and 8 dpo... my temps are going UP..do they go UP when you are getting your period?? they just keep climbing.

Re: so... in the 2 WW

Do they normally go up up and up for you in the 2ww?

You could have the start of triphasic chart, which could mean pg, or nothing.
I had triphasic charts for pg.



Good Luck

Re: so... in the 2 WW

i have a good feeling this month! but this is my first month temping so i have nothing to compare too.. what do you mean by triphasic chart and do people usually get this when they are pregnant??? TIA

Re: so... in the 2 WW

What is a triphasic chart pattern? Does it mean I am pregnant if I have a triphasic chart pattern? Do I have to have a triphasic chart to be pregnant?


A triphasic chart shows three levels of temperatures: pre-ovulation, post-ovulation, and then a second rise around 7-10 days after ovulation. Some women with charts that show this pattern turn out to be pregnant. But many do not. Likewise, your chart does not need to show this kind of pattern for you to be pregnant. Whether or not you are pregnant, progesterone, the hormone responsible for raising your temperature after ovulation, generally peaks in the middle of your luteal phase and this can cause this kind of pattern whether or not you are pregnant.

A triphasic chart can be promising, however, because progesterone levels generally increase after implantation (7-10 days past ovulation) in conception cycles, and sometimes this results in a triphasic pattern. A triphasic chart, however, is not a definite sign that you are or are not pregnant. It is just increasing your probability if you also have well-timed intercourse. Likewise, you can be pregnant and not have a triphasic pattern. Like all signs of possible implantation or pregnancy, you can really only speculate about it once a pregnancy has already been confirmed.
