i THINK i OV'd yesterday as my temp has bounced from 36.04 to 36.36

hi i am new to this thread. i a 36yrs and i decided to start charting after i found out i have pcos in my right ovary. i slept in air condition for the past three nights and i will like to know if that will effect my readings on the bbt?

Do your temps before ovulation mean anything?? My chart looks nothing like last month, I am constantly dropping and got my lowest temp ever this morning, 96.89, I don't usually drop below 97.2 I am also using the CBFM for the 1st time this month and today being CD14 I still have a LOW read...not sure what's going on!

temps before OV don't really mean anything. they're there for giving you a baseline temp really. Temps after don't really mean anything either to be honest. as long as you can see a clear shift in temps it's fine.

sometimes people experience a dip for implantation (i did at 5dpo with Pixie)

YOur probably going to O in the next day or 2. Still captain creamy here not a hope in hell of acuratly temping

Pichi how come our tickers say different cycle days?

 

[pichi]

because FF counted my spotting day as cd1 so i'm actually 1 day ahead. i also think i'm going to be a 36 day cycle by the time of OV. OV'd cd 25 so my LP is usually around 11 days

I o'd this month , but now temps are on their way down so makes me think I'm out this month

 

[pichi]

i'm late at OV'ing this month too - my cycle is going to be like 38 this month! and people wonder why i temp, lol

 

[Mrs.B.]

I o'd on day 10 so was quite early in comparison to other people, but its my first temping cycle that has picked it up so I was quite excited. only problem is once the temp was up 3 days to confirm it its too late lol. At least I have an Idea for next month hey

 

[pichi]

that's where OPK's come in handy

Im using a cbfm but its just not showing anything other than highs! i got a new one coming in post for next month

I have the opposite problem Mine isn't showing anything but lows! CD15 today and had a big spike in temp, so I thought for sure I'd have a high reading on the monitor... I am so confused. Do I believe the temps or the sticks I am peeing on

glad you o'd this month though hun!

Thankyou, me too, made me feel loads better seing in on the screen , I think I normally O as I have experienced sickness aroung ov time before so that tipped my opinion to that last month was a random month no oving. But we'll see with next month.

Is your monitor new? If so, I would go with the monitor until you can see a pattern in your temps. I thought I would cut corners and borrow a monitor from a friend, but I think it doesnt like the switch in hormones so I have ordered a new one x

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

No mine is not new, I also borrowed one from a friend...but I did the reset on it, so I thought I'd be ok? I don't have the money to go out and buy new, if it doesn't work for me no biggie I'll just go back to OPKs.

 

[Mrs.B.]

I did the reset to but its the only thing I can think of as to why its not showing anything! x

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Hmmm...I'm going to google it and see if I can find anything on borrowing and reseting. I find it hard to believe they would make those to be used by only 1 person, for the amount of money they cost...but I don't know! Am I reading right, is your birthday tomorrow?? Are you going to test tomorrow??? You'd be 10dpo!! What a sweet birthday present that would be!!
