temp drop - is af coming?

temp drop - is af coming?

I wonder if anyone could help me.  I am on cd25 and 10dpo and today and yesterday my temp dropped by 0.06c and today by another 0.6... The first drop I thought was due to implantation but it's now two drops!  My af is due on cd29.  My temps are still way above my coverline but they are going wrong way.  I am confused because my estrogen levels dropped two days ago and are now at the highest ever this cycle today.  And last month before af they were at lowest.. can anyone shed some light?   Did anyone elses temp drop at this stage for couple days, when they were pregnant,  and then go back up or as long as it doesn't drop below coverline does it have to go back up?  I told myself I wouldn't do this analysing but I am so frustrated and worried that my af is coming again... :(

It's really hard to say, unfortunately!  Temps are not able to be 'read' on daily basis really - you need to just watch pattern or trend!  But as long as they are above the coverline, there is still a chance!

Estrogen varies in a normal cycle and will go down after ovulation and then start to rise, so it really isn't much help for analysis.

Try to just be good to yourself and relax -- it's out of your hands now! :)  I hope that this is your month!  SSBD!! =)

Many thanks... It's so hard to relax when so desperate to have a wee one isn't it.. but I will try. I will just see how temp goes over next four days- af due on sat so I guess there's still a chance they stay above coverline and change direction.

I completely understand!  I temped for many months and now that I have an idea of what it should be, I don't do it every day to try to reduce my stress! :)

As long as they are above the coverline, there's a chance (and really, I've even heard of women having it drop below the coverline and then back up again and getting BFPs). So, it really is more about the trends! :)

Ah yes I just looked at some ovulation charts on fertility friend that went on to pregnancy and they had a few dips and then rises and dips again etc so I am glad to see that is normal and that hope is still there.  I know I am way too analytical..but after losing my baby I am desperate to be pregnant and can't seem to just sit back and wait for af to come or not.. although I know that would be the best thing to do.. so frustrating but I know so many in same boat .. such is life.. what will be will be.  Thankyou for your replies and advice, much appreciated.
