Dip in BBT

[jeninky30]

This is my first month charting.  I am on cd 9.  According to CM, I seem to be close to O.  My Bbt has been between 97.4 and 97.7.  Yesterday it dropped to 97.14 and today 97.27.  Could this be a temp dip before O?  If so, today has been the first day of "fertile CM.". I am just a little confused by the temp dip though.

Well AF showed up today. But I found out that my hormone levels are out of wack because of how recently we stopped BC, so the doctor suggested waiting a few months to see if they will straighten out on its own.  He said that if I did get pregnant right now, then my hormones probably would not allow me to sustain a pregnancy.  So I guess it's actually a good thing that AF came.

Heather, I thought that CD9 seemed early too but this is my first cycle after Mirena, so I figured that my body is still adjusting to a lack of hormones. Lemenna, my period was shorter than I expected it to be since every one else has reported such a long recovery from the effects of the Mirena.  Since I am so new to charting, I have been using the trackers on MedHelp along with my NFP charts.  My Cycle app on iPhone shows this week as fertile with my expected O date on Thursday or Friday.  So far my charting evidence seems to indicate that it would be pretty accurate, but my temp was even lower today, going to 96.98.  I can't think of any disturbances that would cause that, so  I guess since this is my first cycle, its going to be hard to figure out what is "normal" for me.

I just went back and looked at my chart and I had 11 days of a period and my dip was on day 11 with ovulation on day 13.  Very strange but that is what I had so if your period was shorter it is possible!

CD 9 seems a little early....but it is possible. Like Lemenna suggested, I would start BD'ing now, especially since you also have fertile cervical mucus (that's always a good sign). Best of luck this month!

I just started temping again as this is my first month back to trying for baby #4.  I am at 7dpo and can tell you that I did get a dip a couple days before ovulation this time.  I also have had a triphasic chart, so hoping that is a good sign as well.  I know from reading that not everyone gets the dip right before ovulation, but that it does happen for some.  I would take it as a good sign and start doing the baby dance!  Good luck to you!
