    Temps Dips and BFN's

    Hi All.

    I just have a general Q on charts.
    Im still learning a little bit about these.

    The past two i have temped on and on both i have had the classic "implant" dip at around the right time post ovulation.
    Is this a normal occurance on all charts regardless of end result??
    As i am still with out my BFP that i long for. And looking at them everything goes as it should.. then i get to 11 - 14DPO and have that all dreaded Temp Dip as AF announces her arrival.

    Thanks in advance ladies.

    Hey Nescatt,

    To be honest... I have no idea either

    I have had the same thing... lovely big drops at the right times and then ...

    I can't really offer any advice, but just know that you are not alone

    Dips are commonly seen in non pregnant cycles as well.

    With the two pregnancy cycles where I was temping and experienced dips the temp went down to just above the coverline & stayed there for 2 days in one cycle (resulted in full term pregnancy) and 3 days for the other cycle (resulted in miscarriage). I don't know if that is common, but that's how my dips were.

    The other thing I noticed on those cycles was that the temp after the dip would just keep rising to levels higher than I'd normally get in a non pregnant cycle.

    Don't know if that helps.

    I had dips in several cycles over about 18mnths all BFNs.

    The cycle I got a BFP on I wasn't temping so I couldn't tell you if I had a dip that cycle or not...a bit frustrated about not knowing myself! That month my computer decided to go bung and that's where I did all my charting so I kinda skipped it that month

    Can I ask why you have overridden O on your Chart starting the 13th of June?
    Here is a study that FF did on this topic Implantation dip study

    Good luck!!

    Thanx for your response ladies.
    I feel a little more normal.

    Tanya.. i overrode it as it wasnt showing my O date on it (even after 4-5 days later), but i had a positive OPK. And it was my first month of temping and full charting. I generally know my time of O as i get the classic pains in the abdo. So the temp drop and the pos OPK confirmed it.

    I have a FS appoint this comming week so i will hopefully get a few more answers about stuff and workings. hehehe.
