Ok you guys are the experts. SOS! HELP! I AM SO CONFUSED!

I was disecting my chart today and i was thinkin you know what...maybe the dip on 5 DPO wasnt an inplantation dip...but maybe the dip on 7DPO was? Here is my thinking:

the 7 DPO dip was more significant and it was after that point that my temps REALLY started rising. Does that make sense?

If implantation dip was on 7 DPO and today is 11 DPO then it would be to early. I mean now I am a novice at all this but if a typical HCG is like around 2 to 4 and double every two days after implantation...is that right?....then it would be like this:

7-DPO (possible implantation) HCG approx = 2 to 4
9-DPO HCG approx.= 4 to 8
11-DPO HCG approx.=8 to 16
13-DPO HCG approx. = 16 to 32

So would it be impossible to assume that today I would get a BFN? Now if I did implant on 5 DPO then my whole theory would be a bust because it would look like this:

5-DPO HCG approx. 2 to 4
7 DPO HCG approx. 4 to 8
9 DPO HCG approx 8 to 16
11 DPO HCG approx 16 to 32 (today with a NEGATIVE)

So here are my questions.
1. What is the typical HCG in a non pregnant person? What is the typical doubling rate?

2. Look at my chart and see what you think about 5 dpo and 7 dpo... CLICK HERE FOR FF CHART

3. Am I crazy and just wishing too hard?

This is my first month charting so I am still new to all of this. How long are your cycles normally?

From my understanding, 5dpo is a bit early for implantation dip, so it is still very possible to get a BFN at 11dpo. Wait a few more days and try again.

I'm a beginner on charting too, but hCG levels---Anything less than 5 is considered not pregnant. They "typically" can double every 48 hours, but doubling every 72 hours is perfectly acceptable.
And just a side note, when I was pregnant with my daughter I had a negative blood test at 13 DPO and it was 17 DPO when I got a positive POAS test.
Good luck!

I'm not 100% sure of your O date because of your chart--but keep in mind that not everyone has an implantation dip.

Other wise, I hope that's what it is, and I hope that you get a BFP very soon!!! Good luck!
