Bbt drop at 4/5 dpo!

32 replies

Beth1414 · 16/10/2023 20:09

Hi, I currently have been TTC for 6 months, I only used to use ovulation tests but I started with tracking my bbt along with opks 3 month ago. This month I noticed a dip in bbt at 4 and 5 dpo, I’m currently 5DPO today. Im fairly new to the bbt charting so any help would be appreciated. Am I out this cycle? Or is this normal?

has anyone else had a bbt dip at 4/5 dpo?

i have attached mine from fertility friend

I’ve read that you can have dips 5-7DPO either due to a dip in progesterone or implantation dip. haven’t personally experienced it though.
im currently 4dpo

@Beth1414 have you been taking your temp at the same time each morning? Yours fluctuate a lot which I think makes it difficult to have the lines.

I try to but I work shifts so they can vary, however they are normally all within 40 minutes of each other

I started BBT last cycle and had a dip at 9 DPO that is normal for pregnancy and Non pregnancy charts.
Implantation dip varies for each person. It can happen as early as 5 DPO and as late as 12 DPO. A dip can mean something or nothing.
Here is my charts to show you.
P.s not pregnant.

@Beth1414 how was your BBT this morning?
I’m 5dpo & this is mine so far. First one I have ever done so I think I’m just looking for a dip at possible implantation 🤞🏼

Hiya, thank you for sharing your chart with me. That clears things up for me thank you, So people can get dips at any point and this may or may not mean pregnancy

@Beth1414 well I thought I did…but today not really anything. All the symptoms I thought I was feeling are gone so no idea! Lol. Cervix is still high & I’ve read it lowers 7-10 days before AF so if it’s still high after the weekend then maybe 🤔

Oh really. Mines high too! I never knew that so that’s good. I don’t a opk test just now and it’s darker than the previous ones, I’m hoping it’s because it’s picking a hormone up rather than a spike before af.. when do you plan to test?

@Beth1414 I stopped testing after I ovulated…I didn’t know there was any relevance to keep testing?
Well my cycle last month was 32 days which means AF is due on the 26th but Fertility friend is saying I’m due on 27th…so maybe I will test on the 28th if AF is a no show. I’m not into testing early, personally I feel like if it doesn’t stick then I don’t need to know but that’s just me & I completely understand why people would want to test early & know either way. Although I might get more impatient the more cycles I go through. What about you?

yeah Apparently opks can pick up pregnancy, I’ve seen lots of videos of women taking opks and pregnancy tests and both are positive. Yeah that’s probably the best way, I just have no will power so I’m going to try wait until 9/10dpo, but knowing me il end up caving tomorrow or 8dpo haha

@Beth1414 ahh ok that’s interesting! Noooo don’t cave! Be strong & wait 😊

JulyT · 18/10/2023 09:42

@Beth1414 how you doing today? I have started getting pulling pains down the backs of my legs which I get before AF 🙄 but not due for another week so it’s a bit early really

@JulyT Yeah maybe a good sign if it’s early for you, my bbt went down again today a little but still having some small cramping, I’m thinking it’s probably over this month already
