Maybe you ovulated on day 10!
Did you get AF after day 30? If not, you may have O'd on day 22 or shortly before and just have a slow-riser! Keep up with the charting - you're doing well for your first cycle, and it does take a couple months to know what days had disturbances and which temps to not include due to late rising, etc. My first chart looked pretty wacky too! After a while things may seem a bit more consistent with the temps. Are you taking them at the same time every day?
What is AF?
I was wondering if I may ovulated the 22nd (day 15) too. Not sure about that weird spike. Is a dip like that normal?
And yes, I take my temp at 6 am daily. So not sure the reason for the irregularity.
We've been trying to get pregnant, so I'm hoping to get the hang of this! Thanks for your help! I think we had poor timing this month. I thought I ovulated at the first spike. But is my dip at the end a fall back or does it have to go below the cover line to be a fall back?
Thanks so much ladies for your help!!
You know this is my third month charting my first two looked similar to your or maybe you did not ovulate this month?
Sorry, AF means "Aunt Flo"/your period. Hope that helps
Also, dips that happen on one day drastically are usually due to an estrogen surge just before ovulation. However, dips aren't always signficant. I hardly ever get them, and sometimes I get dips for a few days! Sometimes sleeping with your mouth open can make your waking temp lower, so if you had sore throat or stuffy nose you could have slept with your mouth open for a few days in a row. Or maybe the dip has no significance. The real significance is in the rise, to know that you HAVE ovulated. Did you get your period after day 30, or what day did you get it? That might help know how long your luteal phase (post-ovulatory phase) is if you did ovulate this month. Though I can't say with certainty one way or another.
Good to know about the sleeping with the mouth open thing. Maybe that's it!
And no, no period yet. Fingers crossed!
By the way thanks for your help!
Wow! I did not know about the sleeping with your mouth open dip! It sure explains so much for me as I too have dips and can't quite explain them. Thanks for posting your chart!!! Good luck as they say thinking sticky baby thoughts for you!!!
Hi, to me it tooks like you ovulated around day 21 or 22 because your temps have stayed above the coverline after this. Good Luck!
Thanks ladies! I actually got my period. :( But that's okay! Better luck next month, right?
Either way I do really appreciate your help. I'm so new to this, so this is all good to know. Basically it seems like the consensus is that I ovulated... sometime. Maybe I'll try an ovulation detector kit! Haha.
