Good Morning!

[rachie204]

Morning ladies!  Well I woke up and had another really low temp. but I was almost positive I ovulated Friday..so I decided I would copy my chart onto here hoping someone who is familiar with charting could give me some input.  Also I started on some progestrone yesterday morning.  In that aspect I guess my temp would have even been lower this morning had I not begun that yesterday.  Let my know if this link does not work.

After ovulation, your temps will rise 3 days in a row and stay high.  Temps change all the time.  It could be a result of just tossing and turning.  Temps are very sensitive and the worst is that temp charting only tells you AFTER you ovulate.  I would use OPK's this week and next...progestrone keeps your temps high after O...is this prescribed by your OB?

yeah last month I was expecting a 45 day cycle and it surprised me at 35 days so I don't have any reason to believe that it couldn't be a 30 day cycle, or that it isn't going to be a 40 day one.  Guess I will just have to wait it out and keep Baby dancing.

i am going to test at dop10 and 12.  so in about 3 days.  I have read some of the other posts.  I didn't know you had irregular cycles.  are you not using opk. you probably should.  that is what i have been using.  but if you have a 28 to 31 day cycle then it is possible.  and that fact that you have low progesterone that makes a big difference.  progesterone is what makes your temps rise.

[rachie204]

what do you think could have caused the large dip on friday and the spike on Sat if I haven't ovulated yet?

[brookie12]

And your temps will be much higher after Oing...they are still very low.

[brookie12]

Oh then you are probably approaching ovulation.  Progestrone will help lengthen your luteal phase which will help an egg stick.

i have always had normal periods up until the past year.  Then they started at 65 days apart and started to get shorter lately.  Last month was 35 days

[rachie204]

well i just have low progesterone in general.  I worry that due to having low progesterone my temps aren't going to be consistent enough for 3 days to get a coverline on FF.  

[brookie12]

I looked at it again-if you have 28ish day cycles then you probably did ovulate...are you taking OPK's?

[brookie12]

FF has not detected ovulation yet.  If you have a history of long cycles then you probably didnt O yet.  Are you on progestrone for a short LP?  I would not stop BD or you may miss it.

thanks timika....this is my first month charting so I don't really know what is good and what is bad.  I had some cramping in my uterine area yesterday but I didn't expect anything like that until around 8dpo or so.  I'm going to try and not get my hopes up.  Thanks again.  When are you going to be testing?

[timika]

to me this looks very promising.  you had an implantation dip today it looks like yesterday.  and it seems to be a slow rise today.  i have read you are suppose to implant 5 to 10 days after ovulation.  let me know how it turns out as i am in the same boat. besides i had an implantation did on dpo 7 today  so baby dust to you and keep in touch

[rachie204]

yes i do it at 7 every morning

[timika]

do you chart every morning at the same time?
