out? I know i oed from the pain that i had that was doubling me over
for just a few seconds. and then my temps went up the next day

Helen and Alikat gave you great advice~You are most definitely still in the game.
Here are some thoughts that might help explain it: Do you chart within the same hour time span every morning?  Was there any change in things you consume: Alcohol, vitamins and medications can cause dips or a rise.  Even stress or Sleep disturbances can cause dips or a rise.  These are specifics that you want to chart as well.  Even if they don't seem to effect your temp.  After a few charts you'll start to see; "Oh, when I sleep badly my temps always drop" or "Oh, temping two hours later in the morning always rises my temp by .2"  etc.  You don't have to worry about any of this, it's just good to note so that you can begin to determine your patter and so that you won't worry in the future!  It would be more a worry if your temp shot down and stayed down there for a few days.  And I doubt that will happen.  So, Good luck and welcome to the tww!

i just read that there is something called a "fallback temp" that happens to some women 2-3 days after O and means nothing.  it should go back up.

At 3 dpo it's probably a random fluctuation especially since your BBT went back up.  I hope your temps stay up!!!

i'm not sure, i hope someone answers you, i have questions about charting as well.  it sounds too early to count that dip as counting you out, maybe it will go back up?  good luck, i hope you get some answers soon.
