Temping - can anyone help?

[H8624]

First month temping for me and I am so confused! I started temping the day after my period ended as that's when my bbt thermometer arrived.

Since then in the week I take it 15 mins after waking up, but before I move/get out of bed at 6.45, and on weekends it's around 8am.

Yesterday I started getting a bit of a cold and had a bad nights sleep - could that be the reason for the low temp today?

I'm on CD 14 of a usual 24 day cycle so surely I should have ovulated by now?!

Can someone please help? Could I have ovulated yesterday and today be an anomaly cause I have a horrible cold?! I still have EWCM which I thought would have gone by now!

15 minutes after waking is too long. It needs to be immediately and while you are still drowsy.

It also needs to be the same time every single day.

If you wake up earlier or get up or are I'll then you'll need to discount that temperature or mark it as abnormal

When you wake take your temperature immediately- ideally with the minimum of movement eg while you are in bed. Don’t sit up. Ideally at the same time every day - but there may be some Leeway with this.
Kindara is a good app and has a help forum

Thanks both. The 15 mins I am usually
Dozing so not doing anything or sitting up. Just takes me a while 😂. Could 15 mins really make that big a difference even if it's like that every day?

I'm wondering if my cold has made my temp low today, altho would have expected it to make it high!

Looks a bit erratic anyway? Why would you expect it high? Shouldn't rise until after ovulation?
