Flatline Temps? Bad thermometer?

[Curlyq111]

Hi all!
This is my first month temping/TTC #1, so I'm still learning. I'm curious, I now have had 5 temps in the last 6 days that were exactly the same. Seems a little weird, always 97.73. Can that really happen that consistently? lol. Here's a link so you can see the chart so far this cycle:

Another note: my BBT thermometer is Target Brand, was just under $10, was the only one I could find in a few stores. Maybe it isn't a great one? Just curious your thoughts!

It could be that way, as it is not one of the double-digits thermometers. Then again, my personal experience with a double-decimal digit in Fahrenheits is simply bad. One decimal is just fine in Fs, in Celsius, I'd recommend double.

I'd keep the same thermometer this cycle, as it will look even worse if you switched right now, but if the temp doesn't start shifting, I'd go ahead and buy a new one.


(Check my graphs - I've had a similar thing happen in the past, but overall it all turned out just fine. Last month's cycle was done with a newer thermometer, double decimal, CVS brand and I won't go back to using it. It was just too weird.)

Oh, nevermind. It IS a double-decimal. I'd probably look into a one-decimal thing after this cycle, then.

Your chart loks just how mine did the month I got pg with my daughter. It did the exact same thing... just give it another couple days to see if it goes up again

Mine were as follows:

9dpo- 97.9
10dpo-97.9
11dpo-97.9
12dpo-98.3
13dpo-97.9
14dpo-97.9
15dpo-97.9 and my BFP

Flat temps aren't always a bad sign..if you are worried, just change the thermometer battery and make a note when you did that x

I have a few flatline temps as well but I've tested my thermometer at various times of the day and it works fine. Hopefully it's a good thing! Good luck!
