Is something wrong with my stupid BBT thermometer?

What are the odds of getting 97.33 for 3 out of my last 4 temps?? And 6 of the last of the last 14 are 97.33.

Plus, I think i get up during the night way too much for this. a lot of nights ive woken up around 4am needing to pee, which is an hour before my "take your temperature" alarm is. last night i woke up at 3:30am.

I'm so frustrated. And I would SWEAR to you i've gotta be in the 2WW with everything besides my temp... i had fertile CM, swollen tender breasts, a half-positive OPK (never did catch a fully positive, but last month that happened too), and full ferning on my ovulation microscope. If my temps are wrong (and by wrong, I mean that i just dont get enough consistent sleep to accurately chart), then I am halfway through the 2WW already. and if my temps are right, well, then apparently I have some amazing temp regulating system to so often be 97.33
 
I know lack of sleep or interruptions during sleep can mess up the temp. It's happened to me but honestly, don't even worry about it. Just concentrate on your symptoms.
 
josiesmama...on cd19 i had a temp rise for 3 days but since then i have been getting the same 97.3 reading on my bbt all cycle...according to my temps i havent ovulated yet and its cd31, but all my other symptoms say i did on cd19. i am going to do some more research on the bbt bc its the only thing thats off.
 
i actually just found this older post..and 97.33 is one of the numbers!

thank you so much bellaxgee!! I guess I'll be testing in a few days! holy cow... i got to bypass half the 2WW anxiety! And apparently i can toss my BBT thermometer.... mine is the walgreens one listed in the post grrrr
 
My RE said NEVER buy a walgreens or walmart brand. You can't depend on them. I was using a walmart brand for one cycle until I bought one from amazon. The brand is "BD thermometer" or something. It has great ratings and I trust it more than my walmart one because the walmart one isn't making sense at this point in my cycle, either. Good luck to you ladies! :)
 
this morning my temp was 97.18... another repeating number, that number has appeared 4 times on my chart so far. UGH. what a waste of time.
