BBT Help

[Galw9]

Hi,

For background I had my last depo in April last year. Cycles came back around October, and have been 27-31 days with peak OPKs around 14-16 days. This month decided to not do OPKs as I’ve been busy and wanted less stress. Just my luck that now I’m on cycle day 34 and no AF. Negative tests.

Still tracked BBT and I’ve been above baseline for 10 days now, and according to the chart I ovulated really late this cycle. Has anyone had anything similar happen or an expert who can shed more light for me? I’m still learning and trying not to get my hopes up or get bogged down about it all (easier said than done)

TIA :)

I also should have said I’ve been getting really bad lower back pain, cramping/twinges in my lower stomach but not as bad as period cramps. Also tender breasts but I get those every month!

Bump - still high temp day 35 negative tests still!

It looks like you ovulated on CD 24 as your temp rise was on CD 25. 11 day luteal phase isn't abnormal and also not abnormal that testing negative at this point, could still get a positive in the next few days! How long is your luteal phase normally (number of days of raised temps before period starts)?

Thanks. It’s so annoying the one month I didn’t track OPKs so using BBT alone is confusing me!

my luteal phase is usually 9-10 days, temp usually drops after around 5-6 days so this is the longest it’s stayed high.

Ooh that sounds positive for possible early pregnancy! Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon 🤞

Thank you for your help! BBT dipped yesterday a little bit and today by quite a lot, and I think AF has just arrived. No luck for me this month but I think I’m starting to understand BBT a lot more for the next try!
