How much should it go up by if you have ovulated?

Also is the coverline drawn above the last 6 temps.

Am on CD10 today.

Natty is been a long time since I temped, but didn't want to leave you without an answer. I think 1 degree is the answer. But do a search in google, there is a lot of information scateered about the internet.

Good luck!

trace2 · 04/08/2006 14:19

2 degree, give me your temps and ill have a look
mine was 26.2 or 36.3 befor ovulatin then went to 36.5 and 36.6 until af comes until last month got pg went up a second rise on 9dpo to 36.8 and them 37 so know i was pg

ok

desperate2bmum · 04/08/2006 14:57

i think i might try temping this month and ditch the ov sticks. is it a special thermometer you need? when do i start it? sorry to crash

trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:03

just get one from £ shop, i do ovu sticks too as i dont have cervical fluid

Natty1806 · 04/08/2006 15:06

What day should i start using ov sticks? i have had a 35 cycle up to 70 day cycle?

last month was 42 day

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 04/08/2006 15:06

Also what are the best ones to use?

OP posts:
trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:09

natty i wouldnt use if your cycles are long could be misleading, go for temp and cervical fluid, and maybe observing your cervix

Natty1806 · 04/08/2006 15:11

Will just stick to the temping then, did do it last month but they were all over the place, which suggests what i already know - that i don't ovualte.

Shall i post them as well or will the first few of this cycle be enough?

OP posts:
trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:14

until you understand how they work takes about two months its hard to understand.

how long as this cycle been this month? i usally only do mine fron day 8 now because af can send them wappy,

trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:14

do you use fretily friend?

Natty1806 · 04/08/2006 15:23

No, don't use fertility friend - should i?

On CD10 today

OP posts:
trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:26

well if free for a time, gives you time to work your chartd out, then i print mine off now do it that way but when i used it it help you if you get a rise, or explains if you have a drink and things,. well give me last months temps,,

MrsMcJnr · 04/08/2006 15:28

Trace, can I be a cheeky hijacker and take advantage of your goodwill and knowledge again, hope that is ok!

I thought my temp today would be close to yesterdays if I have OV i.e @ 36.4 but it is back down to 36.1 so my chart reads 35.9 for 4 days then 35.7, 35.8 then up to 36.1 above my cover line then 36.4 then down to 36.1 - looks odd to dip like that, does that seem ok to you?

It's just niggling me as to why I did not have any EWCM if I have ovulated.

Thanks so much!

trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:35

dont want to get you excited but it could be implation, put them down like this so i can check

day 1 35.7
day 2 35,8 and so on and we can work out how many days after dpo you are.

trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:40

have you had sex last night after ovulation it can cause a dip, nothing to worry about its just your cervis is lower

MrsMcJnr · 04/08/2006 15:42

trace2 · 04/08/2006 15:47

its nothing dont worry looks like you ovulated on day 17, its if it goes back down to 35.9 your cover line, you have had a three day rise now so i would say you have ovulated it could even go to 36.0 and its still above dont worry, it looks good

MrsMcJnr · 04/08/2006 15:56

natty this was very much like mine i did it for months because i thought i was wrong too, i had about 7 months of this only diffrance is i was 24 days every monbth! this is what i went to gp with its called anovulaory cycle , but you could still be ovulating it could be you are one a small percenage of women that dont show a thermal shift, so you need to have bloods and an iltrsound to see if you have progesterone, or an hormal imbalace. my blood said i was not ovulating so i took (waiting to see gygny then) agnus catus up to ovulation, and after two months got a rise in my temp was very excited! then when i went to gygny he gave me clomid and had a rise since. carnt really tell this month as you only on day 10, ( but remeber you could still ovulate. i hope yopu understood all that if not just ask, what happened when you went to fertilty clinc?

Natty1806 · 04/08/2006 20:57

Thanks Trace, they said they are going to give me clomid and gave me the information of when to take it etc but no clomid prescription, they mention writting a letter, think this was going to my gp. Who gave you your clomid? Am going to see gp hopefully nect monday and see what he says, because the nurse did say if i went over 42 day they will give me something to start a period so that i can get started on clomid.

Should i continue to temp or wait until i start clomid?

OP posts:
trace2 · 04/08/2006 21:04

i would ring gp on moday for the clomid, my gygny gave me one months them phoned gp for repeat,

i would carry on teming then you will see a diffrence when on clomid, yes thay can give you some thing to make af, if after 35 days you not got af tell gp its 42 then he will give you it.

Natty1806 · 04/08/2006 21:10

Good thinking. Yeah think i will ring next week, well off to watch bb now -even though i have missed most of it.

thanks for all you help on this, sure i will be asking more questions in the future.
