Implantation Dips

I am a mother of 3 gorgeous girls and are TTC. I have never tracked anything before so this is all new to me. I just let the others just happen. Recently I have heard of the implantation dip and was wondering if that is what im going through right now. My temp drop 1 degree yesterday then jumped right back up this morning. I am also having some cramping. If someone could take a look at my chart and tell me what they think it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and good luck to everyone who is TTC!!!

No I'm not prego. I've been trying for the last 3-4 months. I have one 4 yr old. I've read you can take a pregnancy test 10-12 days after ovulation. But it just depends on how much horomone you have in you in order to get that positive and the sensitivity of your test. They usually say to wait until you've missed your period, but it's hard to wait lol.

I'm pretty new to charting especially BBT charting. You may want to add when your AF was so you can compare that as well. I found this on about.com: Fertility web site regarding implantation dips, interesting read, hope it helps:

An implantation dip is a one-day drop in temperature on a basal body temperature chart, occurring about one week after ovulation. The dip appears during the luteal phase, the time between ovulation and your expected period. Implantation of the embryo usually occurs between days 7 and 11 of the luteal phase, and this is why some people attribute this sudden one-day dip in temperature to implantation.

The dip in temperature may just be slightly lower than the rest of the post-ovulation temperatures, or it may even dip below the “cover line” on a fertility chart. (The cover line is an arbitrary line that the temperatures on average were below before ovulation, but appear on average above after ovulation.)

I actually get a small “dip” on my chart almost every month on day 7 or 8 post-ovulation, and I know other women who also show “implantation dips” on their charts month after month – but they are not pregnant.

The funniest thing about implantation dips? The one month I was charting and did get pregnant, I actually did not show an implantation dip.
