Hey Coggy - Your temp is within the normal preovulatory range. It sounds quite high to me but that is only because mine have not been that high even after OV.
Odd isn't it? I always thought I was a "hot" person, I flush easily and don't need many clothes (!) but my waking temps are usually around 35.9c pre OV. Maybe duvets etc don't affect the basel temp?
My temp does stay higher for the first day and sometimes after during AF (well, around 36.3c - high for me), I read that it is usually the result of residual progestrone from the last cycle or fluctuating hormones that occur during AF. Don't think they are anything to worry about.
Do you think I should be worried about my low temps? Weschler says that lower than average waking temps throughout your cycle can be due to a possible thyroid problem. That said, I had mine tested 2 years ago because I thought it was on the blick then (had ben very ill) and it was ok but I know things can change.
I don't have the symptoms of hypothyroidism - apart from prolonged phases of fertile quality CF (well, creamy not EW - TMI sorry) but this is only my 4th cycle of charting. Think I'll just keep an eye on it for the next couple of months.
Are you charting CM too? (sorry can't remember )
Hi Angsthase - CM could be caused by high levels of oestrogen or a surge of it during LP (but that would give you a day or two of creamy CM)? could also be thyroid related? Might be worth you temping to see what your temps are like.
