Possible implantation dip?

October 4, 2020 at 8:56 amI’ve been charting for 8 months now, and I’ve just had an irregularity that I’ve never seen. My temps since ovulation have seemed normal (above cover line), but yesterday and today (days 10 & 11 post ovulation) my waking tip was just below the coverline, and I’ve had spotting. However I’m still a week away from when my period usually begins. Could this timing make sense as an implantation dip? The other thing is that my coverline is higher this month than usual, by about .2, but maybe it’s normal for that to fluctuate from month to month??

October 5, 2020 at 12:12 pmThat's hard to say. Implantation usually occured around 7 - 10 DPO. Some people may see an dip in temps, but there isn't a way to confirm it is from implantation.

Looking at your chart it looks like you are 13 DPO and your luteal phase looks to last about 15 days. If it was another week to your period, that would be a really long luteal phase. Do you think maybe you ovulated earlier this cycle? CD 12 looks like your likely ovulation day. Is that what you think as well?

You can start taking pregnancy tests now as well.

October 6, 2020 at 5:00 amHi Andrea, thanks for your response. I pretty regularly have a 28 day cycle, and ovulating around day 12 has seemed typical as I’ve been charting. This cycle got strange because my temp dropped and stayed below the cover line on day 23 of my cycle, so super early, and I haven’t really started my period, I’ve only had minimal spotting. Is there some explanation for that?

October 6, 2020 at 9:01 amI am not sure why you might be spotting, but it's not uncommon to see spotting at this point in a cycle.

As well, our cycles might not always follow the same patterns that we are used to. You could take a pregnancy test now at this time, or wait a couple days to see if your period shows up.

Keep me posted!
