updated.

I'm currently 10dpo bfn yesterday, temps still high but heart rate dropped yesterday and today only by 1 beat, clutching straws here!

AMS19 · 03/11/2020 19:04

@babybumpfor2020 not out yet at 11DPO 🤞🤞🤞 keep testing!

babybumpfor2020 · 03/11/2020 21:23

Caved tested and bfn 😔

AMS19 · 03/11/2020 21:31

But @babybumpfor2020 I'm assuming that is not with FMU?! Test again tomorrow morning x

babybumpfor2020 · 04/11/2020 06:41

Did a fmu today, bfn!

Not sure why I do this every month

AMS19 · 04/11/2020 06:47

Sorry @babybumpfor2020!! How long have you been trying? It takes time, it is so frustrating but it is normal for it not to happen straight away. It will happen ❤

babybumpfor2020 · 04/11/2020 06:58

Thanks @AMS19, coming up to 2.5years, this was my first month of clomid too. It's emotional rollercoaster for sure.

What's your story?

AMS19 · 04/11/2020 07:04

Oh wow @babybumpfor2020 that is a long road. Have you had some tests done? You poor thing!! ❤❤❤ but so many positive stories on here for people trying for a very long time and falling so have faith ❤

I'm very on in my journey. Only second cycle off the pill. Was on the pill for 7 years so expecting it will take a few cycles for things to settle! At the moment doing lots of tracking (BBT/OPK) to try and see what my body is getting up to...😂

babybumpfor2020 · 04/11/2020 07:12

@AMS19 yeah lots of tests and scans, hubby has very good sperm 😄, but I have have PCOS, I should have started treatment in March April but covid had other plans!

Everyone around me gets pregnant so easy, just make you feel shit that I have failed!

I hope your journey is a short one ❤️

AMS19 · 04/11/2020 07:17

@babybumpfor2020 I have every crossed for you. I've know many women if your situation who have gone on to have lots of babies so don't lose faith. Covid has been a right stitch up for most and there are so many hidden victims. I have everything crossed for you ❤

Hoping4second · 04/11/2020 09:20

Temperature still down and resting heart rate went down as well, I'm definitely not pregnant :'(

Good luck @babybumpfor2020 and @AMS19, the two of you are still in the running so keeping my fingers crossed for both of you!
