Share your BBT charts! <3

[zeni89]

Hi girls!
It's the first time I am charting this month and of course I don't understand it that well.. It automatically set my ovulation date which I think is wrong (I believe I ovulated on cd14) and my temps are messed up I was a little ill this month, I don't always take the temp at the same time and I don't do it from "there", just a normal thermometer under arm So not sure it could affect my results.. Please have a look at my chart and tell me what you think!
Also please share your charts here too, especially the ones that ended in BFP so we can all compare
Xoxo

Hey Zeni,
Good thread to start up I haven't started temping yet will do so probably tomorrow morning as AF is finishing off. I don't want to get to obsessive over temping so literally just going to do it until ovulation has been confirmed.
Just a bit of advice to you, if you want accurate results you need to be taking your temps at exactly the same time every morning as soon as you open your eyes with little movement involved. Also taking your temp from under your arm isn't something i have heard of. BBT is meant to be taken either like you said 'down there' or orally (in the mouth) which is what the majority of us ladies do.
Looking at your charts the white open dots means these aren't accurate testing and your ovulation day doesn't seem correct either.
If you don't conceive this cycle i would really advice you to temp orally and every morning at the same time to get accurate answers.
Hope this helps hun x

Yes, I had no idea it was supposed to be some special thermometer for that, I found out recently I will definitely do that next cycle, as I don't hold much hope for this one:/
Thanks for all the tips honey xxx

also zeni you potentially had a fallback rise at 14dpo. if you have opks or use them future they can really help if this happens, it happened to me once

 

[kristenann]

Mine so far... Temps wont be accurate as im not sleeping well with tooth pain and have a feeling of general unwellness

Fallback rise you mean I could have ovulated cd14?
And yes, I think everyone could benefit from bfp charts and symptoms along the way! Hopefully some ladies will be kind enough to join us

oh just read your topic properly again, and really are better to measure temp from "in there" or atleast from mouth
taking temp at same time to me isnt so set in stone.. relax, when you sleep you sleep when you wake and are actually ready to get up and go.. take temp then. thats what i do anyway but i do generally wake the time same time naturally for work so
opks will help you with pinpointing O when temps mess around!

im not an expert at all haha, but im going off what people have told me..but from my understanding it can mean you ovulated cd:14 but also doesnt nec' mean that. its something to do with body failing to ovulate first time so tries again? pleaseee dont quote me on it. but its my general understanding

 

[chattychar1990]

Taking the temp at the same time is a big factor with BBT. It will be less accurate if you test at different times and basically temps will be invalid in my opinion.
If you read up on BBT they always make a point of saying it has to be the same time. Give and take half hour. x

OH I get it now! yes that could be the case, cause I had a lot of ovulation cramps around cd14, not 10... cd10's low temp could be also due to the fact i was ill and weak? I dont know

 

[kristenann]

charlottes correct tho, it should be taken same time.
i just mean to say relax with bbt i had some really stressful months where i would be must be asleep by 10 and awake at 7 sort of thing and it added so much stress on me, personally, and then trying to sleep when your stressing you not slept so far etc nasty cycle! (hope i make sense)!
as i said i tend to temp 7am earliest 6.45 latest 7.30

 

[chattychar1990]

As long as you are getting 3-4 hours solid sleep it doesn't matter what time you get to sleep. I use to do mine at 5am every morning when the OH's alarm would go off. I will be starting my temping tomorrow and will also start again at 5 because my sleep is broken from 5am-7am when my alarm then goes off.

no idea zeni sorry! i had 1 chart with a fallback rise and someone told me i had a 'fake o' so who knows! id say if you can use opks to help you and maybe temp orally if you dont like vaginally
