Could this be an implantation dip 6 dpo?

Question

here's my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/20a3fa

I was sick for a couple days, my temp could have been slightly elevated from that, and I'm also taking progesterone. I'm just confused about the sudden drop in temperature. Is 6 DPO too early for an implantation dip?

Anyone know if implantation dips are even real?

Answer 1

it might be!!!!

good luck!

Answer 2

Implantation dips are very real, but they don't happen for all women, and sometimes women have a dip that isn't related to implantation at all. Well, I'll just paste the info i just read about this!! =]

Here's what fertilityfriend says about it.

The term implantation dip is often used to refer to a luteal phase dip that occurs around the time of expected implantation (7-10 days past ovulation). While this pattern does not always result in pregnancy, the term is often used because of the timing of the dip and because this pattern appears with greater frequency on pregnancy charts than non-pregnancy charts. There are a couple of factors that may help to explain why this pattern appears with greater frequency on pregnancy charts.

   1. The corpus luteum (which produces the heat inducing hormone, progesterone) normally peaks in its production of progesterone and then begins to recede around the middle of the luteal phase. In conception cycles, it is "rescued" when the embryo implants and then continues to produce progesterone until the placenta can take over hormone production.

   2. Estrogen, in opposition to progesterone, has a lowering effect on temperatures. A secondary estrogen surge in the middle of the luteal phase may cause a temperature dip at this time. Indeed this may explain why this pattern also occurs on non-pregnant charts. Mid-luteal phase estrogen levels, however, have been found to be higher in conception cycles than non-conception cycles and this may also contribute to the greater frequency with which we see this pattern on pregnancy charts.

When you see a mid-luteal phase dip on your chart, however, it does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. Likewise, you do not have to see this pattern to be pregnant. As long as you have intercourse in your fertile time, you have a chance to be pregnant with any ovulation pattern.

Hope this helps!! I'm currently going through the same thing!! baby dust to you.

Answer 3

implantation dips are "mythical" however there is some charts that have a dip that result in pg and there are also charts that have a dip that dont result in pg....it is believeed to be a secondary ESTROGEN surge....and the best way to tell if you are in fact pg is to wait it out. start testing at 8-9 dpo :) if your a poasaholic lol and hope for the + if thats what it is you are seeking :)

good luck

Answer 4

Hope this the month for u Good luck!  

Answer 5

I'm definitely hoping the best for ya. I checked out your previous month's chart though, and there was a dip at 6dpo on that chart as well. I'm hoping that this month's dip IS implantation for ya!

Best of luck on a BFP.
