For me, my temps always fluctuated up and down above my coverline until the day before/of AF's arrival. Then my temps would do a big drop and go below my coverline and that meant AF was on her way.

Also for me, I would have a triphasic chart (meaning it would go up after O and then go up AGAIN after implantation) for both my BFP charts. But I know some people have triphasic charts on BFN cycles and some people don't have them at all, regardless of pregnancy.

Here's an example of one of my BFN charts and one of my BFP charts:

@ValentineMommy: That's ALSO very normal, haha! I drove myself insane every cycle! And every morning it was the same: "Oh, my temp did ______ today, what does that mean???? I can't believe I have to wait a whole 24 hours to maybe get some answers!!!" TTC sucks. I hope you don't have to do it for much longer!

I always found positive pregnancy charts make a continuous progression upward after ovulation. They can stairstep (go up, come down, go up further, come down less) but the downs need to also get progressively higher. Some charts will have a drop for implantation but otherwise keep going up. Your chart looks good so far but it's still early to tell. If it still looks good by day 10-12 you can poas to know for sure. Best of luck!

I found that in my BFP chart when I charted, my temps remained somewhat constant. I did not have a triphasic chart, they just remained at the same level til I got the BFP. This time, I stopped charting after I confirmed O, and it was the BEST THING EVER. If I ever have to chart to TTC again, I will not chart in the TWW--way too stressful, and caused me to just obsess over it.

I found that my BFN chart looked exactly the same as my BFN chart except that instead of a big dip at 13-14 days post-O, the temps stayed high. They didn't climb again until around 17 dpo. Yours does look nice so far, but it is really too early to tell.

@ValentineMommy: This is totally the problem with charting in the TWW. It certainly LOOKS good to me, but you can't really tell what's going on until you see tomorrow's temp now!

@ValentineMommy: I'm obsessed with analyzing charts!! I got a temp rise at 8 DPO in my BFP chart, but I've had lots of charts where my temps just go up and then down and then up and then down, so it's hard to know what's going on from just one day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you though!

@ValentineMommy: not everyone gets an implantation dip. I agree with Adira--it LOOKS good, but unfortunately that doesn't necessarily mean anything I hope this is your month!

@ValentineMommy: chart looks good! FX!

@ValentineMommy: I drove myself absolutely crazy charting during the TWW. I would analyze every rise and dip and compare my charts to others. As soon as I would take my temp, I would wish the day would fly by so it would already be the next morning and I could get another clue as to whether I was pregnant or not. And when the temp dropped, I would get so gloomy and then just wait for my period.

I'm glad I did it for a few cycles b/c it's very educational, but then I stopped during the TWW and eventually altogether (once I started medicated cycles, there wasn't much point). I think it's worth weighing how much of this is helpful in getting you BFP, and how much is making you crazy!

@ValentineMommy: When are you going to test?
