Hi!!
im currently 11 months pp with my second and haven’t got my cycle back yet. Natural Cycles seems to think I ovulated a few days ago but my temps have dropped below coverline

Would love to know what others think? I feel like I musnt have ovulated and either my body has tried to ovulate and didn’t quite get there? Or could it just be that my temps were higher for those two days?

I’ve attached my chart (also I use the Oura ring with NC so I know the temps are taken consistently at the right time!) ❤️❤️

As the temp rise wasn't sustained, I'd say it's unlikely you ovulated, sorry :( but you'll know for sure in 2 weeks if you have a period then I could well be wrong.

Did you use the oura ring with NC when you were tracking your cycles pre pregnancy? If not I’d be a bit sceptical of the temps - if you had good readings before you could try taking it orally for a while too?

Hello everyone!

I’ve had an unusual dip this cycle and now my temps have gone back up.
FF is wrong about my ovulation, it happened one day before so today I’m on 7DPO.

Any ideas about my chart, does it look good?
I’ve had insane nausea yesterday.
I’m trying for my first so I don’t know what I should feel, I really don’t understand how you just “know” you’re pregnant…

So normally when your charting temps you need 3 consecutive higher temperatures than the rest to confirm ovulation.
So I would say that neither chart really indicates ovulation. It is often easier to see when you have a chart of your full cycle.
I do like Fertility Friend to chart my cycles. And I also have an AVA Bracelet. I don't know much about the Oura ring or charting with natural cycles
@alexalexalex18 Did you override the ovulation or is this the one indicated by FF? Also do you manually take your temperature? Maybe you moved or did smthg different on the day you had that one temperature drop.

Got to say the month I got pregnant with my first son, Ava and FF did not agree on my ovulation date. I have attached the chart from when I got pregnant last yime

@FigandHoney

No I just left it like that and count my DPO+1.
So I see you had a temp drop on day 4 and day 8.
I can’t really do anything but wait, tbh.
I can’t really make out the words on the FF screenshot, it’s really pixelated. What symptoms did you have between 5dpo and bfp?
Did you test ling before expected period day?

@alexalexalex18 So there are a couple of slight drops in temperature. But the difference is that even the drops are higher than the temperatures before my ovulation.
Hence you need at keast 3 temperatures in a row higher than the previous one.
FF said I ovulated on day 15 and Ava said day 17. FF isn't entirely sure which us why the line is dotted. So I think Ava was actually correct.
I personally feel that tracking symptoms us a dangerous game, that I got sucked into when we TTCed previously. You can really get your hopes up based on symptoms. But the reality is that progesterone is high up until your period. And it is progesterone that gives you a lot of the pregnancy symptoms. They are just maintained after you miss a period, because your progesterone doesn't drop. Plus everybody's "symptoms" are different.
That being said the things that stood out to me before my missed period, was constipation.
There was also one instance of crazy sensitive smell. I was indoors with shut windows at work and could smell the fields being fertilised miles away.
I also had insomnia. Woke up every night at 4am on the dot.
And the day I was supposed to have my period I started having a migraine that lasted 4 days.

FigandHoney · 11/09/2023 13:23

About the migraine. I have hormonal migraines. So that's nothing new. But this one was more intense and lasted longer than the previous ones.

It was until after my missed period and before that I got implantation cramps

alexalexalex18 · 11/09/2023 13:59

I’ve started having intense smell
sensitivity yesterday, every smell felt repugnant and was sooo nauseous.
I have it today as well but less nauseous, as in I don’t feel like I’ll throw up but I’m nauseous even after drinking water.

My boobs don’t feel very full and heavy anymore though, they did right when I ovulated and a day after. But I heard breast pain and fullness comes and goes even after a bfp.

I absolutely dread this waiting game 🥹
My temp is high, hope it stays like that for 11 more days. I have a 32/33 days cycle 🥹

alexalexalex18 · 12/09/2023 09:40

8DPO, temp is still up.
I know I ovulated from my right ovary and I can feel it hurting, like a dull ache.
Is this because of the corpus luteum?
Is it a good sign?

Dunno if it’s just my side but the attached photos are very pixelated. My temp today was 36,87. Yesterday it was 36,82.
