Outoftheblue, since I have had many previous dips like this, more than likely it's just like the previous ones I think? Surely I have not been getting to the implantation all these months and then it not sticking?Quote:

I'm thinking it's probably just a natural dip in our cycle but :fx: still for you. Isn't the 2ww just maddening!?! I'm either 6, 7 or 8 dpo today so we're close!Quote:

it hasn't dropped below coverline and it's too early to be an implantation dip - that normally happens at 7 or 8dpo, but can be 5dpo at earliest
generally the "shape" of a chart during the 2ww gives no clues as to what is happening in relation to conception
Thanks for the information rainbowflower. I really appreciate it!!!! I keep trying to dissect each and every twinge and temp I get LOL! It is crazy trying to figure it all out! I hope my temps stay high cause that means you are more likely pregnant right?Quote:

my OPK seems to be starting to get darker!! not sure how long it will take to get a proper positive, in the past it has varied from 2 days to 5 days... but I was taking vitex and BF less this cycle so maybe it'll be on the shorter side of things
Yay, rainbow! My OPKs have been almost the same for days now - dark enough that I think O is imminent, but not dark enough to be +. It's getting veeeery frustrating. To confuse things more, I had two ICs that looked *almost* positive yesterday. My cervix is still SHOW and as far as I can tell I still have EWCM.
My temp's gone up a little today - not enough to be a spike since it's still below my usual coverline, but enough to be noticeable after that dip I had the last 2 days. If it keeps climbing, I wonder if FF will give me crosshairs again without a +OPK?
how far apart did you test? it could be that the peak of the surge happens between the two
for me, I usually OV when my temp rises back up from the pre-OV dip (i.e. not the initial temp rise back up to normal pre-OV levels, but the day of the second rise)
I've been testing constantly the past couple of days - probably once every 3-4 hours, but I only use the good tests in the early afternoon. I have two different types of ICs - both looked almost positive last night but are far fainter this morning (maybe because I used FMU, which isn't recommended). I also took a First Response test today at the same time as the IC, and it's definitely darker than yesterday's 2pm test. Is it possible the ICs and the FR are detecting different parts of the surge? I have ONE digi left, which I'm saving to use later today - probably at the airport.
Hey all,
DH and I DTD last night, though I think now we should wait closer to O, oh well, he wanted to and I didn't want to turn him down to make him supsicous...lol....so we've had sex this week twice already (that's a lot for my poor hubs, LOL) on Sunday and then last night right when it became Thursday (just past 12 am) so far that was 7 days & 4 days out from O, I doubt anything will come of that DTDing...the plan is to pin him down for the 23rd and 24th. Since I O on Christmas Day itself, I don't want to BD on the 25th after we get home from Stafford because he'll prob be too tired...so we gotta do it Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, but Christmas morning can be tough...so hoping for the 23rd and 24th, and I may use 1/2 appliator or a fingerful of represh...still on the fence...I am trying to go with my gut feeling!
These next few days are going to be crazy gettin ready for Christmas!
