Temperature Dips

Thanks BBM. I'm also wondering about something else about the charts. I've looked at others and there are lines on them seperating DPO etc. Mine doesn't have any lines and doesn't point out any ovulation point. Is this because my first week or so the temps were all same, due to error on my part. Or could it be that I'm on a trial VIP? Or do I have to chart mucous as well as temps?

FF should indicate ovulation if you are on the free trial. Its only when you get the end of the free trial and you don't sign up that you are downgraded to the version that doesn't have all the extra bits.

Recording CM will make a big difference to how FF interprets your temps.

On the Basic version you will still get given lines to pinpoint ovulation...the vip version actually counts how many days past ovualation you are and shows that info on your chart...

FF will only give you lines if it has clear indicators that it has picked up ovulation...ie a sustained thermal shift, and EWCM, or a positive opk.   I couldnt find your chart on the list, so I'm not sure whether it has given you lines at all yet? It may be thrown out also because of your missing temps earlier in your cycle?

I find that my temps gradually go down in the three days leading up to afs arrival, to bring them back down to pre-ovulation temp range...ie before ovulation my temps seem to range 36.3 - 36.6, then I ovulate and the go up to 36.8 - 37.1, and then just before af arrives they go down again, so I might get a 36.89 then a 36.8, then a 36.6, and then af will arrive, if that makes sense??

Nefertiti yep my first month. I think if I worked mine out correctly I should be 1DPO today but FF isnt showing that. Having said that, I started my entering in the data for my CM at CD1 but I only started the temps 2 days ago (had to find a good BBT thermo and I didnt want to wait for one to be delivered). So that may have something to do with mine.

I hope this works, here is my FF chart.

rianna, that doesn't come up with your chart.

let see if mine works :)

here is mine :)

Rianna - FF won't show DPO till you are 3dpo as you have to have three raised temps to confirm OV, so give it a couple of days and you should get your crosshairs (assuming you had a good rise, I haven't looked at your chart).

Nefertiti - I always used to get a pre-ov drop the day before/day of ovulation, and then it would go up and stay up until the day before AF started when it would drop again.

Thanks Maya. What do you make of my chart and DPO?

Actually, maybe even CD17, coz your temps went up from there? It really is hard to tell. And of course you might have o'd earlier, around CD13 like you originally said, but with the skewed data it's impossible to say.

Ok...I just checked 'discard' in the days that I read temp incorrectly, and it gave me the lines. So FF says I am 8 DPO...but now that puts me very close to af, which I was expecting this wed/thu..
