BBT Charting - pregnant?

I had a miscarriage about 8 weeks ago. I starting tracking bbt almost straight away after. My bbt went like this;

3-30 April - Above 98.17F
1-11 May - Constant 98.04F
10-11May - ovulation symptoms
11 May - TTC
12 May - One day drop to 97.60F
14-30 May - Constant 97.90F for 16 days

I thought I ovulated as my temp dropped after getting having lower left abdominal twinges for about 48 hours and although my bbt has gone up a bit, it isn’t very high. It wasn’t actually intentional that we TTC’d - I thought it was just period symptoms at the time. I’m kind of getting my hopes up that I might be, but my temp is too low surely? Thanks

If you're a new user, you have to wait 48 hours. If not new, press the paper clip icon.

When I charted for my first DD i dipped at ovulation and then steadily climbed.

I always did my charts in °c so I have just googled this and the last few temps equate to 36.6 °c which is a perfectly normal postovulation temperature. In fact mine have never been much over that ever and I'm 20 weeks! (obviously I stopped charting shortly after bfp but my temp that day was 36.52 which Google tells me is 97.7)

I've just taken it out of curiosity (not scientific as it's 16.13 so not first thing in the morning) and it's only 36.57! And I am definitely up the spout as my little boy has been kicking me all day! So lower temps definitely do not rule out pregnancy..

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I did Google the normal ranges for post ovulation temperatures and noticed that mine is within a normal range. The best only reason i’m confused is because when I was pregnant first time round, my post ovulation temps were a lot higher at 98.60F (37c). Does anyone know if temps can vary with different pregnancies?

I’m feel I should do a pregnancy test at the weekend now if there is actually a possibility I could be pregnant with temps this ‘low’
