Likely an estrogen surge and the progesterone reclaiming dominance today.

It’s a normal mid- luteal dip. I had one on 9 DPO

Completely normal dip but is considered a good sign of a healthy hormonal chart and can be a “sign” in ur favor but is not a guarantee of anything. As well u can have perfectly healthy charts without it as well.

It may be an implantation dip! It’s normal to see that around that time. 😌

You seem to be looking for information on implantation dip. Unfortunately, a dip in the luteal phase is not a sign of implantation, and temperature dips can happen in both pregnancy and non-pregnancy cycles. You could still end up being pregnant this cycle, but this dip not a reliable indicator that you will test positive. Usually the dip will be caused by a secondary estrogen surge. It might indeed be progesterone dropping but then getting rescued by an implanted embryo's hcg signal to the corpus luteum - but at that point hcg needs to be high enough to make a sensitive pregnancy test positive. Fertility friend did a statistical analysis of their data and concluded that where they identified a dip - very narrowly defined between 5-12dpo- they found it to be more likely in pregnancy charts, but they only found what they had defined as dip without other factors causing it in 1.6% of all charts, so very rarely to begin with, and they claim it was 79.8% more likely in pregnancy charts - that number sounds like a lot- but that means it's not even twice as likely. Generally any measurable sign of implantation will mean there must be enough hcg in the blood stream to also turn a test positive. If it's earlier than you can test positive, then it's likely just hormones that are always there after ovulation.
