temp and o

[rudyk74]

okay just wondering what you guys think, do you o the day before your temp spike, or do you o in the temp dip tou get a few days before the spike? i always thought it was the after the spike regardless of what the temp was, but im also hearing from a girl at work that its the day your temp dips thought you guys had some input, ill belive you over her anyway

Hi there: Generally speaking you O the day before your temp rise... now sometimes women do get a dip down on the day they ovulate, but usually this coincides with the day before the temp rise. So, you could have temps that look like this:

cd 9 97.4
cd 10 97.3
cd 11 97.5
cd 12 97.2
cd 13 97.4
cd 14 97.0
cd 15 97.9

In this case there was a temp dip down on cd 14 and a temp rise on cd 15, so O was on cd 14.

HOWEVER! Some women (me included) don't get temp dips before O; only rises.

So for me a typical pattern could look like this:

cd 9 97.5
cd 10 97.4
cd 11 97.6
cd 12 97.1
cd 13 97.4
cd 14 97.5
cd 15 98.1

In this case, my temp on cd 14 was actually higher than my temp on cd 13 (and the only temp dip was on cd 12), but still not higher than my previous 6 temps because it was the same as my temp on cd 9 (i.e., 97.5). But I had a temp rise on cd 15 and so my O would be on cd 14, with a coverline of 97.6.

Hope that helps!

++++++++++++++++good luck

beautifully said maura! and what perfect examples

i am a dipper! i usually hit a monthly temping low the day of O, the day before my rise. usually after a few mos of temping, you'll begin to see a definitive pattern to your charts.

thank you guys for all the input you girls are GREAT

well temps have stayed up and went up, only 1/10 degree since the jump 3 days ago, so hopefully im in my 2ww....funny that you would hope for that, so any suggestions on what to look for on pogest tests having one today on day 21 and then again 7 days past o. any idea on what i should WANT the numbers to be? and if they are really high is that an indicator of pg?

just here patting my back on my o on the first round of clomid, not bad eh...like i had any control over it though! bye for now

you girls keep up the good work, its not gone unnoticed
