From my understanding and I am new to bbt as well but you start the first morning of your period. It has to be the same time every morning. I don't think you can tell when your pregnant from the temp. I have found it difficult to chart my temp everyday because I wake up at different times. No worries about the spelling mine is bad too. If your looking for a buddy to talk to I wouldn't mind one. Me and my OH have been trying for 3 months now. Good luck!
 
thnkx. Hun.... I also wake up at different times this is going to be dif. For me too..lol but I might try it.... my hubby n I have been trying for almost two yrs. Already...lol loong time... hopefully u won't have to wait as long!
 
Here's a good article about BBT

Also, fertilityfriend.com is the best website to chart. You can put down symptoms, CM, OPKs.. it's the best and I think most ladies on here will agree. And it's FREE!! :) Just make sure you take your temperature at the same time every morning-- VERY IMPORTANT.


Good luck hun xxx
 
You actually can tell you're pregnant by temping, at least according to the awesomely comprehensive book Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

Your temperature goes up the day after ovulation (1 day past ovulation, or 1DPO). If it stays up for the next 18 days you are most likely pregnant. It will drop back down for your period, so if you see it dropping you are likely not pregnant.

One dip in the middle of the time after ovulation (the two week wait) isn't a big deal, if it goes back up it's still considered up. In fact that dip might be an implantation dip, which 10% or so of women who aren't pregnant get and 20% of women who are. It happens right around when implantation might occur.

Thnkx so much ladies... I'm going to take a look at the site snl! :)
 
Thanks!!! I was going to ask the same question. Just ordered my thermometer and should arrive tom. AF came today. Is it ok to take temp around 1-2 pm? Its the easiest time for me to take it daily.
 
Can I start temping mid cycle or is it best for me to wait until CD1 of cycle 2?

yes U can. I didnt think you could but my FS wanted me to start asap when we saw him and I was CD 13 when I started temping. this months chart is all crazy :wacko: normal chart is pretty steady for me. but its up and down alot!
 
I've just started temping & you can start at anytime in your cycle but you have to do it first thing in the morning though.
 
Thanks, I am aiming for 8am as whether week day or weekend I seem to wake up around then anyway.
