TTC - BBT chart help

[cmg91]

Can anyone help me with my chart..

Awaiting ovulation this cycle but do these temps look normal? Natural cycles didn’t confirm ovulation last cycle even though I had blazing positives on CD 21. Luteal phase also very short but we lost our twins 5 months ago.

Could it be PCOS?

More likely your body just adjusting after your recent loss (so sorry ) and it does sometimes throw random cycles at you. I’d agree it doesn’t look like you’ve ovulated yet this cycle either. However, my DD2 was conceived on a cycle where I ovulated on CD24! And the cycle before I conceived my 3 month old I ovulated around CD8 🤯.

How long were you trying for before your twins? When TTC my first I had some ridiculously long cycles (longest was 146 days) and I was then diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine got my cycles behaving sensibly again.

I'm not familiar with that app (I use fertility friend which is much clearer) but is it saying you are CD19? If so, I don't think this cycle tells you anything yet. If you ovulate after CD22 or so, or if you don't ovulate at all, AND this pattern is repeated over multiple cycles then yes this may point towards PCOS. But anyone at all can have one or two dodgy cycles.

LH strips never confirm ovulation. They confirm an LH rise, which if you are mid-cycle usually means an attempt at ovulation. It doesn't mean success. So if your BBT didn't rise (and assuming you are experienced at BBT and doing it properly) then you didn't ovulate. Again, one anovulatory cycle does not point to any issues on it's own.

Five months after a loss may or may not affect your hormones still. It varies a lot person to person, and according to how far along you were when the loss happened. For me, losses at the end of the first trimester affected my BBT chart for 3 cycles afterwards - I don't think I could have got pregnant those cycles. But a six week loss had no affect on my fertility at all (pregnant next cycle). That's just me! You are probably different.

Thanks for your messages.

I had an early loss at 6 weeks in March 2025 and then my periods stopped entirely and we conceived our twin boys unexpectedly in the August. They were born prematurely at 22 weeks.

I have since been having regular periods, ranging from 28-34 days but the luteal phase has been 7/8 days long.

I am taking supplements to try lengthen it.

I hope it doesn’t take long to settle! 🩷💫
