After O does your temp have to keep rising to be pg?

2bfd7d Ovulation Charts

If you look at my chart my temp took a little dip today. Does that mean I am not pg? I am only 4 DPO and already wondering. I am guessing it will slowly keep rising anyway. I only temped the last part of my cycle last month so I am not sure what to expect. Last month my temp was a lot higher by the last part of my cycle. Such a waiting game.

Christy!! I'm Nikki, one of the hosts of this board!

It's perfectly normal to have small fluctuations in temperature. It's also perfectly normal to see a dip around the time where you are. Your temps will surely start to rise again.

The dip you are having today doesn't really signify anything. You are far too early into your Luteal Phase for your temps to really suggest anything just yet aside from the fact that it looks like you have indeed O'd!

Best of Luck & Baby

ditto on EVERYTHING Nikki said, except for I am Carrie.

I am also a host and I agree.... take a look at my chart. Temps fluctuate its just important that you stay over the coverline, though you can experience a dip and still be pregnant, or not.... Everything can mean anything or nothing.... The things our body does to tease us

Thanks guys. Just looking for some hope! I know I am super early to be thinking anything. I have been ultra sensitive to everything this month. The pains that I had during O were really strong this month. Up until today I have been feeling good. Today I have a really heavy feeling in my pelvis and little pains in my right side and down low. I was really emotional today when my girls wanted me to tell them how it was when they were smaller, went through baby books and read preg. journals. I was a blubbering mess. I have an off feeling in my stomach right now too. I also have tons of white creamy CM.

I am trying not to read into anything but it's hard. I figure when I am pregnant I will know it, since it will be my 4th!

I really hope we both get our BFP this month. As I sit here typing my lower back is sore and I have an ache in my lower right side. Sort of like an ache with pulling and pinching feelings. I am nervous... I really want it to happen!! I know we all do. I wish we had have decided long ago to have our fourth. We should have went back to back, or at least tried!!! We just decided at Christmas.

Good luck Babybee!
