Implantation Dip
Do you have to see one on your chart in order to be pregnant? And about what DPO would it occur

Re: Implantation Dip
I don't think you need to see an implantation dip in order to be pregnant, but if you have one, it would occur between 7-10 DPO. HTH

Re: Implantation Dip
not everyone gets this, so no your chart doesn't HAVE to have one if you are pregnant.

From about.com
"An implantation dip is a one-day drop in temperature on a basal body temperature chart, occurring about one week after ovulation. The dip appears during the luteal phase, the time between ovulation and your expected period. Implantation of the embryo usually occurs between days 7 and 11 of the luteal phase, and this is why some people attribute this sudden one-day dip in temperature to implantation.
The dip in temperature may just be slightly lower than the rest of the post-ovulation temperatures, or it may even dip below the “cover line” on a fertility chart. (The cover line is an arbitrary line that the temperatures on average were below before ovulation, but appear on average above after ovulation.)"
It also goes on to say that a dip doesn't necessarily mean that you are pregnant and that no dip doesn't necessarily mean that you are not.
HTH!

Re: Implantation Dip
A bit more info from fertiltiyfriend.com
"What causes an "implantation dip?"
The term implantation dip is often used to refer to a luteal phase dip that occurs around the time of expected implantation (7-10 days past ovulation). While this pattern does not always result in pregnancy, the term is often used because of the timing of the dip and because this pattern appears with greater frequency on pregnancy charts than non-pregnancy charts. There are a couple of factors that may help to explain why this pattern appears with greater frequency on pregnancy charts.
1. The corpus luteum (which produces the heat inducing hormone, progesterone) normally peaks in its production of progesterone and then begins to recede around the middle of the luteal phase. In conception cycles, it is "rescued" when the embryo implants and then continues to produce progesterone until the placenta can take over hormone production.
2. Estrogen, in opposition to progesterone, has a lowering effect on temperatures. A secondary estrogen surge in the middle of the luteal phase may cause a temperature dip at this time. Indeed this may explain why this pattern also occurs on non-pregnant charts. Mid-luteal phase estrogen levels, however, have been found to be higher in conception cycles than non-conception cycles and this may also contribute to the greater frequency with which we see this pattern on pregnancy charts.
When you see a mid-luteal phase dip on your chart, however, it does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. Likewise, you do not have to see this pattern to be pregnant. As long as you have intercourse in your fertile time, you have a chance to be pregnant with any ovulation pattern. "

Re: Implantation Dip
So I thought I had an amazing implantation dip this month...but then I started spotting today (AF is due tomorrow)  . I would like to post my chart to see what you ladies think. I think it is too late in my cycle to be implentation bleeding. How do you post a chart again? I cant figure out where to copy the URL from on FF.

Re: Implantation Dip
FYI - I have a dip EVERY month that I temp! Don't know why but I really think it depends on your body.
