Does this show a luteal phase defect?

Question

My chart is not only all over the place but it seems like the levels slowly rise after O and slowly descend before my period. Due for AF tomorrow. First month tracking and I’ve found it so frustrating to interpret

Answer

This is a very normal chart, there’s no obvious defect here. It’s also common and normal for your temp to drop around the time of your period.
To help with getting more stable temps, be sure to take it at the same time every day, after a consistent amount of sleep. Also be sure that you don’t alter the way that you temp, such as switching sides of your mouth. Temp the exact same way each day.

Answer

After ovulation, progesterone rises which also causes your temp to go up, as you may know
Dips in the luteal phase are common as they’re caused by surges of estrogen
I believe your AF is coming as your temp is dropping, because your temp does drop before AF comes as progesterone slows production, usually you’ll see a decline starting at around 10-11 dpo

Answer

It doesn’t mean anything. Test soon tho!
