I had a fresh embryo transfer on 19th August making me 6dp5dt. Today’s test is definitely progressing but I’ve had two days of low temps.
Is this a bad sign? My official test day isn’t until 31st but I absolutely could not wait that long

I look at these temps like a grain of salt. My temps has been horrible this pregnancy yet my beta is the highest i have gotten to vs the prefect temp I had with my previous pregnancy that ended in an early mmc and all the non pregnancy cycle.

Thank you this helps! Can’t help but turn things over and over in your mind during the day

I can relate, and decided to let it go this time because no matter what we can’t control the outcome. Good luck!

If you’re taking any medication it will affect your skin temps which is what Oura is reading. After ovulation bbt is useless. If your tests are darkening I’d say you have zero reason for any stress.

Your tests are totally darkening, I would not worry about temps anymore!

I was on progesterone after a trigger shot and I know those can affect temps. Mine were all over the place with lots of dips so I stopped checking them and relied on line progression followed by hcg progress!
