Temps all over the place!

[dramallama7]

Just started temping this month as cycles unpredictable after coming off the pill and I had read how accurate this method is. I'm doing it orally as soon as I've been waking up, never bothered this morning though as something clearly isn't right here. I could do it first thing, then do it again a few mins later and the temp will be totally different. What's going on?! Graph attached as well as pic to show what one I'm using. Reluctant to do it vaginally.

I temped when I came off the pill.

From what I can remember, temping is only accurate if done as soon as you wake up, so don't keep retaking your temps.

The method works through establishing a pattern of temps over a few days, so one or two 'rogue' temps isn't a problem. I have PCOS and what I found was that the app I used was predicting I'd ovulated and then few days later, it would remove this prediction, but I eventually ovulated. This makes sense with my PCOS in that it takes a few attempts for my to actually ovulate.

I also started to monitor my CM and did this in conjunction with the temping app. I found this to be more accurate, because changes to my CM happened before ovulation, whereas temping only confirms ovulation, after it has happened. Once I got the hang of it I focussed on CM rather than temping. The key with this is to get to know your body and how it changes over a cycle so changes to CM, acne, moods etc.

Good luck.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I always entered the data from the first temp of the day but it's clearly not a method that works for me, I never got a positive OPK last month either so I'm just feeling really frustrated, I did get the EWCM though. Cycles still all over the place, trying to be patient but easily said than done

I chart as well and have more luck taking my temperature internally. I found after a couple/few months the app gave me an ovulation window that’s pretty accurate. When we were ttc I added in ovulation strips which were very good too.
I’ve charted on and off for 11ish years and can currently see how my dodgy hormones and running out coil have put me off my usual 29 days and

I forgot to say some months my opk’s don’t show an obvious ovulation day, but a few months of tracking usually helps give an indication.
