Charting - please help 😊

[Charlottem]

I am currently new to charting, this is what I've had so far. Look at that massive temp drop! OV is just around the corner, any guidance to if this is normal? Thanks

Oh wow I don’t know anything about temping really but would like to know what that means as it should increase not fall maybe your ovulation date is incorrect??and it was were your temp peaked did you input the information yourself or is it predicted have you been checking your mucus

I have been temping manually myself every morn and checking cm as well. All of my LH tests are negative but that sudden spike made me think I ov early... I've been getting some watery cm but not the egg white stuff I had previously (bare in mind that was just after mc)

I tried the temperature, it’s not working. There are too many other factors I think that mess the results

[Charlottem in reply to Lilly12255]

Ohh okay thanks. I thought that too, I'm counting on cm and opks atm

[Lilly12255 in reply to Charlottem]

I also tried opks, it’s not working for me either

I would say you might have. you would have to keep an eye on that if your temp is high it usually suggests your ovulating but as op says lots of factors can come into ttc like if you have any underlying health conditions most of us here have unexplained fertility or underlying health issues that can tamper with those kind of things they are only supposed to be a guide I don’t think checking cm is useful fertile mucus is enough you usually have more which is visible when you ovulate and it’s a clear sign of ovulation sometimes raise in sex drive .for me I had to think of it this way to keep me sane those in poor countries don’t use pregnancy tests or track ovulation but only use their own body in South Africa they used to use frogs as pregnancy tests which I thought was funny but you can see a lot of pregnancy’s happening But I guess we are on different journeys I have children and didn’t get into all this temp checking etc until I started having fertility issues now it makes me depressed and consumes my life I just have to accept what will be will be for me but everyone’s journey is different good luck x

Your temps start low then after ovulation it’s supposed to rise and stay above the cover line and if you conceive it should stay higher or drop when your period is on its way.
