CALLING ALL TEMPERS!

[lissiethevampireslayer]

started temping this month, CD2 temp was 36.6, CD3 36.5 CD4 36.45 CD5 36 CD6 36.3 missed my window on CD7 CD8 36.10 CD9 (today) 36.05, what does this mean? CD6 i was up in the night a fair bit with ds but last night i slept thru and took my temp asap. af has finished so was expecting a rise

anyone?

Sounds normal to me. Temps can be all over the place and/or higher than normal when you are getting AF (CD1-5) and then stay low until you ovulate. Mine are normally 36.0-36.2 before I ovulate. Once you ovulate they will rise by about 0.5.

thanks so its normal to rise and fall before ov?

you'll only know what your temps are like before ov'ing after you've done a few cycles. everyone's different so some women may drop before ov'ing, some women stay the same, if your temp goes significantly over 36.6 (your highest so far) then it's likely that you've oved (the day before).
Have you tried putting them into fertility friend? It works it all out for you.

I have found that temperatures rise and fall throughout the cycle really, it dips just before ovulation, then shoots up right after ovulation. Then you go back to the 'hill' like shapes ( if you draw a chart ) ups and downs.

I think after ovulation, temp stays slightly high and again if you get a big dip, then you will prob get your period.

The general pattern I have seen is 6 high readings before ovulation.

There are loads of websites that provide sample graphs. Work having a look.
