Default Tri-phasic BBT and negative HPT


"Ilse Witch" wrote in message

It was quite a blast (in the negative sense) to learn that a tri-phasic
BBT doesn't imply pregnancy. I've read TCYOF cover to cover, and it
doesn't say anywhere explicitly that this happens or why. I ovulated on
CD17, had a second jump in my BBT on CD26, it lasted for four days well
above (~0.3 degrees) my post-ovulation level. I tested on CD30, it was
negative. The next day BBT dropped to post-ovulation level, and AF showed
up in the evening. The day after that, BBT was back to base level.

Already before this 4 day period I felt very pregnant, and remarkably I
did not have *any* PMS symptoms this cycle. Also, I have never before seen
a tri-phasic pattern, and have very regular cycles of ~28 days, I've never
been more than 2 days late without being pregnant. Of course, it was a
dissapointment, to say the least, but I am pretty much OK now. Does anyone
have a clue about what happened? An implantation error? Early m/c? TIA!

Ilse,
I've just e-mailed you to say how disappointed I am for you. I really
thought this was going to be your cycle.

I'm not much help with the cycle stuff as I'm only an expert on my own
cycles ..... but it does seem like either the "getting back to normal post
m/c cycle" or there might have been an implantation problem.

I hate not being able to fathom exactly what is happening with me when my
cycle is not normal.
