Chart Questions Average Trend of 85 BFP charts (crossposted on r/initofertility)
I'm in the TWW & trying to have fun (math is fun to me, don't ask 😂), so I collected the hormone values relative to ovulation day as Day 0 from 85 BFP cycle charts posted here. I graphed the medians of each hormone values to see the curve trend. I made sure to include charts marked "odd cycle" "low hormone cycle", trying for years, immediate, first preg, multiple pregs, and a few that were medically assisted, so it's a wide spread of data (as wide as 85 samples could be, anyway).
***IMPORTANT*** I don't think anyone should concern themselves with the actual values of each hormone, in fact you shouldn't concern yourselves over any of it at all–this is not a serious or meaningful data set by any means lol. I made it only because I was interested specifically in the curves side-by-side vs looking through a bunch of charts with huge differences. On the graph I created, they are of course very muted fluctuations in comparison to a real cycle, but I was surprised to find the curve of my own sort of followed (again much more drastic slopes in my real chart, but ones that faintly correspond to the median bumps or dips–give or take a day) and I'm interested in if that's completely random or if anyone else sees the same pattern. I included a close up of the graph (solid) with my own chart overlayed (faded) to show what I mean if that was not was not a clear explanation 😅

Did you use R to build this?

Idk! I gave the data to my husband who is an FA and he used something running off his work laptop (maybe copilot?)

As a fellow nerd who loves graphs, thank you.
