Temp rise/Chart Stalk..where are my Charting Champs??

Just out of curiosity... does a steady increase in temp after O a more positive sign that this cycle may be ending in pregnancy? As opposed to temps that rise and fall daily?

The logic in my head (though possibly not correct) says that rising temps after O would mean rising progesterone levels (because estrogen is the cooling hormone and progesterone in the warming hormone).....and your temp stays high with the accompanying progesterone after you become pregnant. So my logic says that a steady growth of progesterone may just be a positive sign. 

I'm really just curious to know what everyone else thinks about this..and maybe some insight from those who are temp charting champs and enlighten my knowledge on the subject. :)

I plan to test either tomorrow or wednesday at 12/13 DPO...AF is due Thursday.

Here is my Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/40af26

Maybe, maybe not.  I've had many o' different charts over time.  They used to be so similar with a drop just before my period, then all of the sudden my body changed and I wouldn't get the drop until after my period started. 

Yes, your chart looks great, but I've seen a lot of great looking charts (my own and other TTGPers) that end in a new cycle.  

I'm sorry if I didn't give you an answer you really wanted, but just keep on keeping on and test in the next few days!  Lots of luck!

Yes, a rise is a good sign, but definitely not confirmation of pregnancy.  Go ahead and test.  Nobody here can tell you that you are pregnant.  Good luck!

A steady temp rise after O does not necessarily indicate pregnancy.  However, if your temps stay high, especially getting close to the end of your normal LP, that can indicate pregnancy.  When your temp remains high, it indicates that your progesterone is not dropping off like it would if AF were to come.  Everyone is different, however.  Some won't see their AF temp drop until CD1-3, some get it a few days before AF. 

Of course, you will not know you're pregnant or not until you take a HPT.  I would say your chart looks promising, though.

Maybe, maybe not.  Your chart is triphasic.  That can be a good sign, but there have been plenty of triphasic charts that do not end in pregnancy.  Take a test if you want to know if you're pregnant.

Ya..I definitely wasn't looking for a specific answer..because obviously nobody in the world can tell me if I am pregnant... Haha! It is such a silly question to ask to a bunch of strangers over the internet. I and just new to temping and as I am on FF and looking at charts, etc...I just haven't seen such a constant rise so it got me curious...and making up theories in my head! Ha! I'm grateful for the input from those seasoned in the art of charting! 

Thanks!

You're not alone, my temp keeps going up too but I'm only 6 DPO so I know it is WAY too soon for anything. I just need to stop psyching myself out, relax and wait!

It's weird LilSip0611 (I don't know how to tag people inside a reply)..I haven't been super freaking out this cycle. Normally I am fighting the urge pretty early on as well...but I think this time I am more worried about the disappointment of the negative that I have talked myself into not testing too early. It just makes me more crazy! I am actually enjoying this 2WW.. *gasp!!!*.. Good LUCK!!!! :D

You can never tell! I had a chart that looked just like yours and got a massive drop and my period came the same day. Then on my chart when I got pregnant with DD it was really ugly! I had good temps then they dipped down low and I started spotting and I was sure AF was just around the corner and stopped temping but low and behold I ended up being pg! The only real answer is to take a test! GL and I hope you get your BFP!

This. 

Also, check out my most recent chart. It looked amazing, yet here I am today with a huge temp drop and waiting for AF.
