No Temperature Increase?

[kymied]

I've been recording my temperature since my last period, according to mid cycle calculations I was supposed to have ovulated this past Saturday. I did see some increased mucus from Thursday until Sunday but there has been no increase in temperature. Is it possible to ovulate without increasing temperature?

No you have to get a temperature rise (and stay up of course) to confirm ovulation. Reason being is because progesterone raises your temperature. After ovulation your body starts producing more progesterone and estrogen is decreasing. Progesterone= warm, estrogen=cool. Also make sure you're doing it at the same time every morning. if not, here's a BBT converter that's fairly accurate https://www.whenmybaby.com/basalbodytemperature.php

Keep checking your CM and cervix. Do you use OPKs? xx



ETA: Do you have a link to your chart?

Those mid cycle calculators are crap. Unless you have exactly a 28 day cycle and a luteal phase of exactly 14 days, then yes you ovulate mid cycle. But most women do not since most women do not have 28 day cycles.

Just keep temping.

Since this post I have seen a spike but it is really late in my cycle, I usually have a cycle that is 35 days long and this spike is at day 27. I've been off the pill for three months, do you think that it is still affecting me? I've been measuring at 5 am when I get up for work and walk the 10 feet to the bathroom. Do I need to measure it before getting out of bed? Some weekend temperatures were taken at 7am.

It can take up to 6 months to regulate after the pills, so yes its possible to be having a wonky post-pill cycle.
