Alcohol impacting bbt

Hello there I had a mc last month and have been tracking bbt since I got a negative hpt.

I went to a wedding yesterday and had one cider which I drank over 3 hours and finished drinking about 2 hours before I went to sleep. The rest of the day I drank water. My ff has given me cross hairs after I've had a 0.3 temp rise today and it says I ovulated on Thursday. Would the drink cause such a temp rise? I hardly drink at all (probably not since last August) so have no experience of temping after a drink.

I didn't temp when ttc. We just carried on as normal but no contraception.
Week I got pregnant we were away on his business trip and I was plastered every night on cocktails so don't think it affects ovulation?

Alcohol doesn't seem to affect my bbt but I have read that it can do.

This link says if you have hangover symtopms it can affect it. I've never had a hangover in my life so that may be why it doesn't affect me.

Yes, it can effect it. I think there's an option on fertility friend to mark that you were drinking and it disregard that temp

This is my chart for reference, temping from after negative hpts.

@megabustravelling

This looks fairly normal to me. I'm also 3dpo today.

The few days of watery cm makes me feel like it could be accurate - I don't have ewcm every month.

@megabustravelling I don't either. Plus we dtd a lot this week as we were on holiday, so it was hard to tell! 😂

I had a chemical last month so like you I really want to get my sticky BFP this month.

megabustravelling · 02/06/2019 11:29

@Whyhaveidonethis sorry to hear of your chemical. How long had you been ttc for?

Cycle 9 now. I have 3dc with previous partner though. I'm 41 this year so feel time is against me. How about you

megabustravelling · 02/06/2019 17:38

Cycle 9, 30 and ttc number 1.

Just checked cm and I had a ton of ewcm. So temp was probably the drinking but here's hoping ovulation is on the way.

I've just had a positive OPK which I put in FF and it's changed to not ovulating yet this month and I'm not seeing my DP till Tuesday. I could honestly cry.

megabustravelling · 03/06/2019 06:52

@Whyhaveidonethis so annoying! Remember they can live up to 7 days, it only takes 1!

Thoroughly confused today after ewcm yesterday. Had another high temp today (one usual for post ov) so it looks like I have ovulated but don't understand why I had ewcm after ov.

@megabustravelling it looks like you dtd at the right time then!! My temps are pre ovulation today and I just had another positive OPK so maybe I've not ovulated yet and tomorrow won't be too late. Fingers crossed for us both!!!
