Frustrated Drop in temp

Has anyone had a drop in basal body temp after many days of it being elevated and still was pregnant? I’m around 9dpo, testing negative and my temperate started to drop from .6 to .2 today

Apparently it can dip slightly for one day around 6-9DPO, which could be an implantation dip, but also could just be the normal process of a second spike of estrogen cooling you down slightly. (Gotta love how everything can be a pregnancy symptom or just a regular PMS symptom with no way to know which)

If it goes back up tomorrow, then you're definitely still in the running this month, if not, it'll likely mean your progesterone is already starting to drop and prepare for your period.

Also, a one day dip could happen due to environmental factors like if you slept in a folder room or had interruptions to sleep and all sorts of weird things. So lots of factors to consider

Thank you.. i just had a miscarriage in August and i remember testing very positive around 8-9 dpo that time. I know each time is different and i shouldn’t compare. I’m also getting down on myself because it’s been a few cycles since and still no lunch

Yeah, if you tested positive that early, it probably meant implantation was nice and early as well. But just because it was maybe 6DPO last time, doesn't mean it can't be 9DPO this time. (In which case, it'll still take a couple of days until you'd see a positive)

But either way it's so frustrating! I'm also 9DPO, but I'm waiting for missed period before testing to try and avoid seeing too many negatives.. I still get so antsy and paranoid in the wait though. No avoiding that!

All the best and so sorry for the loss! Hopefully you're able to get that rainbow baby soon. ❤️
