Why have my temps plummeted so much?!

[TTC5]

Please take a look at my chart? I have not yet ovulated either... is this just from coming off the pill? I have had one period and this is the first month charting since....:suprise:

[pinkdreams]

Hmmmm, that is tricky. My only thought would be the shift in hormones from the pill? I hope it normalizes soon.

[DoulaMama]

That's what I'm thinking....the temps are most likely coming back to your regular temp range? Maybe you'll ovulate really soon? FX'd!!

[TTC5]

Wonder if my body is TRYING to ovulate but it is just being a little delayed?

Also another thought Sunday we started Daylight Savings does this affect our temps?

[rainbowflower]

I think you're about to ovulate especially as you have fertile CM. Before my last pregnancy I would get 3-4 much lower temperatures before ovulation, it was handy to know when OV was coming!

[Flava]

I don't know but if you did not O yet them must be from the pill?

[skrimpy]

Sometimes temps do drop before ovulation, which is why they sometimes say it's a "classic ovulation dip." But usually it's just one day. Maybe your temps are still a little strange from coming off the pill. If you are taking your temp at a different time now b/c of the time change that could have an effect too... are you ending up taking them earlier? Sometimes mine just hop around in a cycle anyways... I would keep an eye on it for the next couple of days.

I agree with rainbowflower that if you're having the ewcm you'll probably O in the next few days. Is the ewcm pretty normal for what you had before going on the pill?

[TTC5]

Well I have now gone to wet, only had the ewcm once that day :(

CD 19 and still no O and this morning my temp went up again.

I am quite sick with a sinus infection so maybe that is sending me out of whack too?

I have this all the time, I came off the pill 6 months ago. I have 2 days of really low temps and then a "slow rise", I think you may have O'ed CD 18 and your temps will continue to slowly rise. After 3-4 days FF will give you crosshairs if you O'ed on CD 18 and are having a slow rise.

[TTC5]

Well today is CD 20 and I finally got the egg symbol on my CBFM (peak/positive) :) I have swollen vulva and some mild pains in the tummy so I think I will be o'ing very very shortly :)

[atomic sagebrush]

That is def. an offbeat chart haha!

i can't add anything other than what has already been said, but I do think the sinus infection may have something to do with it - maybe sleeping with your mouth open a bit?? I've also read that you can get screwy temps from Daylight Savings Time.

[TTC5]

Probably a bit of both hey? One O happened, it has gone back up to "normal".

[atomic sagebrush]

Good! Must have just been one of those things (I think our bodies like to drive us insane when we're thinking of attempting.)

[TTC5]

See what happens next cycle hey we *May* try cycle after that.. maybe.. lol
