Hi ladies,
I'm in the dreaded 2WW! 8dpo today..
Does anyone know if it is possible to have an implantation dip on one cycle and still implant and not have an implantation dip in another cycle?
It looks like I had an "implantation dip" for all of my seven pregnancies. So far this cycle I haven't had a dip and my temps are still high. Is it possible that I could still have implanted without a dip? I'm loosing my hope.. :(
Ironically my bfn charts looks more "steady" high and not much dips and my bfp charts are more like all over the place. So I hate to see my temp going steady, ha ha!

The implantation dip is not actually a thing. It's a misnomer. What that dip is, is called the secondary estrogen surge and it happens because at about 7 dpo, the corpus luteum starts to break down, so your body releases a surge of estrogen to maintain your uterine lining a little longer and allow a fertilized egg to burrow in and send a signal to your ovary to keep the corpus luteum alive to make more progesterone. Since estrogen lowers temps, when you release that surge of estrogen, it can register as a lower temp for a day or so on your chart, and this happens at the same time the corpus luteum is struggling a bit so progesterone (which raises temps) can drop at the same time. But it is NOT because anyone is implanting, it's because your body made that estrogen.
Many people get those dips every month even when not pregnant. Many more others NEVER get them even when they are pregnant. And many many more people have them sometimes and not other times.
They did a study on Fertility Friend which you can see here: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Implantation-dip-study.html and found that in cycles when people have a very visible temp dip 7 DPO or so, they are somewhat more likely to get pregnant than in cycles where they don't (23% as opposed to 11%). This is why people originally thought it had to do with implantation. But it ISN'T implantation, and it's nowhere near 100% (as you can tell, 23% and 11% are really small numbers of people!!)

Thank you for your reply atomic! I appreciate all of your advice and your knowledge so much!
I can't stop wondering WHY this study claiming it's more likely to get pregnant with these dips. This is true for me. Do you have any theories?
I can totally understand what you're saying and the effects of hormones on bbt.

Because in cycles you're more "hormone-y" it may be that you release more/better eggs and/or have a better lining. The more estrogen you have on hand, it can be good for all sorts of things. Plus, many people have a short LP NOT because they have low progesterone, but because they have low estrogen - they don't have a good secondary estrogen surge, and so their lining starts to break down, and the baby doesn't have enough time to implant to signal the corpus luteum not to break down before the pregnancy ends. This may be a cause of some chemical pregnancies (and why it is so important on LE Diet to continue eating enough fat!!)

Late implantation? :/ A thought, if the egg implant 9-10 dpo instead of 6-7 dpo... Could this explain fainter test for this point?
Slow progression?

December 17th, 2019, 09:05 AM
I don't find late implantation to be an actual thing.
I am hoping these tests are just not super good tests and the control line is sucking up the dye so the test line is still light. Positive is positive and they're definitely positive, so I'm hoping we start seeing darkening tests in a couple days.
Any way to get in for a blood test?

CD 15 today and STRONG positive opk and ovulation pain.
I don't know what more to do. This is the supps me and dh is taking:
Me: Folat (no acid), magnesium, Q10 (high dose!), selenium, vitamin D, vitamin E, zinc, baby aspirin and vitamin B12.
DH: Folic acid, zink, vimatin D and Q10.
I've been eating supps much longer than dh.
I'm having an ultrasound in a couple of weeks (uterine polyps?!). They won't do any blood test.. :mad: But it's clear that we don't have any problems to get pregnant...

What doses are you guys taking??
Do you have a proven clotting disorder or are you taking the aspirin just in case?? We are finding that for those who don't need it, aspirin is causing more harm than good.

Thanks for reply atomic.
I've read all posts about aspirin. I just feel torn.. :(
No, no clotting disorder confirmed! But with DD and DH i did take aspirin until delivery, also with all my miscarriages. Some of my cycles without aspirin has resulted in bfn's. (i know, it's impossible to say if aspirin is doing any good...)
My doses:
Q10 900 mg
Zinc 50 mg
Folate 1000 mcg
Magnesium 350 mg
Selenium 400 mg
Vitamin E 270 mg
Vitamin B12 1000 mcg

My inclination, given your history of inexplicable losses is for you to wean off the aspirin. Even though it worked out a couple times, the fact is something is not right here and I would start by eliminating the one thing we know of hat's been linked in studies to be potentially harmful since you have no medical need for it.
You are taking WAY, WAY too much of some of these things. I strongly urge you to immediately wean off of them. Just because some nutrients are good, more is not better.
Coq10 - 400 mg max and I think because you've been taking so much it might be better if you dropped to 200
Zinc - 8-15 mg. That dose is poison for a woman in the long term. That high amount of zinc is meant to be used only for a short time as help getting over a cold.
Are you taking iron?? That high dose of zinc may have blocked your iron intake, I'd add in 18-30 mg daily
I don't recommend more than 200 mg magnesium for women
That is much more than the recommended daily amount of selenium. You cannot just find out what is the absolute highest dose that doesn't cause harm and then take that indefinitely, it builds up. I strongly strongly suggest weaning back to more like 100% (which is 50 mcg) or coming off it all together.
Vit E - you're also taking a massive dose of Vit. E and Vit. E has been linked to causing birth defects. Please no more than 100% daily recommended value (15mg)
Way too much B12 and your body stores B12 (it doesn't just get excreted fast like other B vitamins) I would take 1000 mcg only once a week or find a different supplement that had a much lower dose. 100% is only 2.5 mcg!!!
The only thing I can see you could possibly benefit from (in addition to starting iron) is increasing folate to 2000 mcg. Everything else needs to be reduced posthaste - but do be sure to wean, don't just drop stuff!

Wow! What a shock to hear that you think i'm taking massive doses! Most of the doses is normal recommendations in Sweden.
Except some of the supps, like Q10, but i've read some studies about Q10 and fertility.
This article is mention a study that investigate 600 mg of Q10 and fertility - https://blog.theralogix.com/coq10-fertility/ . This study says intake of up to 900 mg/day is safe for healthy adults - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5870379/#!po=67.6136 .
In Swedish forum you can read about women told to take up to 1000 mg before ivf.
I've read about too much zinc being toxic. I'm not taking more than recommendations. I will look over this one more time.
I'm taking iron now and then, not daily.
Selenium, 400 mcg not mg! Sorry! But i will wean off, also taking smaller doses of Vit E.
Because i'm a vegetarian i thought it would be a good idea to take one tab of 1000 mcg now and then (not exactly every day, i forget some times).
Magnesium, i'm taking a higher dose because i have a high pulse rate and magnesium has lower my pulse a little bit, i'm not having that much palpitations any longer (The Office of Dietary Supplements recommends a magnesium intake of 400 milligrams per day for adult men between the ages of 19 and 30 and 420 milligrams per day for adult men above the age of 30). Not taken for fertility directly.
-Ok, and the aspirin.. I hear you, and i think i will wean off..! Feels scary to not do what i did with DD and DH. But i see your point. I'm taking 60 mg/day. Should i wean off right away, even in 2WW? (4dpo tomorrow)
Thank you atomic, THANK YOU for your support :heart:

I understand there is a set of guidelines they put out there to prevent people from like literally killing themselves with supplements immediately upon taking them, but over the course of time many of these things build up in the body and it is just best to keep to the 100% daily recommendation for most things particularly when you've been taking them a long time. Your body is not meant to take your nutrients in pill form and I feel more comfortable with you guys taking reasonable amounts of these things. You don't have to wean off them all totally but taking a lower dose will give you the benefits without the risks.
The magnesium is honestly the least of our worries here if you'd like to continue with that as long as it's not giving you diarrhea.
I would start weaning off the aspirin now, don't be drastic, just go to every other day.

I'm not seeing it here in the picture but that's just my laptop I'm sure.
I suggest coming off aspirin for anyone who has not been shown to have clotting disorders. Even if you just chose to go to every other day, or 3x a week instead, if the issue is that your blood is just too thin, it may help.

I'm not a huge believer in progression. While we never want to see a dark test suddenly go super light, and we do want to see a general trend of darker tests from here on, in early days it's not unusual for the tests to dance back and from darker to lighter and even to totally negative back to positive again.
Several people have had light tests with FMU and darker ones with SMU. we aren't sure but it may be because your pee saves up overnight, it's more diluted and then the SMU has a higher concentration hormone in it.

Been able to listen to the babys heart since 8w3d with my sonoline B! 187 beautiful heartbeats :heart:

Now i have a hard time believing this news! A GIRL?! :awe:
It’s so typical me to not stop second guessing! What if they missed a smaaaal amount of y chromosome! What if they analyzed my own dna! Gaah!
My fetal fraction was 10% at 10w1d (Harmony NIPT). That’s good i guess.
When we conceived this little one i wasn’t swaying like before, just wanted to be pg. Had multiple attempts (three in fertile window), much supps for both me and DH (like high dose vit D) and fell asleep right after bd every time. But I KNOW women concieving their dream gender without swaying, all the time.
BUT both me and dh are vegetarians, i had no ewcm, no breakfast, told dh to stop weightlifting (stopped last autumn) and just do running, both me and dh had much diet soda and i took baby aspirin (ph).
Feels like it’s too good to be true. :tissue:

I think you were in too declined condition to conceive before and actually needed to do blue-friendly stuff just to get pregnant, so you were still in the "girl zone". Running for hubby is also really an effective tactic.
Question just so I know - I thought you'd stopped the baby aspirin before you got pregnant?
The Harmony is accurate!! Huge congrats!!!

Thanks atomic!
Still i had three chemicals in a row, october, november and december. :think: Also a m/c at 6w2d in august last year. I was thinking super fertile, besides we couldn't keep our babies for some reason. I really don't know.
I stopped the baby aspirin when i had my positive hpt this time :) Took your advice.

Declined condition doesn't necessarily mean you're not fertile. Condition refers to your overall health/fitness and fertility just is your ability to conceive. They are related, but not directly linked.
I'm just speculating. We can't know ever why someone had a boy or a girl. I do see a lot of girls conceived to people who have been struggling for a while and had some chemicals. :heart:

Atomic,
For how long can i take Folate (1,000 mcg/day)? I'm afraid to quit. 16w2d today!

You must wean off it immediately. It can cause asthma if you take it into the third trimester, and some people think it may be linked to autism as well. Just start spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week.

Thanks!

That seems too fast to me. Please do 1000 for a couple days before bumping down to 500. Let it take a couple weeks.
