Hiya Rach

If you are pre-ovulatory Rach, your temps are completely normal. Mine were as low as 96.4 before ovulation.

thanks rachael hun that makes me feel better just thought it was odd when i looked at all the chart gallerys on fertility friend everyones was like 97. something and mine was 96.6 yesterday 96.7 today thought for a while there perhaps i wasnt taking temp correctly am a bit thick lol xxxxxxx

 

[Wobbles]

As far as charting & being thick is I 'do' thick I've left mine now I made that much of a bodge job of mine at different times

 

[rach]

lol wouldnt be surprised if i botch mine up at some point wobbles hun xxxxxxxxxxxxx

i thought this when i first started as well. I chart mine in celcius and even though only on the second month of doing it, def notice a pattern and notice when i have ovulated due to the shift and also know when AF is pending. I think it is a good tool to use and i recommend it to anyone. Good luck with it.

rusks do you use fertility friend? xxx

 

[rusks]

no i don't to be honest i am hopeless with computers!! i can't even post pics!!
i use the charts in the back of "taking charge of your fertility book" and the charts i got with the themometer in boots.

Very useful.

ok was just being nosey sorry hun have turned into a bit of a chart stalker lol i guess its just cos its all new to me xxxxxxxx

 

[rusks]

im the same Rach love looking at everyones charts esp if its when they got there BFP to see if mine follows a similar pattern!!

Im waiting for that classic pregnancy triphasic phase!! not that it happens everytime anyway!!

I make sure i take mine within an hour of the same time everyday(between 6.30 -7.30), as i work shifts sometimes after nights i can't count them as they are way higher as i haven't had as good as sleep as if i slept all night but i just join the others ones up and it all adds up.

How are you getting on with it?

 

[rach]

lol not very good hun slept in a bit yesterday so it was done late and a lot higher keep getting confused too with converting it so have changed it to celsius charting this morning that way i can just put in what the thermometer says lol much easier xxx

 

[Wobbles]

Quick one before I go off ...

I bought the Boots BBT thermometer pack yesterday & although the instructions don't tell you ... when you turn your thermometer on keep your finger on it & the reading temps changes from Celsius setting to Fahrenheit.
