Question about bbt charting

[Trishy74]

I started charting for my first time this cycle. I understand that day of ovulation, body temp spikes but is not noticeable until after the spike that ovulation has occurred. However, I spiked on Sunday or Monday and spiked again yesterday morning which according to fertility friend, I ovulated on Saturday last weekend. I believe I ovulated Sunday into Saturday morn bc I had bad pains Monday morning in left ovary and got pos opk on Friday night and my lh surge usually lasts 2 full nights. With that said, my spike yesterday jumped a lot and another .5 this morning. I also have sore breasts and had creamy cm yesterday and day before and my sense of smell is wicked yesterday and today. So just wondering, does a bbt which keeps rising each day at 5dpo mean anything as far as pregnancy? I also had a burning sensation backache for 2 days after ovulation which lasted for 2 days. It reminded me if a backache pain I had during pregnancy with my son in the first tri but I would think that's just too early to have anything to do with implantation. Although it was on my left side where I ovulated from this month. Just curious to hear opinions on bbt charting. I was like 97.80 on Friday and woke 98.35 Saturday and today 98.40. So weird to me how the body works!

do you have a chart link?
a second shift can be a sign of pregnancy - it's called a triphasic chart. It could also mean you're starting to come down with a bug (depending how big the jump is)

Symptoms at 5 DPO are pretty much impossible for natural conceptions, so one of two things may have occured.

Fristly you just had a nice strong O with a big strong corpus luteum that cranked out a lot of progesterone very quick and made it feel like you are preggo. Secondly, you may have have Oed earlier than you thought and could be 7-10 DPO and you can start having symptoms at that point.

YES once you start to have temps that rise and rise and rise that is a good sign of pregnancy, but again that is not something that happens at 5DPO.

Re O pain, you can have O pain before, during and after O, sometimes for days afterwards so you can't use that as any kind of judge.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I had a feeling it was too early for implantation but with such a strong sense if smell and my breasts hurting I thought maybe it was a good sign. I know according to fertility friend, it is saying I ovulated on Saturday. Could ovulation occur so soon after a pos opk the night before? I am going to try to attemp to put a link to my ff chart. I was thinking maybe I'm a slow riser for temps after I first looked at the ovulation temps.

It sounds promising Trishy74. I also think 5 DPO can't produce preg symptoms, just progesterone symptoms. I had a cycle last year that I could promise I was pregnant, had nausea from 2 DPO, enough to make me run to the bathroom, but ended up not being preg at all! I wouldn't read too much into it until 10 DPO. I tried to open your chart but it opens my own FF chart, are you sure that's the right link? Find the share option under the chart and they will provide you with the right link. Good luck!

Hi aidsnsmum, thank you soon much for telling me how to fix the link. I had no idea how to do it correctly. Appreciate your help. I know it sounds promising but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. I know when I conceived my son, i had sytoms of dizziness and nausea 7 dpo and 9 nights from dtd. Lol. I am putting the correct link into this post. It's crazy how the body can play with our mind although we feel the things we do. Thanks again for putting me in the right direction with posting my chart. Appreciate it.

I know this is late, but I think its possible you *might* only be 3dpo. Its hard to say with all the open circles, but you generally don't have drops like that after you ovulate. At least not so quickly after O. Good luck!

I think your OV date is pretty certain based on your chart, and FF has no doubts...
it is actually possible to get preg symptoms at 5dpo - that is the earliest an egg can implant and if you are particularly sensitive to hormone changes the tiny amount of hcg produced might be enough to cause a few small ones...but most "early pregnancy symptoms" are actually just caused by increase in progesterone caused after OV - such as bloating, nausea, etc.

I think the chart looks promising

Greeneyes I just did a search online bc I wasn't sure what those open circled meant. It basically said they are there bc I entered something on my chart which makes those temps somewhat unreliable or I entered sleep deprived for that night which I know I did bc I had broken sleep a couple of nights. Also it said it could produce the open circles if time temp was taken was different. Such as today bc my dog woke me during the night so I slept a bit later and took temp a bit later. I find after I ovulate I have a hard time staying asleep. Thanks for pointing out those open circles. I was wondering yesterday as well what they mean.
