Hey guys,
Don't know how to share charts yet but I read online most people stay under 97.5 before ovulation - I've gone up to 97.9, is that normal?
Here are the temps after af ended:
CD 6: 97.5
CD 7: 97.8
CD 8: 97.7
CD 9: 97.9
CD 10: 97.7

This is my first month charting so I don't know what's normal yet. Also I only have a thermometer that goes to one tenth.

Thanks in advance!

My first thermometer (that I conceived DD with) only did tenths. It's fine as long as it is clearly a BBT. Otherwise it won't work.

When do you normally O/how long are your cycles? Earlier in your cycle it's not uncommon for things to be up and down.
 
Are you temping orally or vaginally? This makes a difference. Vaginal temps are quite a lot higher than oral temps.
Orally mine are quite erratic, vaginally they are much more stable. There are so many variations orally to take into account; whether you slept with your mouth open, talked in your sleep, had a drink immediately on waking without thinking, spoke to your OH before temping... these can all change what your temp will do. Vaginally there's less chance of it altering loads by other means. Obviously drinking alcohol or getting little sleep will make a difference whether vaginal or oral though.

Off the top of my head I don't know what they are in Celsius, but I think they seem ok, and I wouldn't worry too much about them varying. Unless they are unusually high persistently, if that's the case then ask your doctor to check for hormonal imbalances if there aren't any other factors at play
 
Ah ok. Cycles are normally 32 days, O around CD 18. Yes temping orally, but good to know it's nothing crazy. Temps were lower during af - about 97.5/97.6
 
Yeah, I wouldn't be worried at all. I think this is just normal up and down before it steadies around O and it doesn't seem abnormally high to me.
 
Curious I'm keeping everything crossed for you. I agree with others that that dip doesn't look low enough to really be sure AF is on her way and it could easily bounce back up tomorrow. And I am definitely more emotional being pregnant, more so than AF!

Cupcake idk about the progesterone. It's something to have if you are still in the same position in a month or two maybe? If you aren't sure. Step away from google, it is not your friend!!!

I am exhauuuuusted. I'd like it to be a pregnancy sign but think it's just my crazy toddler and hectic work schedule. Maybe a bit of growing a baby too though, who knows! I've just booked my first appt, still 3 weeks to wait though!
 
That's fine. Converting it to Celsius, looks fine to me. I wouldn't be concerned unless they were always elevated during your follicular phase.

Citrus, I think if I can continue to improve diet and keep up with meditation and exercise things should be ok. I think I have had issues for a while, since the implant immediately after the birth of our daughter and then my eating habits going crazy. It's taken three years to get to this point now, where my cycles are quite regular, my PMDD is starting to disappear (I was literally suicidal each cycle) and be more milder PMS only immediately before af instead of at least ten days before and a load of other things. So in comparison to what things were like, they have vastly improved. I think anxiety is my main issue now
 
Thanks for the input cupcake and curious - you guys keep me sane :p
 
Owl, how have you not tested yet?? I got my last bfp on 10dpo so I'm definitely going to be testing then, which is next Wednesday. I wish I'd ovulated a few days earlier so I could give my husband and positive test for father's day!

Well, I got my BFP with DD at 13dpo and it was super faint, and I had a chemical before that with day after day of faint lines that didn't progress so faint lines really freak me out! I'd rather just wait and see since my LP is short anyways. I do wish I was someone who could test early and not freak out though!
 
A little light pink spotting tonight that has since stopped. Likely AF coming but I'm going to keep the faith and say implantation bleeding. We'll see.
 
Not over yet curious - maybe you implanted later than you thought and this is IB :)

Does anyone know how to add your FF chart to your signature? I thought I did it right but I don't see it. Anyways if anyone would be willing to provide a step by step that would be helpful since I can't seem to figure it out haha
 
Sander, as you can see I struggled a bit myself with that!

Owl, hope AF stays away!
 
Curious, I hope this isn't af!

Sander, looks like you figured it out? There's a link there which is fine when I click on it.

CD11 here, hoping I will see a positive OPK today or tomorrow! They are starting to get a little darker, but I only have a few left so I can't decide whether to order some more or leave it and hope I see the surge today or tomorrow
 
5dpo today. Nothing at all to report. Just waiting waiting waiting...
