Low estrogen or something else?

I have been ttc my second baby for a few months now, I chart but it’s not always a typical chart as I have pcos. Last month it was text book perfect and I actually ovulated, although didn’t conceive. This month I’m 8dpo and noticed I have a zig zag pattern going on, not rising or dropping just staying on the same temps (37.10, 37.01, 37.10, 37.03) you get the picture. Google says low estrogen, can anyone confirm if this is true for a zig zag pattern and also if anyone conceived in this situation? No big temp dip like I had last month either, just 5 days of zig zag. Thanks

I think it's normal to have minor fluctuations day to day as you describe, BBT charts don't usually look linear - the main thing is that your temp is staying elevated from what it was before ovulation, is that the case?

Thank you, yes it hasn’t dropped below the cover line, but I haven’t had the ‘estrogen surge/implantation dip’ my cycles have either. I know low estrogen is associated with miscarriages so I’m worried I have an issue with this hormone if that’s what causes zig zagging.

I don't think everyone gets an ovulation/implantation dip - are you able to share your chart on here?

Sorry for the late reply
here is my chart so far
i can’t work out what is going on
i have a lot of symptoms that would make me think I’ll have a bfp coming but with the lower bbt recently I think it’s unlikely a bfp and more likely hormones causing them
