Basel temping I’m so confused please help

[lenasibbs]

So I have just started to chart my temp I take t every morning now before I get it, sometimes I wake up and just lie there before I take it or am I meant to take it soon as I wake?
I was meant to start my period Thursday but I didn’t normally if I don’t start the day I’m meant to I always start the day after. But it’s now 3 days late and still no period my temp has been high for me I’m always a cold person and it’s not normally this high. I don’t want to take a pregnancy test till Thursday so it’s a week late by then as Injist don’t want to see a negative test again. Normally before my period I have cramps and bloating and my boobs hurt bad but this time I have none of that apart from the slight nigglely cramps every now and again but they are nothing like my normal cramps.
I have added a photo of my temp chart. I have just started charting mind x please help x

Hey - if your temps are still high its a good sign I think all you can do is take the test to know for sure. But maybe wait until Thursday as you suggested. Good luck! I am temping now too and starting my tww. Hoping this is the month finally (been trying since 2015). Baby dust to both of us! X

Dontcarebear I just find the temping so confusing I dont, no why. Hopefully AF dosnt show and Thursday is a good day! And I really hope this is your month to hunny I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 xx

Hi, yes take your temp the same time everyday make sure its the first thing you do to get an accurate reading, theres a few temps missing from the chart so difficult to read, but i know thats as youve just started temping, It does look like your temp is coming down though with a spike on friday then beggining to tail of sat and today, saying that if you are late then do a test (you've better will power than me waiting until thursday i was a poas adict!). If you continue charting and temping i stopped taking oral temps, im a mouth breather so my temps were a bit erratic making ovulation hard to pin on a chart , I took vaginal temps which i know make some people feel a little funny, but i got accurate temps doing it that way!! xx

Lymphy ahh I don’t have any will power I just did a test and it was negative but I no it says your ment to take them in the morning and it’s only 3 days late so you never no, I just don’t get why I don’t have any period symptoms. I will try that with my temp actually it may be better xx
