This is my first month with charting - I am kicking myself for not starting it sooner. It has helped my understand ovulation so much more.

Anyway, my temp lowered on 5 dpo and I had some intense cramps that day. They were really low and intense enough for me to say something to my husband each time I felt them. Would that be too early for implantation? If not, I don't know why I would have cramps that soon.

Also my temps keep rising. But since I am new to this I don't know if this is normal. So my question is: how many days before your period do you all see your temps dropping?

My cycles have been between 30-33 days lately. So I may still have a few more days before the temps start dropping. Unless... I"m pregnant!! But I don't want to get my hopes up, too many BFN's the last 7 months!

Thanks for reading!

Just wanted to wish you lots of luck , as this is my first month too so I really can't answer Hope you get that BFP real soon!! Sending some BABY DUST your way!!

yeah, good luck!!!. Now I asked the same exact question when I first started. I am on my second month. Look at my chart....that will sort of tell you an idea of what happens when AF hits.

but not everyone is the same. Some girls get one big drop in temp the day AF shows. Other will get a couple days of slow decreasing temps. Your chart looks good.

Thanks ladies! I am so glad I found this site. None of my friends are trying right now, so nobody wants to get excited about temp rises and cervical mucus! It's nice to talk to others who are going through the same thing!

I hope we all get our BFP's this time around!

Thanks so much!!! My husband won't let me test until Thursday, actually he said Friday but I'm still testing on Thursday. He is in medical school, which means we are poor right now. He doesn't want me to keep buying tests only to get BFN.

So if AF doesn't show I will be testing on Thursday. Thanks for the encouragment!! You guys are awesome!

Your chart looks awesome!!!!! It's hard to say when your temps will drop before AF if this is your first cycle charting. If you are a testing addict like me, you should buy your tests online. You can get them really cheap (less than a $1 a test) and test every day that way.
