BBT Charting - are my post ovulation temps high enough?

[alexalexalex18]

I’m either 5dpo or 4dpo, and my temperature has increased daily.
But I can’t help but think if conception would be happening the temp should be minimum 37.00.

Has anyone had similar values and got a BFP?
I’m trying not to go the symptoms spotting path this cycle and just check temperature, as I’ve had all the symptoms in the world during other cycles and nothing.

This cycle I ovulated for sure as I felt the pain and had CM.

Any ideas are reaaaally appreciated 🥹

Your temp rise is fine. If pregnant temps aren’t much higher and would only rise after a positive.

@emmatcc1

Thank you!

You're just looking for a temp shift of 0.2 between before and after, you've clearly got that, chart looks fine

I think everyone's temps are different in general... mine is usually 36.4 before and 36.6 after, but it's just whatever your normal is

Thanks @suz2285 !

Does it matter if in the following day the temperature fluctuates lower than today, but it’s still above my cover line?

I’m not referring to the implantation dip, I know that might happen for some women between days 7-10.

@alexalexalex18 no as long as it stays above the cover line it's fine! Some people I've seen drop below cover line and then come back up! But mostly once it's below the cover line it's AF time!

I don’t understand why they’ve changed my ovulation day from day 15 Sunday to day 18 Wednesday.
I thought only after ovulation the temperature starts rising, which for me started happening on day 15 or 16 😕

I don’t even think I saw discharge on tissue on day 18 when the app changed to O day to, it was like clear stratechy smooth snot all the days before.

Instead of being day 5 or 6 DPO now it says I’m 3 DPO.
The only changes I’ve noticed are fuller boobs which normally happens for me in the luteal phase and a heightened sense of smell.

Has anyone here been pregnant before?
I’m feeling lost, there’s never a reliable way to track this unless you have a scan each day.

The original photo of your chart looked really good - funny enough, the day I got my BFP (before I’d logged it into FF), it tried to change my ovulation date from cd14 to cd21! Just because of another temp shift! I’d stick with the original ovulation date and hopefully the chart works itself out. It certainly will if you end up logging a BFP. Also my temps even in pregnancy didn’t rise above 36.7 (until I stopped testing - could be higher now but wouldnt know) X

I think you can go into the day you ovulated and mark that as ovulation date, might change it back

Tbh the app just works on algorithms and will get it wrong sometimes, I've had terrible cycles for various reasons and it's now telling me my period should've started yesterday when it's not due for another week

Just use it as a guide, you're more likely to know than and app, and I think your original chart looked fine, but You've also logged EWCM on day 17 so I think the app is seeing that as still fertile and you have had higher temp rises after that too so it could well have been day 18

Do you use OPKS? As that would be another way to know roughly, though those also fluctuate sometimes 😂

@suz2285

I travelled the weekend window just before day 15 so didn’t use ov strips but have trsted since Monday and the line kept getting lighter and lighter. So there surely wasn’t a peak on Wednesday and I remember how much my right ovary hurt on Monday, when I actually think I ovulated or maybe the pain was from the corpus luteum. I felt it as I was on the treadmill at the gym.

I use Natacycles, Premom and Flo and they all said different ovulation days 😂

I’m very dry now, I read on some forums that the trend is to have lots of discharge in the 2ww, if pregnant.

There’s not really much to do other than wait now. I had a glass of wine last night 😕

Thanks @sashastuck , I was really bummed thinking you have to have over 37.00 temps in the 2ww.

It does get that high for me, only just in the second week.
I’ll keep logging temps and try not to symptom spot. Last cycle I felt everything under the sun.

Hello, do you mind if I join this thread? I've just started BBT tracking and my ovulation date has changed and then changed back again according to the chart, a bit relieved to see that it's not just me- was starting to think something was wrong 😂

@alexalexalex18 waiting is the worst! Wouldn't worry about the wine... good luck!

@alexalexalex18 regarding the discharge, mine only really increased from about 13dpo. It’s quite noticeable now at 4+4 weeks. I wouldn’t expect to see loads in the 2ww! Good luck! X

It’s still going up so I guess it’s good as long as it’s not dropping under cover line.

@NicSC93 Hopefully we’re both lucky this month 🍀
@suz2285 Thank you 🥰
I’m on my first cycle of Letrozole, just to make sure I ovulate. I had stage 4 endometriosis and got surgery for it last year in March, it was mostly on my intestines so not gyno related but it did created adhesions and one of my ovaries was a bit stuck. They checked my tubes and everything was fine, hopefully it just takes a while before a bfp and there’s no issues.

@sashastuck that’s a relief 🥹 Still no discharge.

If the first chart was correct I would be today in 7 or 8 dpo.

No implantation pain, no cramps, no spotting, no tender breasts, no nausea 😕
Just bloating and heartburn.

No symptoms 🥹

I think the next few days of charting your temperature might give you a clue. The only symptom I had at 7dpo was spots on my face - tender boobs kicked in 10dpo. Don’t panic yet! X

My skin has been breaking out a bit on random spots but I didn’t really think about it.
Never thought pimples would bring me joy 😂

@sashastuck How should my temp look in tje next few days?

What do you girls think about this? 😕
It dropped today.

@alexalexalex18 the drop your seeing is perfectly normal. You might hear people refer to it as an implantation dip , but its actually nothing to do with implantation. It just happens to occur around the time when implantation may happen, hence the name. The dip is caused by a drop in estrogen due to the egg being released, thats all. After that, the corpus luteum takes over to produce progesterone which makes your temp go back up. The day can vary , it might not always happen at 5dpo exactly . For me it varies each month between 5 -7dpo

@alexalexalex18 one thing I have noticed tho is that the chart seems to Indictate that your taking your temp at different times

@MK85

So basically charting for me is a nightmare because I wake up and pee 3-5 times per night.
So I really try and have my last trip to the bathroom around 5 am and take my temp 2h after at 7, when my alarm wakes me up.
I temp at 7 but note it in the app later in the day, so that’s why the times differ.

So this dip in temperature is due to estrogen and it actually certifies I’ve ovulated?
I browsed on fertility friend through charts like mine and they look promising.
I’m just scared I have none of the symptoms ladies talk about on mumsnet threads.

Should I feel pain, cramps, anything in the next days if I’m entering my implantation window 7-10?
Am I still in if I don’t feel anything?
I’m very emotional and have heartburn but both can happen any day of the cycle for me.

I’m even scared to go to the gym and do my usual running on the treadmill in case it messes up implantation.

What about you, what’s your experience, are you trying or already conceived? 🥹

I wouldn’t look too much into the dip. The”implantation dip” only happens with one lower temp and then rises again. This is mine from last cycle. It indicated a triphasic chart but I got a negative.

@emmatcc1

I get 3 distinct temp rises each cycle 🥹

The only things that you should be looking for are the temp shift that confirms ovulation and the big drop that indicates af is coming.

@emmatcc1 Hoping we both don’t see the big drop 🍀

When is your AF due? (hopefully it comes next year)
Mine in 9 days
