Advice for BBT Charting and Clomid

[Dottiee]

Hey ladies.

This cycle I'm staring my first round of Clomid, finally. I've decided I'm going to chart and it's the first time I've ever really been able too.

I'm CD 2 and bought my BBT thermometer today. All pervious cycles lasted anywhere from 50 days to 200 days so charting never really seemed like something that would work for me. Now that my cycles will be somewhat regular with Clomid (and Provera if the Clomid doesn't work), I figured charting would be an excellent way to see if/when I've ovulated instead of having to wait for CD 28 for my blood results.

Having never charted before, I'm not 100% sure what to look out for. I know there's a slight temperature dip, and then a spike but that's about it. Also can being on Clomid effect your temps and make them inaccurate?

Any useful information or advice is greatly appreciated

Sme women notice higher temps whilst taking the clomid, but if you haven't temped before, you won't know that.

Ovulation is confirmed by three temps 0.2 degrees c higher than the previous temps, some women get a dip before ov, some don't. Fertilityfriend have a great tutorial on how to do it.
