First month temping - what’s your thoughts?

[Flossy1982]

Hi,

38 - ttc #1

Miscarriage July 2020 & then a chemical 2021 other than that nothing. Been trying for 3 years BUT when I say ‘trying’ I mean no precautions and sometimes no baby dancing lol so not actually been that long of a journey if that makes sense - we’ve been very chilled about it.

Always spotted a few days before AF but since miscarriage spotting has been happening as early as 8dpo up until AF starts at 14/15dpo - very minimal & sometimes just brown’ish discharge. Tests concluded likely just fibroad irritation with change of hormones as got 3 outside of uterus. Also when AF arrives I have horrendous cramping on the first day so as I understand it the spotting or coloured discharge is not counted as AF and doesn’t shorten my luteal phase.

Anyway all new this month I started a fertility diet & also temping.

I’m on 11 dpo and yesterday & today I had some minor cramping with a huge temp dip. My boobs have been sore for a few days but a weird sore and the absence of my usual spotting has got me wondering is it the diet or could it mean pregnancy. I had a small bit discoloured discharge - pale pinky brown on wiping once today but later than usual & very different to what I usually have.

For those that temp - what’s your thoughts on my chart? I appreciate I probably need a few months to compare but that dip is interesting and ovulation dip corresponded with positive ovulation test.

I know only a test will reveal whether I’m pregnant so if it is an implantation dip and discharge then I suppose only likely to get a positive in a day or two.

Many Thanks 😊

I'd say it's hard to say because your timings seem a bit all over the place for temping? All the triangles and dots indicate the temps are a bit off.

Any idea why you have blank circles for 10 and 11dpo? That would help interpret it.

The other thing I would say is that implantation dips aren't really a thing in BBT charts. They're due to a secondary oestrogen surge part way through the TWW and can be seen in a lot of BFN charts too (I have them in most of mine for instance). Not to be a debbie downer but just to temper your hope in case AF still arrives.

My hopes have long been crushed 😩 I just wanted to understand it more. I’ve been taking it as soon as I wake up in the same conditions but times are not always exactly the same.
The circles are due to recording disturbed sleep as not slept well the last few nights and needed to get up for a wee. What would the dip indicate?

Just a surge of oestrogen?
