Implantation dip at 5dpo?

[Nadine]

I have read that it normally happens between 7-10dpo, but can it happen earlier?

My chart is in my sig if you want to have a peak

Thanks

[Twinkie]

It is possible that it can happen at 5dpo, but it's just not all that common. The other thing it might be is a fallback rise. This often happens to me at around 4 or 5dpo. Fingers crossed for it being an implantation dip, though!!!

[Nadine]

Thankyou Twinkie, but what is a fallback rise?

[satya]

It could happen that early but I don't think that's what it is. Because you've had other temps after O that are the same it doesn't seem likely to me. I had one with my last pregnancy and it happened quite late in the cycle and then my temps shot up higher than they were before the dip and kept climbing for 3 days til I got a BFP.

[Twinkie]

FF says it better than me......

Fallback rise: Temperatures may show a "fallback rise" pattern. In a fallback rise pattern the temperature rises significantly and abruptly as you would expect, but then it drops again immediately before it rises again and is sustained throughout the luteal phase.

I'm not sure what causes it, but it's quite common. Most charts I've seen with an implantation dip at 5dpo go on to have anothter dip around 7 or 9dpo, so whether it's really a implantation dip or implantation dip at 5dpo when pregnant is hard to tell. I will keep my fingers crossed for you either way!!!
Best of luck

[Nadine]

Thankyou ladies. I guess I can only wait and see

[Netti]

my chart seems to be having one of those fallback rise things, hmmm, maybe its a good thing for you nadine and me if it means a BFP lol

[Twinkie]

I'm 5dpo today and my temp dropped a bit too. But this is fairly normal for me. I've had a perfect chart since O, so I'm hoping that it's just a fallback rise before my implantation dip Fingers crossed for us all ladies!!!! Hoping to hear of BFPs all round!

[Twinkie]

Nadine, your chart is showing dips at 6dpo and 10dpo with your temp still rising!! Looking good!! I just got a mega dip again today at 8dpo so I am praying it's an implantation dip!!! Best of luck and lets hope we both get a BFP this cycle!!!!!

[Trish]

Go Dine, Fingers crossed for you sweety

Twinkie, I hope you get your BFP too this month hun.

[Nadine]

Thanks ladies

Twinkie- Thanks heaps My temp dipped this morning again, so not feelinng very confident atm. My post O temps are a bit erratic this cycle LOL. Good luck to you Sounds promising!!!

[Twinkie]

Nadine - those dips aren't that low, I'd be testing if I was you!! When are you planning to test, or are you just going to wait AF out? I'll be testing at 12dpo, as AF shows up for me on 13dpo (12 day LP), so Friday. Fingers crossed for you!!!! Hope to hear about your BFP very soon!!!!

[Nadine]

Twinkie- It dipped again this morning so I am not too hopeful. I am thinkng that AF will arrive today or tomorrow. I was going to wait till I was late with AF to test (due tomorrow). Good Luck with testing on Friday. Let me know how you go

[Twinkie]

Wow, that's bizarre!! I'm not sure who's chart I've been looking at but it wasn't yours Nadine! Sorry about that. Yes, that dip isn't looking good. I don't think you O'd when FF said, though. You don't have enough temps in there. Possible you are 10dpo today? Your LP would be way too short at 7 days long. Mine is 12 days long and that is still a bit short (average is 14 days long). Do you actually know when you O'd?

[satya]

I looked dips up on FF as I've just had one and it seems that they are caused by an estrogen surge. You are more likely to see a dip in pregnancy cycles than in non pregnant ones but they do still happen in non pregnant ones. You can have an estrogen surge from a second ovulation or for other unknown reasons.

My did lasted for two days in this cycle so I'm feeling a little nervous. The only other time I've had this happen was during a pregnancy cycle (I had a 3 day dip that time before the rise).

[klee]

ladies, don't give up hope until af comes, my temp went down for two consecutive days, 13dpo and 14dpo, by a total of .35 to just at my coverline, only for it to go back up again on 15dpo, so i guess i just wanted to say don't give up hope just yet.

[Nadine]

Twinkie- No it probably was my chart. i have changed it. Does the chart that u look at start temping at cd17? Then that is mine. I had temps in from cd12-16 but they were fake. i did this early on so i would get a coverline. I got rid of them because I asked somewhere when people think i O'd, so to not confuse them i put it to what it is meant to be. CD22 for O isn't right though i don't think. Had no ewcm and no pains. Whereas cd 16 i did so...........

Satya- Oh good Luck. Hope that dip is promising

Klee- Thankyou

[Twinkie]

Ahh, well that makes sense, LOL. I put your O at CD19 (10dpo) based on those temps that you have in there. The temps are too low to support an earlier O day. Fallback rise at 2dpo and then dips at 7 and 10dpo, which might indicate implantation as the dips are right on track. But like Satya said, the dips are caused by a surge in eostrogen not implantation as commonly believed (is just a coincidence that they happen at the same time.
Although....

estrogen surge from a second ovulation

this is incorrect as you can't O twice in one cycle (and if you did it would be within 24 hours). The dips in your temp Nadine aren't below the coverline anyway, so I wouldn't be too worried (and I think FF has put your coverline too high either way). As for getting an O line, you can do a manual one of the day you think you O'd. You go into "ovulation dector" tuning/overide. It gives you a blue line and you can put in a manual coverline for temps if you want to (I think you put 1/10 above the highest low temp before your O surge). The coverline that FF gave you based on those fake temps will stuff up your future chart averages. But hopefully it won't matter as you'll be pregnant, LOL.

Klee - well that's good to hear!! Thanks for sharing!

Best of luck ladies!! Hope to hear of some BFPs soon!
