Is the seventh day after ovulation the time for implantation?

The last menstrual period was from January 7 to January 13.

1/17 - 36.281
1/18 - 36.09 (a positive ovulation test was observed at 9 PM)
1/19 - 36.09 (the second line on the test became slightly fainter at midnight, not very noticeable; a visit to the obstetrician at 9 AM showed ovulation via transvaginal ultrasound)
1/20 - 36.08

First question: Is it possible that implantation occurred on January 25?
Second question: If the temperature does not rise after implantation, does that mean pregnancy is unlikely?
Third question: Can taking progesterone before bed cause dizziness and nausea during the day? Thank you for your response, doctor.

More Info

Implantation typically occurs about 6 to 10 days after ovulation, which means that Day Seven Post-Ovulation (DPO) can indeed be a time when implantation may begin. In your case, if ovulation was confirmed on January 19, then Day Seven would fall on January 26. This timing aligns well with the general understanding of the implantation window.

Answer to Your Questions:
1. Is January 25 a Possible Implantation Date?
- Yes, January 25 could be a possible date for implantation, especially if ovulation occurred on January 19. Implantation can happen as early as 6 days post-ovulation, which would be January 25 in your case. However, it is important to note that while implantation can occur around this time, it is not guaranteed. The embryo must travel down the fallopian tube and reach the uterus, where it can implant into the uterine lining.

2. If Body Temperature Does Not Rise After Implantation, Could It Mean No Pregnancy?
- A rise in basal body temperature (BBT) is often associated with the presence of progesterone, which is produced after ovulation and maintained if pregnancy occurs. However, not all women experience a significant rise in temperature after implantation. Some may see fluctuations or even a slight drop in temperature. Therefore, while a sustained rise in BBT can indicate pregnancy, a lack of a significant increase does not definitively mean that pregnancy has not occurred. It is best to wait for a missed period or take a pregnancy test for confirmation.

3. Can Taking Progesterone at Night Cause Dizziness or Nausea During the Day?
- Yes, taking progesterone, especially in the form of sublingual tablets, can lead to side effects such as dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and mood changes. These side effects can vary from person to person and may be more pronounced depending on the dosage and individual sensitivity to the hormone. If you are experiencing significant discomfort, it is advisable to discuss this with your healthcare provider, who may adjust your dosage or suggest alternative forms of progesterone.

Additional Considerations:
- Monitoring Symptoms: Keep track of any other symptoms you may experience, such as breast tenderness, changes in appetite, or mood swings, as these can also provide clues about your hormonal status and potential pregnancy.

- Pregnancy Testing: If you suspect you might be pregnant, consider taking a home pregnancy test after your expected period date for the most accurate result. Home pregnancy tests are designed to detect the hormone hCG, which is produced after implantation.

- Consulting Your Doctor: If you have concerns about your symptoms or the effects of progesterone, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current treatment plan.

In summary, Day Seven Post-Ovulation can indeed be a time for implantation, and while fluctuations in body temperature and side effects from medications can be concerning, they are not definitive indicators of pregnancy status. Always consult with your healthcare provider for tailored advice and support.
