Dip & Spike...


Well, on 6dpo I had a pretty big dip in my temp.... so big that my crosshairs actually disappeared. But then this morning, 7dpo, there was a HUGE spike and my crosshairs are back again... I've been doing a little bit of research, and I've found that the dip could possibly be an implantation dip. And the temp rise could be due to the progesterone produced in early pregnancy, or the HCG. So hopefully it's a good sign, but I'm not going to get my hopes up... or at least I'm going to try not to. lol. But either way hopefully my temp will stay up tomorrow!

Here are a couple excerpts from things I've found on the internet...

This one is from Amazing Pregnancy...
"Some women may notice a second rise in temperature around the time of implantation.  This typically would occur around 6 days after ovulation.  This is referred to as a triphasic pattern.  In some rare cases, a woman may notice that her temp stays higher after ovulation, but will slightly dip around 6 days after ovulation;  this also can be an indication that implantation has occurred."

And this is from Fertility Friend...
"A triphasic chart can be promising, however, because progesterone levels generally increase after implantation (7-10 days past ovulation) in conception cycles, and sometimes this results in a triphasic pattern. If your chart shows a second significant thermal shift that begins 7-10 days past ovulation, Fertility Friend will indicate a triphasic pattern in the Pregnancy Monitor. A triphasic chart, however, is not a definite sign that you are or are not pregnant. It is just increasing your probability if you also have well-timed intercourse. Likewise, you can be pregnant and not have a triphasic pattern. Like all signs of possible implantation or pregnancy, you can really only speculate about it once a pregnancy has already been confirmed."

...Fingers Crossed!!!
