August 12, 2020 at 8:40 pmHello,
I’ve been ttc for a while.. I’ve posted on other forms with hopeful questions before but those months never panned out. Annnyway. I changed a LOT of things over the summer in hopes that I could level my body out and increase our chances. So far (last cycle and this cycle) I’m mostly encouraged about what I’m seeing as both cycles have been WAY shorter then I normally have.
That said, I was wondering if anyone would be able to look at my chart and tell me what you think? The last couple cycles had me stumped from being so short, I’m not used to that. But comparing this cycle to my other cycles, the others generally start out in the 97s, low 98s. Then go to mid/high 98s and up into the 99s (i think I’m going to get a new thermometer but that’s what they all do). I say that because I’m thinking that (based on the others) I ovulated on day 8/9? It’s marked as a possible on my chart. But then also marked for day 22. I missed some days charting around then so I don’t know exactly when the temp increased again. Anyway, I’m wondering if anyone else could look at my chart and tell me what you think on O. If I o on day 8/9 like I think maybe... that puts me way past 18 days.
Another reason I’m thinking that o is at 8/9 days is because looking at my other charts I have a sharp drop in temp the day before I start my period. This time it was a gradual drop over several days.Which isn’t my typical before I start a period.. and from what I’m reading isn’t typical in general? Plus the spotting on days 12-14 and dip in temp on day 17 has me wondering if those were signs of implementation.
I hadn’t taken a test yet cus I wasn’t sure how to read my chart and my hubby was encouraging me to wait until 18 days past the second rise in temps. Now I’m wishing I had taken one so my brain doesnt wonder.
For those who have had a miscarriage I’m wondering a couple things. Did you have a slow drop in temp or a fast one? Also... would it still be possible to get a positive test at this point if I had been pregnant? Or would it not show up now that there’s bleeding?
Thanks for the time.

It's hard to say when ovulation may have occurred with those three missing temps. It also looks like intercourse may not have been timed close enough to ovulation. You might consider adding in OPKs as well.
Keep us posted!
