when do you usually get a temp shift?

[linz]

This is my 2nd cycle using FF. Just curious when everyone else usually sees a the temp shift meaning they ovulate. Is it typically the same month to month or could it be different all the time?

[magpie]

It depends. I stopped taking the pill, so it took a few cycles to adjust. For the last two cycles, the shift happened on day 20 or 21. Even then, you need to temp several days after the first temperature shift to see if you really did o (as opposed to having a one day wonky temperature). I have a longish cycle at 34 days, so mine is probably a little later than most people. Charting takes time to make any sense of the data though. Temp and wait a few cycles to see what happens.

Mine varies from month to month based on when I O. I O anywhere from CD11-CD16 (usually CD13-15).

I typically ovulate between CD11 and CD14, and one month I ovulated on CD17. This month seems to still be up in the air. I think I have a bit of a slow rise pattern though, so it takes FF 4-5 days after I ovulate to give me crosshairs.

Not sure yet - I've only charted for 1 month. Sounds like it's normal to move around a bit.

[vmars]

the last 2 cycles were between CD18 & CD19 but not sure whats the norm since I just stopped BC.

My temp shift is usually between CD17 and CD19; I usually ovulate between CD16 and CD18.

It can take a while to regulate.
Eventually it should become pretty close, but it'll never be clockwork. My cycle is extremely regular, where in general every 3 or 4 cycles it's a day early and the month after it's a day late, but in between and on average it's always CD13.
That said last cycle I suddenly O'd on CD16, definitely not normal for me, but I'd traveled and there was New Years and stuff, so the change didn't surprise me that much. We just kept having sex until I saw the temp shift.

But from what I've heard and read it can take a year to regulate, no proble (depending on how regular you was before BCP and how long you were on it.)

[picksthemusic]

Either the morning after day of O or the next day is a clear shift in my temp. Kind of depends, though.

It changes month to month.

If you just stopped taking BC it could take a while (my cycles were normal for the first 3 months then wonky for about 9 months) to regulate.
