I'm pretty sure ovulation occured on "3dpo", but doors anyone know why my bbt dropped below the cl? I thought for sure af was coming, but not yet.Any thought?

Question

Answer

Difficult to decipher because the thermal shift at 5dpo is not maintained thereafter. Do you ever chart your bbt before O? Perhaps you can compare with previous cycles.

From my own experience, I did not get a thermal shift the day after O, it was typically 2-3 days later. This is when compared to OPKs and LH strips. My LH surge lasted for about 48 hours and 2-3 days later I would get the thermal shift. Confirmed with my doc that this is normal. Definitely recommend using OPKs together with charting bbt and def try temping on cd1. Baby dust and fingers crossed this is your month!!! 🤞🏼

Answer

This is just a guess based on my years of temping, but I'd say you're only 8 dpo. It's very common to see a dip between 6-8 dpo and it doesn't mean anything.

Of course you started temping too late to say anything for certain.
