@aweb - I looked at your chart - while I do so a rise, it doesn't look like it's that much over your cover line so it's hard to say that it means you ovulated. I think usually they like to see around .5 - 1 degree above the cover line to indicate ovulation. While your temp did drop and rise, it didn't rise much over where it was before. However, maybe tomorrow it will be higher! What do you think?

Thx for the feedback - I honestly don't know. I'm not very well versed with charting temps - I only started doing temps in July at 7 dpo and was pregnant that cycle, stopped temping at 12 dpo when I got my bfp. After my loss in September I didn't start temping again until my first cycle in October - so really I have only ever temped 1 full cycle lol

My first cycle after the loss in October was also strange so Ithe 1 full month that I did temp was screwy anyways lol -

I guess I'll just have to keep BDing until the end of this cycle to cover everything! :)

Awebste- just checked out your charts. So for October, it looks like you O'd on CD 21/22 when you got that second positive OPK. That would make your TWW from that cycle 14 days in length, which is what it should be. Also, that would show you that you have a slow temp rise but a definite dip at O time. I also ovulate around the same time in my cycle and I have a big dip, then a slow rise, just like you! Check out my chart. One temp rule that I follow is that 1DPO will be the first temp that's higher than temps from the previous 6 days. Also, the temp increase must be at least .3 degrees higher than the previous day (not always true for me though). I hope that helps! If you see a 3rd high temp tomorrow then CTP will probably place a coverline on your graph. It would typically be there by now but you are missing some temps so it only knows 4 days of temps before your increase. Does that make sense? Anyways, I think you O'd!! FX you caught that eggie!! â?¤ï¸?ð???ð???

Ooooh, I just want to modify what I've said slightly. FOR ME, I know I've ovulated when I have 1 temp that's higher than previous 6 but this is because I have that big dip. I think the rule there is THREE temps in a row that are higher than the 6 temps before them. Yep. That's definitely it. Still, Awebste, I think you are covered but tomorrow you will know for sure!

ok ill see what tomorrow brings and go from there!

my cycle last month was super weird....i have never had a 34 day cycle so I am assuming my body was still adjusting after the loss. prior to my loss my cycle was around 26-28 days - and when i got pregnant in july I ovulated around cd 14-16...so I am wondering if this month my body is trying to get back to normal.

ill wait and see what my temps like tomorrow and go from there!

Just uploaded what I am hoping is a bfp. But I'm 16 dpo today so it seems odd for it to be so faint. On the other hand, I have never made it past 12 dpo, so I'm feeling pretty good about it.

I've been silently following.. and just wanted to extend baby dust to all those still waiting..

I was diagnosed with pre menopause and watched as my nearly 40 yr old body started to change.. no libido, cycles were 28 then 36 then 44 then 80 days aparr.. I watched friends who were using supplements get pg and I refused that stuff.. Then I gave in and tried Soy isoflavones--they just stopped everything.. 12 yrs is a long time to be stubborn and this yr I turned 40 and realized I'm running out of time. 3 cycles in a yr were not going to cut it, OPKs never went negative so I knew my LH was higher than normal. So in October I started on 1200 mg of Vitex and started drinking Red RaspberryLeaf tea (3 cups). I had a cycle of spotting only on 10/31-11/4. I finally ovulated according to fertility friend on 11/26. I had a dip in temps on dpo 7 and 8 and then came back up. Tested on 12/5 in the eve--bfn, tested at 3 am on 12/6 very very faint line that has darkened as it dried to a no doubt faint visible line. I still didnt believe it but had to go to the ER for non pregnancy related issues and the urine test was negative but also had blood work done and level came back at 19. I am still apprehensive as we've had 3 other losses since our daughter was born 14 years ago. But I owe my success to the vitex..
just wanted to share.. it truly reversed my pre menopause symptoms--gave me my libido back and I finally ovulated..
Good Luck ladies..

3 wks 3 days e.d.d August 19,2015

Two smiley in a row and me and the hubby had a great time just came bk from out of town visiting the fam now time for the wait praying I get my bfp for Xmas ...edd would be august 30 so I'm floating

So my period is here. First month on vitex. Cycle went from 59 days to 34.
Is there a September 2015 board yet?

Hi ladies, how are you all doing?

I'm not having the greatest of days. 12 dpo, second day in a row of low bbt (still over the coverlines though) and to make matters worse had a bit of brown spotting after bding this morning, so I'm thinking AF is on her way. Surely, a bit too early (she's due on Saturday) but surely also a bit too late for implantation symptoms? Argh, so confused. I'm having a beta done on Wednesday, so I guess I won't need to wait too long to find out. Although I'm already prepared to accept another failed cycle :(

Sorry to bring you down, girls. I guess I just needed to vent.

Baby dust to all of you
