Help - Charting Temperature and its all over the place

[Ciara11]

Bit of background history, i have one DS and before i became pregnant with him, my temperatures were as follows: 36.3 most of the time and then 36.7 when ovulated and back down to 36.3 on day period started.

However since having DS my temps have been all over the place, it seems to stay at about 36.6 most of the time, increases very slightly upon ovulation but then doesnt seem to drop back down when my period starts.

Has anyone else had this? Is it normal after giving birth? How do i monitor things with these temperatures?

My DS is 14 months old.

Sorry forgot to add, it does go back to 36.6 the day after my period starts

do you use fertilityfriend.com? Ive started using it to record my temps and it can help to explain whats going on. Or if you already use it could you post a link to the chart (not that im an expert its my first month charting) but others here chart all the time and may know more about it if they could see an example of your chart

Ciara i'm no expert as I am still learning to understand my temps too but if your are hovering around the 3.36 mark most of the time and it's raising for your ov and then dropping again for AF, this sounds right. My temps are generally higher than yours but what you are looking for is a slight dip and then a rise over 3 days. This is your ov. Here's is a link to my ff chart if your not on. You can always sign up for a free trial. I found it helpful. Just remember other things can effect your temperature. Like if you have a cold (I think that's my high rise) or taking your temp at a different time. I used to forget and take it 15 mins after waking, that makes a difference.
