Question

HELP! Basal temperature is dropping since 2DPO very worried :(

Hi Ladies,

This is my 1st cycle TTC since a missed miscarriage and a D&C on 1st Aug.

I've been BBT charting this month but it's not perfect looking BBT chart as I missed some days, etc.

Today is 3 DPO and I noticed my temperature is not "gearing up" as I would expect and dropping instead.

I am 36 this year and I am panicking. I know it's only 3DPO but my previous charts never showed temp dropping after O.

Is it a sign of luteal phase defect? Low progesterone?

Advise or information will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Oh dear...

yes, I got multiple positive OPK tests starting from CD12. I am using CB advanced OPK that gives you flashing smiley and static smiley faces. I had a flashing smiley face on CD12 and 13. Then, static smiley face on CD14 (used another CB OPK and saw static smiley face on CD15 or 1DPO). It's 3DPO and tested OPK this morning and it was a blank circle.

Ur body most likely attempted to O but for whatever reason, didnt follow through. Its pretty common and there will usually be a second surge shortly after. Its a good thing u r temping tho, when this happens with non-tempers, they miss their window completely.

Thank you, dakotagurrl. Good to know and I feel better after reading your post - certainly less panicking. I will continue temping and look for my "lost" O :)
