BBT Chart! Implantation dip / period?

[Elizabeth5585]

Hi
I’ve been ttc for a year and thought I’d try BBT this cycle.
I’ve tried my best to keep to the same times but at the beginning I was all over the place not knowing what to do.

Does this look like a dip dpo 8 or does this mean my period is coming?
I’m due today or tomo

Thanks

Opps

It looks like af is coming x

I'd give it another day. If temps go back up, could be implantation. If it stays low, AF may be coming. You should also try to see what you can do about your short luteal phase. I also have a short LP and have been taking vitamins for it.

@unCliche there's 2 lower temperatures...

If it was just a low temp for 1 day, I would say the same as you but it looks like it's going down.

Implantation dip is only 1 day, usually @Elizabeth5585

Thanks girls.
I was living in hope that it was implantation but it really doesn’t look good.
Onto the next cycle 😩

I would say you're not out until AF turns up. Do you usually have a short LP of around 8/9 days?

@MamaMoonbeam yeah you're right. But I still think without seeing more temps, it could be hard to tell. Some peoples temps drop like normal before the progesterone picks up again. I guess if AF turns up she'll have her answer 😞

@uncliche that's true

@Elizabeth5585 - have you been taking your temp within the same 30 mins every day?

I'd also add that the 6-9dpo dip you see in bbt charts are due to a secondary oestrogen surge and doesn't need to have anything to do with implantation. Just in case you get one next cycle and get super excited too soon - I know that's happened to me in my early days of charting 😬.

I agree with the others that it looks like AF is coming, although is it normal for you to have such a short LP?

Thanks girls.
I have never ovulated on day 20 before it’s usually 14 /15 never later so this whole cycle has been a mystery to me?
Unless the chart is wrong? I messed up on the first few days but then tried to take it at the same time every day since.
I don’t know what to trust the cb opks or the temping

@Elizabeth5585 your chart looks good with a clear temp rise. CB static smiley only tells you that you got an LH peak but that precedes ovulation so you ovulate up to 2-3 days after a peak - which ties in with your chart. I sometimes ovulate the same day as my peak, sometimes the next day or two days later - there never seems to be a pattern to it.

If you keep tracking and find your LP is only 8-9 days short then that might be getting in the way of you conceiving and would be worth trying to lengthen it.

@Elizabeth5585 since this is your first time charting, it might potentially be wrong. If you add your OPK results to FF it might also give you another ovulation date. What day did you get your peak OPK?

Well I did think it was really odd to ovulate so late when I’m usually day 14/15 .
I got my peak on day 17 tho so maybe the FF app just went off that?
I had a pelvic scan on 26th and the doctor said it looks like o had just ovulated as he could see the follicles or something?
I have no idea why this is taking so long every month is so depressing x

Sorry that it's taking a while, it must be even harder when everything is fine with you but it's just not happening! I really hope AF stays away for you this cycle 🤞
If you LP is usually a bit longer and there's no reason for it to suddenly change, then maybe AF is still a few days away? Or not coming at all 😊

Thanks hunni! I’ll soon know either way x

I wonder why it gone up a little. I wish it would drop loads so I know for sure I’m out, I hate this waiting.

Oh this is an exciting update! Let's hope it stays up for you 😁

Thanks 🙏 time is standing still 🙈

Can I please ask what Vitamins you take. You Mentioned you having a short LP and was just wondering what I could do if maybe this is the reason for me too? X @unCliche

I take

• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D
• B-100 Complex
• Magnesium with zinc

All from Holland and Barrett. The B6 within the B100 Complex is the one that mostly helps with the short LP. Vit C has also had some good success for others. Hopefully you'll get your BFP this month and won't need them 😄

Thanks a lot hun.
Would i take these along with the pregnacare conception tablets? I always thought that had everything in but maybe I’m not getting enough vitamins

I stopped taking Pregnacare. My cycles started getting weird so I just take the vitamins by themselves. The B-100 Complex also contains folic acid. The amount of each vitamin in pregnacare is lot smaller than the individual vitamins that I've linked to. You should read up on the vitamins to see what works best for you and the amounts to take.

Great that’s good to know. I’ll research them and see what’s best. I think after a year ttc I’m best mixing things up and seeing what happens x

@unCliche AF came today 😩
I’m gonna pick up some vitamins today

Oh no Elizabeth! I'm so sorry to hear that. Which vitamins did you decide on getting?
