A big BBT dip and LH keeps increasing - Am I close to ovulate?

This is my first time to use 3 apps to track my BBT so seeing this dip so obvious is really surprising. I have seen people talking about it however have never seen it myself. That is because my oral BBT fluctuates a lot and I couldn't tell in the past cycles.
Is it normal? Have you had BBT dips before ovulation?

It usually dips before ovulation, if there’s now 3 consecutive days of rises then you would’ve ovulated.

That is useful to know. Thank you!!😀I will keep observing for the next 3 days.

This was my BFP chart, I ovulated early on CD11 luckily started to use sensor CD8 so managed to catch it!

That is precise!😀 I can see that this is the chart of cycle 2 for you.
This is my first cycle to use OvuSense and I don't think it will pinpoint the O day. I believe the earliest it can tell me is 3 days after ovulation.

It was actually my first cycle using the sensor! I purchased it just as my period was coming to an end, I just inputted my last cycle start date for reference as I have PCOS and it was a long 50 day cycle where I don’t think I even ovulated. Expected to be in for the long haul but manage to conceive officially in cycle 2!
Yes in the first cycle it won’t know, but it will tell you that you are now in your fertile window and then confirm ovulation day. After a couple of cycles it should be able to estimate but hopefully you don’t need to use it again either !

Thank you for the info! 😃That is really helpful!
I have created a cycle before this current one. I inputted the length of my bleeding after a CP (I ticked the box of MC on CD1) and the ovulation day.

Then I moved to this cycle and inputted the length of my first proper period.
It still doesn't tell me if I am in fertile window. I guess it is too early for it to tell.

Completely normal! Mine dipped right down to 35.5 on O day. My usual follicular phase temp is 36.2. I got my BFP this cycle and had a feeling because my temps were about 36.7 after 6dpo but didn’t want to get my hopes up at first. Usually it’s around 36.5/6.
Good luck!

Henski · 23/06/2024 21:04

@LucyCL if your temp increases it may say it tomorrow morning or might wait for 2 consecutive rises, good luck !

Hope someone can help me.. my temp is all over the place at the moment , it dropped to 36.4 CD 17 and now it’s rising again .
