Temp dips in luteal phase

I O'ed on the 17th and my temps looked good until 6dpo when it went below the coverline.  Then they went right back up and yesterday morning it went below the coverline again.  Today when I took my temp it went up again.  Does anyone know why this would happen?  I take my temp at the same exact time everyday but I don't sleep very well at night.  I wake up at all hours and usually don't get 3 hours of consecutive sleep.  I'm thinking that could be a big part of it but my temps are pretty consistant (usually only .2 degrees off from one another).  Could the Clomid be affecting my temps?  I've been cramping off and on for a couple of days.  There's no pain but I do feel like I do before AF comes.  I want to wait a few more days before testing to see if AF comes or not (today is 14dpo).  Here's a link to my chart.

The dip at 6 dpo could be an implantation dip...although, I've had "implantation dips" before in cycles that were BFN. As for yesterday's temp, it could be AF on her way, or it could just be a random low temperature. That does happen sometimes. Since your temperature today was above the coverline, but not as high as earlier in the 2WW, I think it all depends on your temp tomorrow. If it goes back up to a higher level, I'd say you still have a pretty good chance this month. Best of luck to you!!!

The key word to taking BBT is CONSISTENCY, and you also need 4-5 hours of uninterupted sleep to get a good graph. The whole purpose of a BBT is to get a temp while your body is at a RESTING state.If you look at my graph, there was days i took my temp at different times of the day and some days i didnt get enough sleep or was waking up off and on. You can tell by my graph. This last cycle i made sure i got enough sleep and you can see the graph is perfect.

Im not sure about if clomid alter your temps like that or not. I think its because your not getting enough sleep.

SSBD, Good Luck
