Having searched and searched for answers and got nowhere I am hoping some other OPK/BBT fanatics might want to share some theories on my very strange month…. I’ll try keep it short…chart is attached.
- Letrozole 2.5mg taken cd3-7
- EWCM from day 8
- Scan day 10 showed giant 27mm follicle
- Peak OPK day 11
- Temperature rise to above baseline indicated ovulation day 12 (this is earlier than ever before for me)
- Cyclogest 800mg per day started from 3dpo due to a short luteal phase of 7-9 days.
- Scan at 5dpo showed no more follicle and progesterone bloods were 54.2 so the fertility clinic say I did ovulate
So…. Why did my temperature drop back to baseline by 6dpo? This would have been the norm pre-cyclogest but surely with 800mg of progesterone temps should stay higher? I wonder if I am not absorbing it but the consultant didn’t seem worried about this since my blood test was 54.2 (I do wonder if it should be higher given the high dose of cyclogest I take).
I have taken cyclogest previously and temp stayed up until I stopped taking it. I am using an Apple watch for BBT which has been accurate for the past 12 months so I don’t think it is errors in the readings.
Any theories are very welcome! I am driving myself crazy trying to work out what is going on.
Thank you
