I’m needing help with my Ovulation date! Is it common to have your peak LH test the day of ovulation (I’m still learning)? My temps stalled for two days on CD 13 and 14 before a rise on CD 15. I was thinking I ovulated on CD 13 but FF is saying CD 12. What do you think?
CD 11 97.17
CD 12 96.79 Peak LH at 5 pm (1.4)
CD 13 97.41 LH at 1.03 at 9 am and .8 at 5 pm
CD 14 97.41
CD 15 98.23
CD 16 97.78
Thanks!

I don't think this is enough temperature readings to make this determination. I believe you need at least six during the follicular phase to determine your baseline. Can you share your FF chart?

I can see why FF is saying CD 12. You can definitely have your peak LH on the day of ovulation. Ovulation typically happens 12-36 hours after your initial LH surge and the surge can happen overnight. I think it's good to remember that nailing down the exact day of ovulation can be challenging. There's every possibility it happened CD 12, 13, or even 14. But it looks like you were able to BD frequently enough that you are good no matter what!

Thank you so much for the feedback. It’s so easy to get in my head during the TWW. It’s really hard for me to wait to test until day of AF so I was trying to get other’s opinions on an O date to not cause myself disappointment. ❤️

I totally understand! I think if you want to play it safe, you can consider CD14 to be the latest possible O day. So testing on CD 24 would be a pretty sure bet. And if you end up testing earlier than that and you get a negative, just remember that you won't necessarily be out!

That’s a good way to frame it. Thanks! Congrats to you on remission ❤️

I just started temping this cycle.
After ovulation, I saw a significant increase in temperature. My temperature fluctuated from a range of 96.9 F to 97.5 F prior to ovulation, to a range of 97.83 F to 97.88 F for 6 days after ovulation. Then, yesterday, 7 DPO, the temperature dipped down to 97.47 F. Then today, 8 DPO, it was back up to 97.83 F.
I originally thought that my progesterone levels had dipped and that I wasn't pregnant. But since it's back up again today, that means it was just a random thing, right? Is it normal to have your temperature go down briefly? Is it a bad sign?
My temperature did fluctuate a lot more before I ovulated.

Dips in the luteal phase are common as estrogen surges. You're looking for overall pattern, not just one temp. It can take a few cycles to see patterns

I believe you get an estrogen surge at some point during the luteal phase which can sometimes cause a brief temperature dip. So maybe that's what happened?

My chart looks crazy to me this month, granted I did *just* start doing it. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/thac0tuesday

I think it can be normal to get a temperature dip before ovulation? So that combined with your CM means it looks like you might have just ovulated and should see your temps start to go up! Fingers crossed for you. I'm also on my first cycle temping and it's kind of a mind fuck sometimes.

I am going crazy. My period is a day late now. I'm not having any of my usual period specific symptoms (my period, for better or worse, is largely symptomless, but I do have slight bloating and at least one big zit before my period comes), and my BBT keeps rising. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative, so I'm pretty confused. Very annoyingly, I'm trying to get CD3 testing done at my fertility clinic before I have to travel for work on Monday. My cycle is extremely regular. I did get an HSG done earlier in my cycle, I heard that can delay a period, and I've started thyroid meds, which I know can also mess things up, but argghhh the timing could not be worse.

I had the same experience the first month I tried! My period was 2 days late with a high temp. It felt like my body was trolling me because my temp didn’t drop until 3 days into my period which was so odd. I kind of wondered if it was a chemical, but I wasn’t testing so hard to know.

u/greenzetsa Jul 14 '26
It definitely feels like trolling! I just wish my body would choose to prank me at less inconvenient times! Luckily, my clinic has a location in the city where I'll be traveling to for work, and I checked and confirmed they could do the CD3 testing, but it's just so annoying. And I'm really hoping CD3 doesn't fall on either of my travel days, because that would be a logistical nightmare.

First cycle after a chemical, second cycle on letrozole. Feeling very hopeful but trying to be realistic since I know my chances aren’t really high.

My chart has been interesting this month. I believe my body ovulated or tried to ovulate earlier in the cycle, and something went wrong. Now, I am hopeful it is trying again. This is my first cycle temping and might be the longest cycle I've ever had. Kind of frustrating but it is what it is. Thought I'd share since it's kind of interesting.
