BBT help!! Please!! Is this pattern a problem?

[calamitykay]

Hi ladies,
Oh my god feeling so so deflated now.

It's only my second month charting but I'm feeling beside myself that something is wrong.

All seemed to be going well until a few days ago when my temps started to drop and they haven't risen. I know this means I'm out this month but I'm concerned they've started dropping too early in my LP.

I'm getting so upset, especially after last month when my chart looked like it was having some kind of mental breakdown.

Please can anyone tell me if I should be concerned with my pattern?

I don’t think you can tell from just looking at one month but yes 7/8 dpo is early for temps to start dropping. Progesterone should stay high for 12-14 days. I think you need to keep charting and see if this is a regular pattern then speak to your GP if it is. It could just be an odd cycle, our bodies do strange things to us when TTC.

To be honest I would not be worried (I'd actually be elated with that chart compared to mine!). You have a clear pre/post O difference and temps vary based on a lot of factors. Keep tracking and see how subsequent months are x

I think you possibly ovulated cd12. With a fallback rise.

Thank you so much ladies.

Honestly I don't think I can describe how upset I was when I posted this. You've helped to put my mind at rest, especially with saying I might have O on CD12. My average suggested this - hence why I got so upset when I saw the end of this cycle x

Hey. Try not to worry - there's a lot of room for error in bbt charting. If you want to check you did ovulate okay then you could do a PdG test.
