Information on temperatures

[iwannabeamum]

Hi :wave:

Just a question I couldn't find an answer for (I had a look but not that good finding my way round here yet!)

I know (well think I know he he) that just before you ovulate your temp can drop a bit. Then as you ovulate it goes up.

Can you tell me what happens then? I feel like I read somewhere that if you did not concieve then the temp would make it's way back down, but if you did it would stay up??

Can anyone clarify this for me please?

Cheers

Yes thats right.
it will stay elevated if you are pregnant.
It will return to normal if you didnt.
But it is not fool proof as some womens temp drop and they are still Pregnant.

It usually drops the day AF arrives.

If you are pregnant you are advised to stop temping after you know as it is unrelaible and alot of women read too much into it.

What is a triphasic chart pattern? Does it mean I am pregnant if I have a triphasic chart pattern? Do I have to have a triphasic chart to be pregnant?
A triphasic chart shows three levels of temperatures: pre-ovulation, post-ovulation, and then a second rise around 7-10 days after ovulation. Some women with charts that show this pattern turn out to be pregnant. But many do not. Likewise, your chart does not need to show this kind of pattern for you to be pregnant. Whether or not you are pregnant, progesterone, the hormone responsible for raising your temperature after ovulation, generally peaks in the middle of your luteal phase and this can cause this kind of pattern whether or not you are pregnant.
A triphasic chart can be promising, however, because progesterone levels generally increase after implantation (7-10 days past ovulation) in conception cycles, and sometimes this results in a triphasic pattern. If your chart shows a second significant thermal shift that begins 7-10 days past ovulation, Fertility Friend will indicate a triphasic pattern in the Pregnancy Monitor. A triphasic chart, however, is not a definite sign that you are or are not pregnant. It is just increasing your probability if you also have well-timed intercourse. Likewise, you can be pregnant and not have a triphasic pattern. Like all signs of possible implantation or pregnancy, you can really only speculate about it once a pregnancy has already been confirmed.
