Bbt-ers: what's your average cover line?

[k4th]

I only have one cycle in my whole history where I know I ov'd using bbt. My cover line was at 36.45 degrees Celsius.

This cycle, my temps are still pretty high although I'm on cd5 & af left on Friday. I have only just stopped bc though so things might take a while to settle down. I have pcos too which wont help! I did wonder if my body temps might be a bit higher after having dd, or whether some people have higher cover lines than others.

So, where does your cover line usually sit? Just looking to compare notes & see what kind of variation is out there! Thanks ladies

My coverline last cycle was 36.13, and the cycle before was 36.10

My coverline from the cycle I conceived Paige was 36.12 (conceived first cycle, so had nothing to compare it to)

Quite surprised that they are so similar to each other!

Bump!

Anyone else? Even just a recent cover line number if not an average?? Thanks

my cover line varies. it doesn't even matter what it is, it just shows you the diff in temp pre-o and post-o. how high or low cover line is is insignificant.

Thanks Hun. My temps as of cd9 are all around 36.7 celcuis - I haven't found anyone with a cover line above this - that's why I was asking.

I have no patience & I'm trying to guess whether I will go back to annovulatory cycles now I'm off bc

36.7 does seem high but if your post-o temps are higher, then I guess in my non-expert opinion, you're fine. If you've had annovulatory cycles before, maybe this is another one.

wanna post it for me and/or others to review? *hugs*

Thanks for your reply hun

I'm only cd10 & so far all my temps are between 36.6-36.7 so my chart is pretty much a line lol!! My other cycles were a couple of years ago, but pre-ov temps were more like 36.2 on my ovulatory cycle and 36.4-36.5 consistently throughout my anovulatory cycles. I've never had early temps so high so I don't know what's happening. Thanks so much for your thoughts though - I'll keep hoping for a dip & rise

Hmmm, are you using a bbt thermometer to give you the double digit post the decimal? That might deter your flat temp though I must say, I've had flat temps even w the bbt so I can understand your frustration. I've looked over the last 11 months of my charting and I haven't had flat temps in the first 10 days of my cycle. My temp was erratic and that's bc the hormonal levels were leveling off as a result of no pregnancy. Maybe you are or were preggo and so your temps are still high?

 

[k4th]

Thanks for taking a look at your charts to compare hun! I really appreciate it

I am using a bbt thermometer and as I've just come off bc I'm pretty sure I'm not & haven't been preggo. My temp has dropped slightly to 36.59 today, so perhaps it's dropping off after bc and it'll just take a while.

I guess patience will be the key after all - all the second guessing is exhausting!

Mine is about 36.73 too xx

Wow - thanks so much for replying! I haven't seen anyone else's coverline around that temp. You've given me hope!!!! Your chart looks really healthy too

Thanks hun

Eta: just noticed that your chart is getting hotter (so to speak!). That's how my bfp cycle looked, my temp kept rising near the end. Hope you get a bfp fx

 

[suffolksazzle]

Thanks good luck!

 

[lilyV]

k4th - oh, ok, IDK how different a chart looks post getting off bc... search it in ff if you can.

suffolksazzle - omg, your chart looks AMAZING!!! when are you testing?

 

[suffolksazzle]

Lily, I've been testing since 7dpo and they have all been negatives so far xx

 

[k4th]

You're only 12 days post ov though - it's looking good. Fx xx

 

[suffolksazzle]

Thought I would have got a hint of a pink line before now though if I was pregnant nothing so far

Last cycle my coverline was 36.78, I was very surprised cos it's much higher than normal. my coverlines usually vary between 36.50-36.70

 

[Gumpyttc5]

mine is 36.5 this month hun xxx

 

[k4th]

Thanks briss and grumpy - I'm on cd12 and no sign yet & temps are still high although they've dropped to 36.55. Good to see some other high cover lines - I feel like I'm still in with a chance!!

Lily - thanks for the advice - I had a good mooch around fertility friend at some charts and found some more with high covers. Not many with. high temps, late ov, just off bc and with pcos - but that is a pretty tall order lol! Thanks for the tip
